2013 Survey Response:

A CONSISTENT ETHIC OF LIFE IN PUBLIC POLICY
1.  A consistent ethic of life (see herehere and here) focuses on the major life issues of abortion, euthanasia, persistent poverty, unjust war, capital punishment, the use of nuclear arms, violence, racism and exploitation.  While these are nationally debated issues, there are community manifestations of these that local governments can address.  Will you as a regional government official do all in your power and authority to implement public policies and facilitate community action that further a consistent respect for all human life?

I will do my level best to implement the two major items that are very important to the people of our county.  Follow the lawful Constitutions both United States of America and the State of Washington and the right to be able to put Initiatives’ on the ballot to overturn the unconstitutional policies of some future Commissioners.

ABORTION
2. Even dedicated proponents of abortion acknowledge that life begins at conception.  What do you believe?  Does a unique human life begins at conception? 

My personal opinion is that life begins at conception. 


3. The 14th Amendment states "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade, 1973, stated that "if this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."  The Court regrettably concluded though that "we need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."   Do you believe that the right to life of the unborn child is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment?  

Yes


4.  Is taking the life of a pre-born child through abortion ever permissible?  Check all that apply:

_____ No, it's never permissible

__X___ Yes, to save mother's life

_____ Yes, in cases of rape or incest

_____ Yes, for physical deformity

_____  Yes, for genetic predispositions

_____  Yes, for gender

_____  Yes, for race

_____   Yes, for economic hardship

_____  Yes, to punish spouse

_____  Yes, it's always permissible

5. Do you support parental notification and/or consent before a minor (under 18 years of age) could have an abortion? A judicial bypass of parents would be allowed when necessary.  A 2013 poll commissioned by Human Life WA, found Washington State voters are widely supportive of laws requiring "parental involvement" in abortion decisions for girls under the age of 18 (62-29% with just under 10% undecided).  Read a summary of the results here.  Do you support:

Notification?  Yes

Consent?    Yes

 

CONTRIBUTIONS OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
6.
 "Religious communities are the largest and best-organized civil institutions in the world, claiming the allegiance of billions across race, class, and national divides. These communities have particular cultural understandings, infrastructures, and resources to get help where it is needed most" (World Conference of Religions for Peace).  Southwest Washington has a broad range of religious communities that contribute substantially to the welfare of families, children, seniors, the homeless, sick, and refugees.  They are a highly valued part of our community which respects and defends human life at every stage.  Are you an active member in a church, synagogue, temple, mosque or other religious assembly? 

Yes, I frequent many churches to see how much the government dictates the teachings of the Churches.  I am disappointed that most churches are now corporations and are told by the government what they can and cannot preach.  I believe that this is tantamount to a government based religion.  People have to understand that Corporations were put into place to control business, churches, governments agencies etc.  The authority that an organization incorporates under must follow the dictates of the organization allowing the corporation.  Therefore, the government owns part of the business when the business, church, government agency etc incorporates under them.

If so, you may state here where at: 
 

FAITH-BASED AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS
7.
 The White House's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships ensures that religious and other community organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for participation in Federal programs without impairing the character of such organizations and without diminishing the religious freedom of those served.  Does the collaboration of government with faith-based charitable works lawfully ensure fair treatment of religious organizations, and is it good for our communities? 

No, the church’s should never partnership with government.  Faith based charitable work is just that, it should never look to government for partnership or guidance.  God will tell us what good works need to be done in his name, not the government.  Partnerships with The government will remove the church’s good motives and replace with governments dictates, policies and procedures.
 

QUALIFICATIONS
8. Please state your professional experience, community involvement, education and other qualifications for a port commission or other position. 

Since I am running for freeholder, I should probably say that I am trying to get the government back into the hands of the people.  Government serves at the pleasure of the people.  But, the people need to understand that they lost control in 1861 when Lincoln declared Martial law.  The United States of America ceased to exist.  Everything after that was run by a Federal corporation called the UNITED STATES.  That can be proved in UCC title 28, Section 3002 line 15.  The UNITED STATES is defined as a federal Corporation.  Therefore all kinds of unconstitutional laws were introduced.  If you would like to study my answer and the truth of what I have said, please see:  www.sovereignproject.com and look at sovereignty lost.  You will find that I have been studying the state of our state for a very long time and am educating many people on how to get our constitutional rights back.  This includes what your organization stands for.
