Please describe what you see as the top domestic policy challenge and how you
plan to respond.
• I believe that open boarders are the top domestic policy challenge. My response plan is to pass HR 2 and let’s build 200 miles of boarder wall annually, increasing boarder agents to 22,000, modernize agents’ tools & technology, give no benefits to aliens that do not come in through an authorized port of entry, tighten asylum language. Reenact catch and return and the other provisions in H.R. 2.
In the United States, how secure are our democratic institutions and our democracy? Using a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being very secure and 1 being in significant decline, rate our security. Please explain.
Rating 2:
• Freedom of speech is threatened. The Federal Government and Social Media Platforms collaborated on censoring conservatives.
• Federal Government overreach into State’s Rights. Texas is being sued by the Federal government for trying to secure their boarder.
• Religious Liberty is under attack. During the Covid Lockdown, churches services outside as well as inside were banned, while strip clubs were allowed to stay open. Gail Blair, a blind woman, was banned from passing out the Gospel of John at a public park. Coach Joe Kennedy took the knee in silent prayer after a football game and was fired.
What actions, if any, will you support to create a pathway to citizenship or legal
residency?
• First and foremost, secure the boarders.
• I support merit-based immigration and would give priority to people that can contribute to the economy.
• I support temporary and seasonal work visas that require the individual to return home at the end of the work period.
I support mandatory use of E-Verify to protect immigrants from exploitation and punish companies that do not comply with immigration laws.
• For those illegals that are here now, they need to be vetted for criminal history, agree to learn English and assimilate into American Culture and face potential fines and penalties up to and including return to country of origin and re-enter legally and be subject to a waiting period if not deported.
Climate change is a threat to life. Using a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being strongly
agree and 1 strongly disagree, how would you rate this statement? Please explain.
Rating 2:
The August 14th, 2023 report by the Global Climate Intelligence Group, signed by over 1,600 scientists, concludes there is no climate emergency. It asserts that the end of the Little Ice Age in 1850 naturally led to rising temperatures, which are progressing slower than predicted by IPCC models. The report states that CO2 is not a pollutant but rather beneficial for vegetation as it promotes plant growth. It counters claims of increased frequency of hurricanes, floods, and droughts, suggesting that CO2 mitigation efforts are both harmful and costly. Also, the report points out that climate science is devolving into a belief-driven discussion rather than grounded in rigorous self-critical scientific inquiry.
Where do you stand on the racial divide in this country? Should Congress
address it?
•America has made great strides in closing the racial divide and Congress has played, and should continue to play, a role in closing the divide even further. Examples of government policy that have been helpful include pro-growth tax reform and responsible deregulation have helped create jobs and reduce unemployment for African-American and Latinos. Welfare reform help others escape dependency on the government. School Choice enables families to place their children in better performing schools. Lastly, I read of an initiative sponsored by James Lankford and Tim Scott to get people of different races to sit down and have a meal together, believing that the best way to change a heart is to get to know someone.
What role should the United States play in the world to build global peace and
security?
I believe America does play a role in maintaining global peace. America’s influence in the world starts with a strong National Defense and Military and our ability to project military strength in support of our allies and national interests. America also helps further the cause of peace and democracy by promoting democracy, free markets and human rights around the globe. Security is enhanced when we lead strategic cooperation with countries that share our values. World peace is further enhanced when America is economically strong, and that is achieved by protecting American industry and jobs from unfair trade policies. Additionally, America can help achieve and maintain peace by being a peacemaker at via negotiation and diplomacy.
What legislation and/or policies do you support that would help reduce healthcare
and prescription drug prices?
Reduce government intervention. Enhancing healthcare choice and competition in ways that embrace the value of the market while
focusing on patients’ needs. Put patients in control of their healthcare by ensuring price transparency and allowing Americans to pick the care that fits their needs.
The economy is widely reported to be strong, with unemployment rates at
historic lows, while the deficit is also growing. What economic policy changes or
legislation, if any, do you support?
We have to reduce the growth of government spending. Since 1960 United States has a five-fold increase in national government spending, establish seven new cabinet agencies, effect a steady expansion in programs and 80,000-plus pages of new regulations. Most of the personal growth has been done by adding some 12 million federal contractors to supplement what the nearly 3 million Federal Employees do not have capacity to handle.
