QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Health of the mother is in jeopardy, rape,
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Neutral
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
Depends on the business and what the service is.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separate, but there should be a relationship between the state and principle of natural law, or morality. It's defined in the preamble to the Constitution.
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.
C
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Neutral
I do support a two-state solution. If Arab-Palestinians live in Israel, they should have equal rights. I don't support building new Israeli settlements in Palestinian areas. This conflict cannot be solved without the USA and Russia being on the same page, and British geopolitics being kept out. An urgent program of economic development, with great projects of water management is needed.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Disagree
At the moment, our NSA is stealing from Chinese students at the Chinese Aeronautics Univerity. We should have full funding of NASA, and gear up our own scientific training. The biggest foreign threat to the USA is the GCHQ.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Stop funding it, and stop sending weapons to Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe, which is selling them on the dark web.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
When the governent and pharmaceutical industiries are trustworthy and willing to present evidence of the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in a public debate, and when the disease is life threatening and no treatment is available. Not now, in other words. George Washington was correct on small pox.
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 VA System is an interesting model. The bigeest problem we currently face is lack of ability to deliver care, due to hospital closures and staffing shortages.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Choose not to answer
I can't answer in this form. I do think that the corporate tax rate is too low, and I believe that there should be a very high marginal tax on those making over $20 million per year.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Choose not to answer
Again, this cannot be answered in this form. The key question is spending on what? We must invest in those things that increase the productivity of the workforce in physical terms. we should not continue to bail out Wall Street crooks.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Corporate tax rate should return to 35% -- otherwise the individual ends up paying more. Exception for investment tax credit on R&D. Ultra rich should pay higher taxes. People should pay into Social Security up to $300,000 in income. The cap needs to be higher to keep the fund solvent.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Refugees which we create by overthrowing governents. How can we turn people away after we destroy their nation? This is the wrong question. Why do we create so many refugees? Why don't we stop doing that? Obviously, we need a robust vetting program, and we should do something to address the situation of undocumented persons who've been in the USA for many years, who have clean records, and who are contributing to society. They should have apath to citizenship, and pay taxes like everyone else who works here.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
"conduct consistent with departmental policy" If they act in violation of sound department policy, they should not be immune.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
We need to restore our mental health system, but that is a whole separate issue. If we stop bailing out Wall Street, we can afford it.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We definitely don't need any new restrictions. There are plenty already. Guns are not the issue.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Lean Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I worked with Lyndon LaRouche for 33 years, including immediately after he was indicted by Robert Mueller in Boston. I vehemently oppose the Green New Deal and Great Reset of Klaus Schwab. We need to put the trans-Atlantic monetary system through bankruptcy reorganization, reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, nationalize the Federal Reserve, and invest trillions of dollars in rebuilding and modernizing our decripit infrastructure. Water management, nuclear power are key. We do NOT need to be at war with Russia or China.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
I don't really know what that means. People should not be discriminated against for housing or employment based on sexual orientation or gender, reliigion, or any other reason. Every person should be treated equally. No special classes or rights.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
We should start teaching actual American history, and not fables written in British textbooks.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am an ecumenical Christian. Every human being is a child of God and deserves an opportunity to fulfill his or her given talent. 1 Corinthians 13
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Paper ballots, chain of custody -- must be counted at the polling place, not transported. No unattended drop boxes for ballots. No more no-excuse absentee ballots. Election Day should be a holiday. No early voting.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Stupidity is a much bigger threat, along with the FBI and CIA, which have demonstrated time and again that they are not trustworthy.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
For the time being, because we need the energy. We really need to build a lot more nuclear power plants.
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.
Human beings are not causing climate change. We need more CO2. Big corporations should ot be allowed to spill toxic waste into our water or landfill.
