Candidate Questions:
1. In what ways would your religious beliefs influence your public
actions as an elected official? I believe strongly in the separation
of church and state. However I look to the bible and particularly the
first psalm as a guide to most issues.
2. Nearly 38 million Americans live below the federal poverty line,
according to the 2007 Census Bureau survey. For a family of four that
is an annual income of $20,614. If elected, what concrete steps will
you take to reduce poverty? Stop the government from paying interest
and eliminate the income tax. This will free up money that is now
earning interest so there will be more money to invest in enterprises
that will create better paying jobs.


3. Do you support Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision
that resulted in legalized abortion? How would you approach the
abortion issue if elected? I believe strongly in the right to life and
life begins at conception, it is a scientific fact 23 chromosomes from
each contributor makes the 46 in a person, but stands up for the
mothers right to do as she chooses with that that is hers. God is the
judge. Not the government and the government is not the solution and
it should endeavor to not be part of the problem. For guidance on this
issue I look to the first Psalm (stand not in the way of sinners). We
must protect the separation of church and state. When government takes
a position between the people and the laws of God, government is
diminishing God. Our enemies say convert or your dead our government
should not say break Gods law and you go to jail. The government
attempts to replace God in my opinion is a plot to lead us to
Pantheism.


4. The number of Americans without health insurance now stands at a
record 46.6 million, according to the latest figures from the U.S.
Census Bureau. What should be done about this growing problem?
"Universal Health Care" sounds good! I am all for it. How about
"Universal Good Health"? Heath foods, organic versus chemical treated
food. Prevention health education are the solutions that needs to be
sought with vigor. What I do not want is a fund endowed by taxes that
only a few can draw on and that people other than the doctor and the
patient decide the treatment. Let us begin with the Veterans I
propose to staff all V. A. hospitals with nutritionist, herbalist and
other types of alternative treatments specialists. I am leaning to a
solution something like this. Create clinics based on the model used
to build public television some government money to start and charity
to keep them going.


5. Do you support embryonic stem cell research even though human
embryos are destroyed in the process? Absolutely not if said stem
cells were created for research with intent to kill them.


6. It's estimated that there are more than 12 million undocumented
migrants in the United States. What steps would you support to address
this situation? The United States can not send millions of Mexicans
back home. It is a logistic problem that the economy could not handle.
The real estate market would be devastated. People can not buy a new
house if some one does not buy or rent their old house. We need their
labor, etc. The guest worker program that Kennedy and McCain sponsored
was the best start I have seen so far. The fences are not the solution
they are just more US debt. Our border patrol are being pelted with
bricks now, it will IEDs in the future, if we keep the fence them out
mentality that prevails in Congress.


7. Do you believe same-sex couples should have the right to legally
marry? What policies would you support on this issue? I do not believe
that the government should license marriage that is the churches
business. It is a matter of separation of church and state with me and
the government has no business in this issue period.


8. There has been a lot of attention placed on the harmful effects of
fossil fuels on environment lately. What steps, if any, would you
support to encourage clean energy and reduce U.S. dependency on oil?
Develop and expand alternative energies. Solar, wind, clean coal to
oil, clean shale oil, bio fuels, hydrogen, nuclear, hydro electric,
and energy from the tides - surely there is a spot in Alaska perfect
for generating enormous amounts of electricity with out one molecule
of carbon to the environment.


9. Please explain your view on the death penalty. I am against the
death penalty.


10. Our closest neighboring state, Washington, will vote in November
on a citizen's initiative to legalize assisted suicide. If the
proposal passes, Washington would be the second state to legalize
assisted suicide. Would you support a similar move in Alaska? Why or
why not? Absolutely not because it is murder and the bible say's "
Thou salt not kill"


11. For too many people, work puts added pressure on family life,
rather than strengthening it. How can economic policies enhance –
rather than diminish – family life? Less time on the job earning money
to pay the bills equals more time with the family.
