Michigan Congressional Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I support pro-life legislation and was endorsed by Michigan Right to Life when I ran as a Republican. I do not support state or federal mandatory wearing of face masks; lock downs for schools; businesses, etc. We need less government in (& on) our face or in our lives. End the nanny state; along with the Deep State (Q); which killed President John F. Kennedy & his son, JFK Jr. & his wife. The Deep State also killed Malcom X; & tried to kill George Wallace & President Ronald Reagan. Remember Rhodesia. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| End the network of leftist tax exempt non profits/institutions & organizations & tax them. I love President Donald Trump; if you don't like Trump, then vote for Jo Jorgensen Liberian for President. Don't for the baby killing Dem. Creep slow, slugs Joe. He will shut down the American economy for an indefinite time and then send our American jobs to Red Communist China as he and Clinton did with NAFTA While the deep state actors and congress still collect their pay checks from the government. | |||
| No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| We need less, not more government in our lives. | |||
| No | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| ANTIF is a far left, radical Marxists, communist terrorism organization; they must be hunted down and put in jail at hard labor. We need to put an end to far left nonprofits which only serve the cultural elites, which are mostly support progressive reds and anti-white racist communists such as BLM which has a radical Marxist, anti-American agenda; supported by the deceitful race baiting left wing fake news and the baby killing Democratic party. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| Put an end to endless neocon wars; The last 'good' wars were the American Revolution & the War of 1812; We should not have been in World War I & II; LBJ lied to get us into Vietnam; Daddy Bush,Baby Bush & the Deep State (Q) gave us the Persian Gulf War; the Iraq War; & the endless war in Afghan War; Vote for President Trump or Libertarian Jo Jorgensen for President; Over one million American men & women have died in these wars. Creepy slugs Joe has worked for Communist China for millions of dollars for years | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| No | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| We could save billions of tax dollars by not sending them to big American cities as the majority of American's homicides are committed by "people of color", i.e. blacks & Hispanics, whose victims are also manly black on black & Hispanic; and this is mostly in cities run buy left wing baby killing Dems. Former President Obama was raised as a Muslim in Asia & was chummy with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakham known for hating Jews and being anti-White. Obama was born in East Africa; He was never a black American. He is a Red communist. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| Under the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, the Federal government needs to stay out of local education; Way too many Federal mandated left wing ideas are being pushing onto our local schools & K-12 students. and those universities that teach left wing communist ideas should not receive any Federal money. Zero Federal Tax dollars. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| the Green New Deal is part of a radical communist agenda to take down America. The statue of Andrew Young in Atlanta should be torn down as he was a hard core Communist, who along with President Carter, fostered the demise of Rhodesia; they helped turn that very well run country to the Reds who ended up killing over 50,000 black Rhodesian's. Project Veritas uses undercover videos to expose unethical practices within left-leaning organizations. End the Deep State and take a look at Qaon. Save America; Vote to either reelect Donald Trump or Jo Jorgensen Libertarian. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| I have been a member of the NRA since 1964; I am a Life & Endowment member. The Second Amendment is an Individual right under the US Constitution. I was endorsed by the NRA when I ran as a Republican with an A rating. The Second Amendment is not about Duck Hunting; its to take out left wing wacko's if they try and take over our country; I support our local police; Vote to reelect President Donald Trump or Libertain Jo Jorgensen for President if you want to preserve the Second Amendment. Don't vote for anti NRA Joe. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| Get the government out of our lives and out of our faces; Those who work or want to work for a living should live better then those who will not. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| BUILD THE WALL. We need to press President Trump to help millions of White South Africans get to the US; many are good farmers and our farmers are aging out; Over 40,000 whites have been killed since the black communists took over South Africa; and thousands of whites have been robbed and raped. Bring them to the US; and stop bringing those from crap whole countries to America. and greatly plus up the US Boarder Patrol; Also, stop sending billions of our tax dollars to South America where it is wasted; plus up our customs personnel. | |||
| No | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| No | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| NO more neocon wars; including wars for Israel which can take care of itself; Israel has around 500 nuck's with the means and will to use them. We need to stay out of Middle East Conflicts; As both a Vietnam War and a Iraq War Veteran and retired LTC, I am not anti-military; but I am anti-neocon war. | |||
| No | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| I support President Donald Trump and his agenda of putting American workers first; Unlike past presidents and Congress who put their interest and that of Communist China ahead of American workers. If you want to work with good wage and good health benefits, then vote to reelect Donald Trump; Don't like Trump, then vote Libertarian Jo Jorgensen Libertarian for President. | |||
| Over 23,000 American POW's held by the Germans in World War II were taken by the advancing Red army and never heard from again. Over 2,500 American service men - Korean War POW's ended up in Communist Russia; I would work to urge President Donald Trump to ask Russian President V. Putin to return their remains to the United States. **** I would also urge President Donald Trump to bring millions of White South Africans to the United States as the black South African communists don't want them and are killing them off. We need good immigrants who will work. |
