Washington Congressional Election 2012 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| The lives of 50 million citizens have been intentionally destroyed. Current citizen birthrates cannot sustain our nation. No one has the right to commit genocide one life at a time through 1984 doublespeak, e.g., "the right to choose." | |||
| No | Do you support United States' combat operations in Afghanistan? | ||
| No | Do you support a timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan? | ||
| Troop safety requires there be no timetable | |||
Indicate which proposals you support (if any) for balancing the federal budget.In order to balance the budget,
| No | do you support reducing defense spending? | ||
| No | do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | do you support reducing Medicaid spending? | ||
| No | do you support reducing Medicare spending? | ||
| Yes | Is balancing the budget a legislative priority? | ||
| The private Federal Reserve Bank personnel create cyber currency out of thin air at no cost. Federal employees then "buy" this worthless currency for its face value plus interest. This is our bogus national "debt." Then we labor to acquire wealth to give to the bank and federal employees under the ruse of taxes to pay the "debt." Slavery by any other name is still the same. Clearly, we can have minimal debt and massive prosperity by cutting out the middle men, as we have done several times in our nation's history, by issuing our own debt-free currency. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| There should be no campaign contributions, direct or indirect. We have enough free social media to enable all positions to be heard and debated. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| No | Do you support providing tax incentives to businesses for the purpose of job creation? | ||
| No | Do you support spending on infrastructure projects for the purpose of job creation? | ||
| No | Do you support the temporary extension of unemployment benefits? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the 2010 temporary extension of tax relief? | ||
| The above questions are moot when we return to debt-free and tax-free economy as set forth in my Economy and Foreign Trade planks. As a Congressman for all Americans, I will introduce or support legislation to create nonprofit, publicly owned, self-sustaining State banks that will make interest-free loans to individuals, businesses, county and local governments, and school districts. I will also work to require the Federal government to fund its operations and create our money supply with our own debt-free and tax-free currency instead of absurdly borrowing it -- a damnable practice used to harvest you as crops. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to implement education reforms in order to be eligible for competitive federal grants? | ||
| The authority to educate children rest with the parents. If the parents want their children educated in public schools, then they delegate that authority to school districts. Any delegation past the school district level results in the loss of individual sovereignty and the prospect of dumbed-down, politically indoctrinated children. Under my Economy and Education planks there will be no grants, because the citizens will retain most of their wealth. | |||
| No | Do you support reducing restrictions on offshore energy production? | ||
| A measure of our freedom is our access to energy and transportation. Those who try to restrict that freedom must never be politically or economically empowered. | |||
| No | Do you believe that human activity is contributing to climate change? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| "Environmentalism" has degenerated into a pretext to empower a class of sociopathic watermelons (green on the outside, red on the inside), who are unable to fit into a productive society. | |||
| No | Do you support restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns? | ||
| The purpose of the Second Amendment is to ensure your freedom from public and private tyrants by endorsing your God-given right to shoot them in self-defense. Logically, anyone trying to deny you this right is also a tyrant. I oppose them. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act? | ||
| No | Should individuals be required to purchase health insurance, as mandated in the 2010 Affordable Care Act? | ||
| This is a non-issue for the vast majority of citizens who enjoy the best health care and charity care in the world. The government's role in any reform should be minimal; this is a free market area. I have not known of anyone ever being denied basic medical care. The health care bill was largely drafted and coordinated by the SEIU and its communist leader Andrew Stern. The SEIU and ACORN were started and directed for thirty years by the communist Wade Rathke. Fidel Castro praised Obama on the bill's passage. This isn't about health care -- it's about control. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| No | Do you support allowing illegal immigrants, who were brought to the United States as minors, to pursue citizenship without returning to their country of origin? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the enforcement of federal immigration law by state and local police? | ||
| Obama criminally refuses to prevent the Mexican invasion of the States, and in fact aids and abets it, in clear violation of Art. IV, sec. 4 of our Constitution. This is blatant treason under 18 USC 2381, and he must be immediately arrested and jailed. The citizens of Arizona and many other states are rightfully defending themselves against the invaders and White House accomplices. We should allow free access to Mexico, but prevent access to the United States to all but bona fide and necessary guest workers until the invaders are removed. | |||
| No | Do you support same-sex marriage? | ||
| Homosexuality is an addiction, not an unalienable right. I've never known a homosexual who didn?t have a personality disorder. Homosexuality is a rare, intensely codependent sexual addiction that, like other addiction epidemics, has poisoned civilizations. It is the sine qua non of personal and national failure. Legislatively enshrining any addiction in marriage or the military is utter madness, or treachery. Humanity has an inherent Natural right of self-defense. That right has been defamed as a hate crime by addicts, Progressives seeking social destabilization, and RINOs craving power over principle. No one has the right to inflict addiction on our society. | |||
| Yes | Do you support targeting suspected terrorists outside of official theaters of conflict? | ||
| No | Should the U.S use military force in order to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon? | ||
| Iran acquired nuclear weapons years ago, and can acquire more whenever they want. Needlessly risking the lives of my brothers and sisters in the military to stop Iran from producing the weapons they already have would be absurd. | |||
| Yes | Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts? | ||
| Under my Economy plan there will be a stable money supply that will eliminate the need for Social Security and most taxes, allowing us all to return to the sound practice of savings accounts. | |||

| A money supply that we print for free, and regulate, to pay our interest-free and fairly valued costs of government operations under a tight budget can never cause debt or inflation if indexed to productivity. It will result in no taxation and enormous prosperity and freedom. That is my ultimate economic Congressional goal. Until then, we're just spinning our wheels and heading for the ditch. Fiscal and monetary conservatism are amoral and can be deadly without social conservatism. The administration of dictatorships, slavery, gulags, and genocide can be fiscally and monetarily conservative. Freedom is based on morality, not money. | |||
| The gravest threat to our national security in our history is from Obama and his kind who have infiltrated our Constitutional government under political pretenses, and are dismantling it to install a dictatorship. They must be immediately arrested and jailed by whatever means necessary for waging war against us. The next gravest threat to our national security are the owners and executives of the private Federal Reserve Bank, who, along with their government accomplices, destroy our productivity, technology, military, and wealth through fraudulent debt, interest, and taxes. They also must be immediately arrested and jailed. |
