OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Neutral

So much hypocrisy here. Healthcare is denied for the living at home while we drop bombs on foreigners abroad. I see nothing but sadness in the act of an abortion because it is an innocent. Yet we live in a world where many of our young people feel that they are unable to provide for themselves. Abortion for many is not a choice, but a byproduct and forced solution to survive in society who values paper over humanity. I wish to create a society where life is a real choice for these mothers.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

The living are dying in our streets from hopelessness. Turning to drug addiction and prostitution to survive. Isn't the living a greater concern and priority? Our nation is on the edge of the proverbial cliff. From Iraq, to Gaza, to Lebanon, to Iran, to our own people where is the value for life? Where is the love for our fellow man? We need to shift our priorities!

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I am running for federal office. The subject of abortion is a state issue per the Supreme Court and the Ten Amendment. Therefore it is outside of my jurisdiction. If you are asking for my personal beliefs, while I would like people to choose life and would attempt to make life into a feasible choice, I am unwilling to use the force of law to dictate that decision.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Neutral

If a state votes to outlaw abortion the federal government should adhere to the voice of its people and therefore should not provide federal funding. For the other states I don't see why abortion should be singled out as an exclusive medical need. Given the insane amount of money we throw at the corporate medical establishment free clinics are a better option under the collective responsibility of state governments and local guidence similar to the local school districts.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral

If abortion is to be under the authority of the states, then those states who choose to allow it should also have the right to receive such medications as determined by their state legislature. If a state wishes to ban transportation, they also have that right to so do. Would I ban such transportation as a member of the state legislature? No, I would not.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

We live in a land where the elite own everything, and the poor have become their serfs. Americans have become slaves to their corporate masters. Competition means giving the government back to the people. It means entrepreneurship, creativity, imagination. Lobbyists for corporate oligarchy have made these things a crime in order to remove competition from America. If you want to bring back the dream of America, you must unleash America. You must unleash the human spirit.

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Neutral

Here we are the wealthiest nation in the world, and our people can't afford to pay rent. Our people are voiceless next to the political class. We are neither free nation nor a democratic one. It is time for the people to take the place over their representative gods and represent themselves. It is time for direct democracy. It is time for a constitutional convention where the people can choose themselves over the elite.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

Each presidential, gubernatorial, and mayoral candidate should be allowed to put forward a tax rate and a budget. If elected and their budget goes into deficit they should not be allowed to run for re-election. In this way the choice is given to the people directly over their wallet.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1) Stop funding Israel and their wars. 2) Allow the people a voice in the process of budgets and taxation. 3) Remove congress in favor of a direct democracy See my books Learning How to Fly2 the Promised Land for a humanity Unwilling to Leave the Nest” and Contra-Zionism the Biblical Argument again Zionism on Amazon\Audible for more information.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Neutral

I went to seminary submitted my thesis "the Arabs are Israel." They kicked me out saying you may be right but if we accept this topic no one will higher our graduates. I asked questions at church. Members of the congregation said this guy has some amazing insight into the Abrahamic Covenant and for this I was also expelled by the pastor. My Biblical posted are censored on social media. Do religious intuitions have the right to censor the Bible when in conflicts with their narrative?

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means the segregation of religious ideas. It means that religious ideas are not welcome in society. It means that when discussing ideas religious beliefs are masked with secular answers to fit into a secular society. And yet those same religious beliefs give way to genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. If there was ever a time to have an honest conversation about the Bible this is it.


HEALTHCARE

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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

My mother was a missionary in the Philippines. She worked very hard, but not for profit. Doctors are murdered in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran daily, yet they still go to work without pay. I believe like education the local governments should each be responsible to provide some form of healthcare. I would not ban the private sector, nor would I federalize healthcare, but the states and local government should have a collective responsibility for the health and welfare of their people.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Agree

In emergency situations a doctor needs all the resources and history available to treat their patients. A friend of mine was in a car accident, and the doctor treated him with a drug that he was allergic to. Knowledge is power for good and evil. It all depends on how we use it.


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.

The United States has become eviler than any nation I have ever know in my history on this planet. It does not respect the sovereignty of any nation. It does not honor its agreements and its leaders openly brag about deliberate murder. Jesus said take the beam out of our own eye before you try to get the sliver out of your neighbor’s eye.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Disagree

Chinese cares more about its own people than the US cares about Americans.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

1Chronicles5:2 Joseph, the ancient kingdom of Israel, not Judah, inherited the Abrahamic birthright. In 2Kings16:7-9 Judah, the Jewish Kingdom, sold Israel, like Christ, from the Temple’s coffers. Judah’s culture and people survived and merged with Edom(13Josephus9:1), but Israel whom Jeremiah31:9 calls the son of God, died(Hebrews11:17-19). What right do they have to the title of Israel? Why doesn’t Christianity believe in the resurrection of the son of God? Isn’t the curse self-evident?

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Disagree

It was our hatred and bigotry that created this animosity. What hate destroyed only love can rebuild. I love Muslims. I love Arabs. I love Iranians. Words are not enough to express my sorrow of the evil my nation is inflicting on them right now. Jesus said those who live by the sword will die by the sword.


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Borders for me are artificial man-made things. They cut off families and in the form of nationalism create gods over men. We live in a society that take places value in paper over people. Where paper makes a person important and powerful. This is because the human spirit is restrained in America. The true power is in imagination and creativity. People with their true potential unleashed are infinitely more powerful. If we had a free society this would be self-evident. It is what made us.

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Disagree

Matthew 25:31-46: Gather the nations and divide them this way, if I was hungry did you gave me something to eat? If I was thirsty did you gave me something to drink? If was a stranger and you invited me in? If I needed clothes did you clothed me? If I was sick did you looked after me? If I was in prison did you came to visit me? Love is the responsibility of the nation, not the city, and those who give to the poor are lending to God and he pays back with interest. Proverbs 19:17.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Neutral

We have people graduating with PhDs that come out of school with minimum jobs. The creativity of youth is lost to papers that are read by a professor for maybe 15 minutes and then lost and forgotten. The potential of American youth is wasted. And with lost years opportunities for marriage, family, and home ownership are lost. If only the young realized just how important those years were and how as a society we squander them.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Disagree

Each nation has its own form of an EPA, Department of Education, Energy, etc. This means that each corporation much made products that fit within each nations standards in order to be sold by that nation. Imagine if these were International Standards and departments. Then humanity would be on a level playing field. In order to enforce sovereignty each nation could choose to accept or reject the standards, but at the same time we would be creating a bar for humanity to live up to.


VALUES

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Agree

Let kids be kids. Questions about sex will naturally come, but they should not be forced or coerced. What an adult does is up to them, but a child is still learning who that they are.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Neutral

Marriage is ordained by God. But that same God creates people who have two genders. If he creates us uniquely on the outside, who is to deny that creativity does not also exist on the inside. He is the potter and we are the clay. Should one say why was I created like this? Love is greater than the law and whom God has put together let no man separate.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

1Chronicles5:2 Joseph, the ancient kingdom of Israel, not Judah, inherited the Abrahamic birthright. In 2Kings16:7-9 Judah, the Jewish Kingdom, sold Israel, like Christ, from the Temple’s coffers. Judah’s culture and people survived and merged with Edom(13Josephus9:1), but Israel whom Jeremiah31:9 calls the son of God, died(Hebrews11:17-19). Why doesn’t Christianity believe in the resurrection of the son of God? Like Christ, they’re conceived through the testimony of Gabriel, despised for their Divine message, the elite deny their identity and are conspiring to crucify them. Mine is a history of pleading to the Gentiles, “Your little brother is alive, his sacrifice chosen, come to the banquet!” https://LearningHowToFly.ONE


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

In 2018 I ran for congress. As a profession I stated that I am an author and listed my book. Two days after the voter guide was released my book was removed stating that the font print was too small. Of course I had been using the same font for ten years with no issue. Signatures to get on the ballot were dramatically increased to keep third parties off the ballot in several states. Is there fraud yes, but somehow it always seems to work for the elite and against the underdog.


EQUALITY

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear. We now have the ability to power nuclear power plants from depleted uranium (toxic waste). Thus, we can dispose of toxic waste and power ourselves at the same time. Seems like a win-win.


ABOUT YOU

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

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?

Choose not to answer

I am me and I choose to be me. Such labels paint with a broad brush. I see all things through the lens of love. Sometimes love is conservative, sometimes liberal, sometimes secular, sometimes religious. I love ideas and exploring new ideas. Labels tend to suppress portions of ourselves to conform to the ideology. I prefer to step outside of the box.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Neutral

Somehow I sense that their is more to this question? How are they going to accomplish this? Are they going to monitor all your online activities? Need more information to properly answer this question.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

The US should have done a background check before giving Israel endless free supplies of weapons of mass destruction. Is not an armed Palestine key to ensure their survival and liberty? Just as occupation of Boston was the rallying cry for American Independence, Palestinian occupation is the cry for Arab Independence. How is it that such a thing as liberty is no longer so highly valued? How is it that America has become the Red Coats? Endless Hypocrisy! Give me liberty or give me death!
