Candidate's Comments:
4. While I oppose prohibiting this, I would add that certain religious groups have beliefs that Americans should die and that the American Constitutional way of life should be replaced. Those groups violate constitutional protections as being "enemies both foreign and domestic" and seek to undermine our laws, our Constitution, our Principals, and the very people sworn to protect Americans. Those institutions should have their licenses or certifications revoked as they engage in acts of terrorism. 5. Absolutely support - unless that "religious group" engages in illegal acts of lawlessness or of terrorism of US Citizens or seeks to overthrow our Constitutional Republic. 6. If those 'religious groups' are found receiving financial support to engage in acts of terrorism or lawlessness that undermine our laws, peace, domestic tranquility, and engage in convicted acts of terrorism, that religious group should then be reclassified as a "hate group" and have their ability for financial support terminated.

7. Many platforms already do this including Instagram and TikTok. With the advancement of Ai, platforms should become more responsible for validating and managing the person/s creating accounts and deletion of accounts not validated. The responsibility lies with the end-user program provider. 8. Parents, not Government, of minor children under 18 should decide if counseling is necessary for their children, regardless of the reason. This is a Parental Matter and the sanctity of the Family Unit and decisions thereof should be acknowledged and respected by Government. 9. Parents, not Government, of minor children under 18 have the authority and parental responsibility of their minor children. The sanctity of the Family Unit and decisions thereof should be acknowledged and respected by all forms of any Government Agency or Public School thereof.

9. I would never mandate a child attend a school or school system that threatens a child's religious beliefs, moral beliefs, or their scholastic attainment. If a school or school system employs teachers or staff who are sexual predators or that espouse beliefs that encourage promiscuous sexuality, I would support defunding those schools immediately. School choice should be an informed decision with a child's parent and the child. Funding for those educational institutions should correspond with vouchers for that education WITH accountability that the children are educated to at least the same set of standards of similar government funded institutions. School Choice forces accountability to Public Schools as competition and competition should, by it's nature, increase concern of school administrators and faculty to be at their best or face budget shortfall and closure. 10. Pronouns have become forced communication style by an individual, in most cases, does not accept the biological sex and corresponding anatomy of the individual. I am for Protections of Teachers and Students being forced to use those pronouns given by the individual, by governmental institutions AS THIS policy applies unnecessary burdens upon the communicator to the individual and confuses grammar and language. A better enforcement for these individuals would be a decided improper use of any pronoun and, instead, the use of the persons requested name as a substitution. Again, this is a retardation of grammar and language but it keeps the argument between communicator and individual mute. (eg: "Pat took Pat's seat in the classroom of Pat's peers." - a ridiculous example but non-threatening and non-triggering nonetheless) 11. Parents should ALWAYS be the first and ONLY initial and subsequent report for their minor children's health information and should ALWAYS be confidential unless a convicted act of lawlessness or terrorism is discovered. 12. COMPLETELY AGREE! Schools and School Administrators are FIRST responsible to the parents paying their salaries though taxation.

Candidate's Comments:
1. With the flash, the spark, scientifically recorded on camera at conception, life begins. 2. Taxpayer dollars NEVER be used to assist in life termination on behalf of those who cannot afford it. The same conveys with sex-changes and vanity body alterations. 3. Doctors make life decisions every day on behalf of their Patients. Morphine with nutrition starvation are currently given "under the radar" of physician-assisted suicide, to make a patient feel/experience a comfortable transition to death as we are instructed as family members. For a government to create a law that "allows" for physician-assisted suicide creates legal entry points euthanasia and opens doors for ambiguity about who decides who lives and who dies outside of the Physicians who care for them. Ultimately, I am against allowing voluntary physician-assisted suicide and all forms of suicide. We did not have a choice to whom and where we were born and we should not have a choice of where and when we die.
