QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
There are enough wealthy individuals who are available to fund this type of activity. They do not need tax dollars from individuals who’s religious beliefs would be affected while knowing their money facilitated that behavior.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Choose not to answer
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Choose not to answer
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I am for minimum wage.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Socialism is the downfall of all societies.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) Fiscal Restraint 2) Scrutinized Oversight with Audits and Accountability 3) Transparency to the Public via media and Portals
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Exactly what it says… Although this Nation was built with God in mind. The currency actually reads In God We Trust and no one else.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
People who own businesses are not subject to have their rights imposed upon or violated while relegating themselves to someone else’s whims and wills.
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.
C) Is the answer. Our country is built on a free market capitalism platform that has worked for 250 years. Of course Medicare is to remain available while a safety net of Medicaid should remain.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
Not into tracking a free people because they are no longer free. You can collect statistics but with no names attached.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The have been our biggest adversaries for 50 years. People are not paying attention.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The USA literally gave the current land of Israel back to the Jewish people after WW2. Why wouldn’t we protect it’s sovereignty? The region is critical for logistical purposes for World Stability from a military standpoint.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I support getting the undocumented non citizens documented from State standpoint so you know where everyone is and who they are. This sanctuary stuff is a surrender of our values and our land. We are not declaring SANCTUARY! We will document everyone because it is literally impossible to deport all of the people that Biden let in ina way legally because he let them in via his policy for the purpose of gerrymandering. They can pursue citizenship from the Fed after they have been doced and vetted.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The US Department of Education never educated anyone. Perfectly fine with smaller Government with States in the charge of distributing money for Public Education, Charter Schools, Private Schools, Magnet Schools and Home Schooling.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
This avoids external unwanted influences which is imperative to our autonomy as a Nation. We will avoid Socialistic and Communistic influences while following this doctrine.
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
People of Maryland were duped in the General Election 2024 when they answered YES to question #1. They NEVER READ the question. It said literally “REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FOR ALL.” That means that the State can take your very very young child from you if the child says they feel like a boy when they are a girl; or, a boy says that he feels like a girl. This was a set up against parental rights. If a counselor hears this at school they can now whisk your child away in Maryland.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
It is child abuse! What parent is that damn dumb. They exist. They think it is cool or cute… No one has the right to direct a child in any direction with regard to human gender identification physically. The individual has a right to their own decisions with regard to their bodies in these matters when they are at an age of understanding through introspection.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
I have no idea why Government got involved with a religious act to begin with because it goes against separation of Church and State. The original premise was based on a civil union before God. People want to abuse the notion of marriage so they can share advantages of by claiming married such as receiving Social Security Benefits and Health Care Benefits and Tax Relief while being identified as a married partner.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
I am not a gambler. It’s revenue that the State collects from taxation. Other States take advantage of the nature of this condition. People are free to gamble.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I knew the existence of God before I was conceived. People generally do not remember the day of their birth because they didn’t have the human communication tools to recognize the event. It was a momentary blinding experience. Very bright. And… yes… you cry because it’s quite an event. Yes… believe.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
If you are a long time Voter that Votes by mail; and, the ballot was mailed to you because you lived in the same place like forever… and, you have a recognizable signature, you get a pass. If you are a newly registered Voter, bring identification. People have a propensity to cheat. This is 2026. Explain to me WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE IDENTIFICATION? Make it easy. Keep everything on the up and up. Is this really a problem? Or, just a problem for Socialist who are backed by George Soros?
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Free loaders. People alive today have a very vague recollection of their past if any at all with regard to the suffering of their forefathers from the beginning of our Nation. Everyone suffered the colonization of the US with Disease, Starvation, Elements and Conflict Abound. If YOU didn’t PERSONALLY experience the situation, stay out of it. You DESERVE zero. Go enlist… then give me a call when you really know what sacrifice looks like if you think that you are somehow “owed.”
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.
Strongly Agree
The entire matter is a non matter. If the transgenders are so bent on showing off with their flamboyant agenda, why do we be entirely fair while offering transgender competitions? Makes entire sense to me. A transgender is not genetically a man or woman rather an altered version of human via chemicals and surgery ie hormone therapy and castration. That is called reality while anything else is mental illness. You want society to cater to this elective condition, then we can w/ Transgender Sports
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
Not only is it junk science but idiocy via arrogance and egocentrism to actually believe that somehow Marylanders can change the weather. People say “all of this strange weather.” You have to be kidding me. You aren’t thousands of years old to be able to identify what is strange weather. The climate has changed for Billions of years including many times in fact the majority of the time uninhabitable by humans by temperature alone. We have zero impact on climate. Mother Nature is Gods plan.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
First this sudden NEED for all of this energy is based on the forced EV agenda to buy vehicles from Elon Musk. We don’t need more energy if we don’t follow the path of the retarded agenda. State owned Modular Nuclear Power Plants is the Future in MD.
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
I can work across the isle. However, the only way to save this State is to knock of the ignorance of Advanced Clean Cars 2 and the failed Blueprint for the Future both of which are used to siphon off huge sums of money from Marylanders… I kid you not. I have a whole rack of whistle blowers set to come forward. I bring something called FISCAL RESTRAINT. These electric energy bills can be cut in half the second that the infrastructure contract is cancelled with PJM and the Grid Operators.
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.
Not convicted of anything in this State…
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
I bring forth a plan to implement Reasonable Restraint, Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground into the exceptions in Maryland Criminal Code so we can reasonably actually defend ourselves without any Duty to Retreat. Laws that hinder the natural basic human behavior of “flight or fight” have got to be eliminated by implementation of these self defense rights!
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Do I have to expand? Not. We all have that responsibility.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
I do not infringe in the right to Religious Freedom. This goes to Separation of Church and State. Sharia Law is religious law.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I do not believe in gun control whatsoever as you have a right to protect yourself and to hunt. I hedge on US Supreme Court decisions as to what are weapons of mass destruction. Local ordinances in major metropolitan areas are understandable with regard to automatic weapons and locations such as schools etc… Disarming Americans is the wrong answer.
