| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| As a devout Catholic I support the belief that Life begins at conception. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending? | ||
| If properly budgeted our Military Budget could be 3x more effective with the same financial expenditure. | |||
| No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| Yes | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Lowering Corporate taxes only increases Economic Growth for Americans. I do not support any form of income tax, sales tax, or death tax either. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| Federal education standards infringe upon the importance of regional schools learning the full value of their local heritage. Federal government does not have the authority to control our Education systems. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Global warming and greenhouse gas regulations are a liberal scam. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| I support a complete repeal of the National Firearms Act (Both 1934 and 1968 versions) and repealing all gun control legislation. Any individual who infringes on Second Amendment Rights should be charged with the highest level of Federal Felonies. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| Obamacare is a government scam, does nothing except increase healthcare costs and favors insurance industry. | |||
| Yes | 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? | ||
| Any government official who infringes on the enforcement of ICE activities should be prosecuted with Federal Felonies. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes? | ||
| I support a complete repeal of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Allowing free access to medication would greatly reduce healthcare costs. Doctors should not be held responsible for the medication decisions of patients, Doctors should be utilized for medical advice and patients should be allowed to make their own medication choices based on the free market. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force in order to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a nuclear weapon? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increased American intervention in Middle Eastern conflicts beyond air support? | ||
| The success of our Military Operations overseas is necessary to keep U.S. Citizens in America safe. | |||
| First Priority is to get Veterans access to their choice of non-VA Doctors so that their healthcare or surgical needs can be met. My second priority is to pass legislation which criminalizes the infringement of Second Amendment Rights by any citizen and charges those guilty with Federal Felonies. The base of my platform is to clean up the Foster Care System for both Children and Adults in those programs. We need better protection and options for Foster Care Recipients to give them opportunities at living the American Dream. |
