Recent studies have linked abortion to Breast Cancer, as I have seen and heard on cable broadcasting, this needs to be explored further, I do find examples where there are reasons for abortion and support the act for those specified cases, I do not wish to see federal dollars spent for abortions with so many against the practice today. |

We as Americans need to reinvest our time in old legislation like Medicare and Medicaid, we have created new legislation to help the people, but it only works if the old legislation is in place, this causes us to spend more money, this is not responsible spending, if new legislation is introduced it should not exceed the funding of the prior legislation, and it should replace older legislation. |

It has come to my attention the Native American reservations are under funded, that the schools are below the level of financial reason, and the law enforcement authorities have a difficult time responding for crimes to such a large area as they are understaffed. I have also been made aware of our border security is still lacking in human resources, we need a greater attention to secure the area between U.S. and Mexico. I do have an open mind to those questions unanswered. |

|
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? |
| Other or expanded principles | |
The Affordable care act is a bankrupt system, the act was very poorly written, and I feel it is unconstitutional, we have to attack the rising cost of health-care as many times as necessary to aid Americans, the real issue is to tackle health care costs, we cannot just socialize health-care and say it's finished, this was irresponsible government that shows no one was actually doing their job except Republicans on Capitol Hill. |

| Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding. | |
I would use my effort in the challenging debt ceiling problem, and re-balance what we should do from what we can not afford not to do. I would make education a priority, we need to cut the fat back from our Medicare and Medicaid to see where money could be allocated, to help those battling to repay student loans, and make college more affordable, and bring our public schools into a better light. Another priority would be to tackle the immigration problems facing our nation. |
