If yes, please explain: NoneQuestions Answers Why are you running for this office? Is there a particular issue that motivates you, and if so, what is that?I am running for Congress because I am sick of seeing this country in such a bad shape, economically and socially. In the spirit of the liberty, I aim to serve the American people and their interest, not political party bosses or multinational globalist corporations, equal protection under the law - not favoritism, lower taxes, term limits, enforcing our immigration laws to further guard our borders and fighting to maintain the constitutional values that made this country great!What differentiates you most from your opponents in the race?I don't believe God has cursed us with Autism and Dementia because of LGBT Rights and AbortionsDo you support moving ahead with the Affordable Care Act? Why or why not? Which parts of the law, if any, would you change?Repeal Obamacare ENTIRELY. Allow the funding to go towards CARE clinics and implement Insurance across state linesWhat specifically would you do to end gridlock and partisan infighting in the U.S. House and promote cooperative problem-solving?One person cannot end the infighting alone. That is up the voters to send Constitutional minded individuals to represent their will.What should the U.S. House do, and what specifically will you do, to avoid another government shutdown?Stop raising the debt ceiling.Do you favor measures included in Senate Bill 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013? Specifically, which segments do you support, if any, and which segments do you oppose, if any? Are there other proposals related to immigration that you support or oppose?I am against illegal immigration and feels that the number one priority is to secure the U.S. borders with U.S. Military presences. However, I do believe in giving immigrants who contribute through their labor a path to legalization by means of a work visa program and being able to maintain financial stability before bringing their family into the U.S, acquiring higher education through the means of a study visa, or voluntary U.S Military service. The illegal's who do not contribute will be cut off from welfare and deported. Illegal immigration is costing the government billions of dollars, so by maintaining a reasonable immigration policy, we can both improve our economy while decreasing debt.On what issues would you break with your party, or have you broken with your party, and why?Depends if it's unconstitutional such as bailing out loser corporations for their bad business practices- while hardworking Americans lose their jobs in the process.Should federal spending cuts known as the sequester be continued in their current form? Why or why not? Where specifically would you cut the federal budget, if any? What areas, if any, would you exempt from cuts?If it going to raise the debt ceiling further, NO!How would you vote on cutting Social Security and/or Medicare?I wouldn't cut Social Security or Medicare. I would allow a Personalization option to give Americans more control over their retirement savings.Finally, is there anything we haven't asked about that you feel we should know?I love cats, summer weather, Video game music and rain.
