We must do all we can to defend our rights unalienable freedoms and liberties as enjoyed equal by all, free from ideological imposition or disparities of tyranny, and peer pressure by any opinion of the majority.

Candidate's Comments:
We need to affirm and hold strongly to the truths that are based in the natural order of our own innate experience as created equal. We see that we are male and female from the foundation of reproductive truths in concurrency with all of nature. Therefore every ideology that militates against this truth is counter productive to Life, and liberty in the pursuit of happiness. Many people recover from ideological disparities through strong affirmations of truths that can be relied upon in accord with the witness of their own natural endowments.

Just as every human being is created equal from the moment of conception and implantation in every mother's womb. The parents are given express and self-evident endowment to raise their children in the same truths and over see their proper education in healthy, good and strong defense.

Candidate's Comments:
I believe in one God, who creates us equal through reproductive truth as self-evident in science and biology. Therefore we must do everything possible to encourage voluntary and governmental defense of our unborn posterity, to promote the welfare of our natural born citizens. The elderly may be relieved of pain and discomfort while leaving room for intervention by the miraculous God who created them. They need not be dispatched because we don't have the medical answer of solution or capacity to ensure a full recovery. A prohibition against elective abortions for any other cause than rape or incest and medical issue, is necessary to bring the proper level of concern and respect in the choice of all women before they become pregnant, while honoring the life and body as we are all endowed in nature by the same creator.
