Pro-life Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
I support mandatory parental notification and authorization before an abortion can be performed on a minor and I oppose judicial bypass.
No In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
Yes Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare?
I believe that Social Security entitlements need a cost of living adjustment to ensure that our seniors are living their golden years happily, without facing undue financial burdens through no fault of their own. I believe that Medicare should be capped and medical professionals should be required to serve our seniors at a reasonable cost. I also support eliminating the high costs of prescription medication by investigating and regulating the pharmaceutical industry-which is presently operating as a racketeering enterprise at the expense of the tax payers. They are abusing people!
Yes Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?
I believe that corporations and unions have a long history of corruption involving murder, intimidation, coercion and other serious crimes and that their ongoing criminal behavior should not be allowed to continue to influence our election process or results.
No Do you support increasing defense spending?
I support a small federal government and the idea expressed by our nation's founders that a standing army is a threat to liberty and ought not be kept except at times of war; war being exclusively in accordance with the commands of the Constitution, requiring a formal declaration by Congress. Endless wars and a federal police state is completely unacceptable morally, and it is bankrupting our one nation under God.
Yes Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?
No Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth?
No Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19?
I believe in supporting all families and individuals that need help during this pandemic. I do not support using federal tax revenue to help special interest, especially failed state and local governments that are using this pandemic to in an attempt to further defraud and steal money from the people of the United States.
No Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards?
I believe that education falls exclusively within the parent/child liberty interest and that state and federal governments need to stay out of family personal matters and stop using the power of government to indoctrinate and brainwash children under color of a racketeer influenced compulsory public education scheme designed by socialist progressives that are bent on the abrogation of individual liberties.
Yes Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?
Yes Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions?
I only do so because corporations and businesses in general have demonstrated that they can not be trusted to do the right thing due to conflicts of interest and financial greed which threatens future generations right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
No Do you generally support gun-control legislation?
I oppose all gun control legislation and current federal laws because they violate the commands of the Constitution with respect to the First, Second, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Yes Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?
No Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19?
I believe that it is the duty and responsibility of Congress to provide meaningful relief to citizens in times of a national emergency or public health crisis and that private businesses should not be forced into financial ruin or hardship due to no fault of their own.
No Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border?
Yes Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship?
I do not support a wall at our boarder because it is irresponsibly costly to build and maintain and it doesn't stop trespassers for breaching it. It is nothing but a pathetic symbol of tyranny. I believe that the United States government has a duty and responsibility to keep invaders out of our country and that trespassers that attempt to enter the United States of America illegally should be shot just like if they would be if they attempted to illegally enter China or Russia.
No Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)?
Yes Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts?
Unless Congress approves the use of our military for this unconstitutional purpose and those governments pay us for doing so.
No Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)?
I believe that countries that have different standards and values concerning the rights of human beings should not be trading with each other because it lowers the standards of the nation that cherishes individual liberty and is ultimately transformed into a new kind of society; one run by tyrannical corporate leaders and unions rather than one run in accordance with its own government charter.
PRIORITY 1: Reduce federal spending by 50% by significantly downsizing the federal bureaucracy, including its unconstitutional standing army, and keeping the money where it rightfully belongs-in private bank accounts. PRIORITY 2: Abolish all federal laws that violate the Second Amendment. PRIORITY 3: Create a federal Family Bill of Rights that abolishes the Child Protection Act and provides relief from corrupt and abusive so-called State Family Courts and community based Mental Health Care organizations.
