I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Everyone who's experienced depression understands how it clouds perception, no matter how dark it may seem life is always prescious.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
"It takes a Village"; Abortion/BABY, Unplanned Pregnancy, Two individuals, the village. I enjoy problem solving more than arguing because actions always speak louder than words, and abortion is a symptom of community problems not the cause. The second most important principle I try to live by is the"Golden Rule", I would rather someone help me learn not to repeat my mistakes than had on the consequences of them. We all need help sometimes, and deserve love always. The choice is prior to conception in all occurrences of pregnancy but unfortunately it only requires one person to choose in some instances, although out may be hard to see him: GOD is there too. The most important defense is against those few who seek to force their will on others, free will is our greatest gift and murder is a mortal sin.

ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
There can be no directed distribution of wealth for/against, that is just the opposite of the road we traveled to arrive at a place where 50% of our population has accumulated less than 1% of our countries total private wealth. Private industry is for those who value money over service and government office is for those who value service over self. With two parties, and an entire government of people who value profit and service to themselves and wealth over service to others is the problem.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
There can be no sacrifice when somebody else is paying the bill, and for the past 20 years our elected officials have been pushing a large portion of the bill onto the future. There can be no sacrifice without responsibility, and the gross overspending since 2002 signifies our elected officials choose for others to suffer while they profit. Our elected officials net worth has an inverse relationship to the countries, why don't they treat all of our interests the same as their own?

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The actual rates may stay the same but adding at least two more categories of higher tax brackets. There is no reasoning that the richest person in our country is in the same tax bracket as 95% of our elected representatives. There should also be minimum tax brackets by net worth: for families with 10-15m,15m-25m, and so on. Families with up to $2m not including primary residence should be rewarded and protected, while those with 10m, 25m, 40 billion, can pay more. There is so much room that exists between raising taxes on the 80% of Americans who are not financially set for life, versus the myriad of differences in the top 10% of Americans by net worth. The top 10% had over 90 trillion total assets as of the first quarter this year, the bottom 50% had a little over three trillion.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Potentially, any vaccinations that were invented prior to the '90s and have not been changed May be beneficial. Ever since the '90s pharmaceutical companies and vaccines are all about profit and the government should not have any relationship with private business promotion.

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
B. The current situation should not be approached from the healthcare insurance aspect But rather the bureaucracy and provider end. There are too many people profiting from healthcare and the prices reflect that. There is no option of controlling prices, but investigating to uncover where the profiteers are, and trying different options will only create competition and a better marketplace.

NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
D. I believe the majority of our veterans and members of the armed forces are some of the best people in our country, we need to promote the ones who value service over profit and would serve the best interests of their fellow service members over defense contractors.

Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Disagree
I believe the Chinese military's focus on defense and regional military power poses no military threat to the rest of the world. We must stop allowing excuses to continue our bloated defense budget which spends infinitely more on concepts and weaponry than it does people.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
One of the most embarrassing things in my life, is the fact that in 2001 for at least two or three years I was manipulated into hating others who I didn't know based upon a lie! I WANT INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, I WANT ANSWERS. Not with the goal of punishing anybody involved but rather to ensure that we don't repeat that same mistake again.The government of our country being transparent about all of our military actions, to the people, is the best defense against any form of homeland attack. There is no question how many foreign migrants wish to come to the United States to prosper, perhaps we can look at what we're doing to create people who want to come here to cause trouble? Every American person outside of the government, to party power structure, are welcoming and loving of others. Why do we allow a very few at the top to manipulate our best service members into killing others not in defensive hour direct country? I am not running for Congress because I have all the answers, but rather because I have too many questions that are still unanswered and I believe other Americans are like me in that respect. We can't make informed decisions when we are not being informed!

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
By removing the two major political parties who profit from division and distraction, I think it would be very simple to control the illegal migration issue.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God the father, creator of heaven and earth, all that is seen and unseen. The most important thing is that I live by my religion and hold myself to a higher standard than I apply to others, it is important to spread my God and I choose to spread him through my actions and positive energy.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Unless you would be okay with somebody else voting for you, of course there should be ID required to vote. The issue is what happens after a person votes, us average citizens are too disconnected from the party processes that we would have no way of verifying what's being told to us. Unfortunately all the credibility has been used up and it is only partisan now, so as a non-partisan person I have nobody to trust but the evidence. My goal would be to show the evidence and allow that to speak

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would not even begin to address voting laws, but I do believe there is too much financial attachment to campaigning. There is no service to the American people if elected office is an investment for the wealthy

EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Reparations should be available to all who need them, providing they have a plan to use those assets in order to better their lives and the community around them.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Division is the greatest threat to our UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, The extreme division our two political parties, with a monopoly on government, have sown over the last 15 years is despicable and I have to fight against that division. WE are capable of anything together, and divide it we fall. The only people who profit from war are those who don't participate and those who provide the weapons and bandages

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Choose not to answer
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
Neither, identifying those who value personal profit over service will be integral in elevating those in poverty in our country. With that example it will spread across the world, then once all our human beings are living a life they are proud of and want to protect we can focus 100% of the population to solve any problem there is.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
People over party days it all. I admire people who accumulated wealth through private means and I admire those who chose service to others over profit, I have always placed others far above myself and it made me a poor businessman, however it has taught me the value of balance. The salary of a government official is significant to me, without a concern for financial sustainability I can focus 100% of my energy on that service which I have always thrived at. In the past I only focused on finances when I was unable to sustain my service, and I realize that was devaluing myself in the private sector, in the public sector I believe that is the perfect equation for a government official

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Disagree
We are all responsible for our actions
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds that go to equipment, vehicles, or weaponry which is not necessary or conducive to a local law enforcement agency, and in the previous 20 years money was taken from mental health treatment for the communities so that should be reinstated. We all know proliferation does not work, it only increases tensions so why do we continue to arm local police forces to deal with terrorist caricatures from the early 2000s?

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Same answer as abortion issue. I don't believe in controlling outcomes I believe in changing the causes of problems
