A: To say that you do not believe in homosexuality is not to say that you hate the person who practices it. There are many homosexuals out there who would prefer to do what they do in private. But this homosexual movement is obtaining special rights for a particular group. You look at what is happening to the Boy Scouts. They have lived according to their oath, now they are under unrelenting attack, because even though the courts have ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts, leaders of the homosexual movement are encouraging corporations to withhold funding.
My own personal feeling is that homosexuality is biologically, physiologically, and psychologically damaging. In schools where there is talk of safe v. unsafe sex, some of the unsafe sex acts are acts that our children would never dream of indulging and which parents would definitely want their children introduced.
A: The problem is how you fight racism. Our country has come a long way in terms of [removing] policies that encourage racism. In terms of individuals that continue to promote racism, we have to change the hearts and the mind of the people. To do that, we must reject different groups and organizations who have a vested interest money wise to keep the flames of racism burning. We must recognize an individual’s rights and responsibilities.
A: We need to go back to our Constitution. There is no place in our Constitution where the federal government has authority to fund, influence or control education and so we would eliminate the US Department of Education and terminate funding and subsidies to ideological advocacy groups that use our tax dollars to advance their political, religious and cultural agendas. We believe that the control of schools should be in the hands of the parents and local communities.
A: I believe that businesses can take care of themselves and I believe there is too much government involvement in that. Businesses are out there to succeed and to succeed they need to take care of their communities. I think that we have enough wise Americans who can make those decisions. I am very concerned with the government dictating policy to our businesses and our families. I feel it’s time to trust the American people with our businesses and our families. We have so much government regulations that we have said goodbye to the mom and pop stores. It’s very hard for people to start their own businesses anymore. I think that with government regulations they stifle the creativeness and ambitions of our people.
A: We go back to our Constitution. We support the right to keep and bear arms which is guaranteed by the Constitution. The federal government is prohibited from infringing on that right in any way. I have more lady friends now that are carrying concealed weapons to protect themselves. The criminals will always have a means to perform their criminal acts. The Second Amendment is to protect citizens and to allow citizens to protect themselves.
A: We want to protect seniors who are already on Medicare as well as getting Social Security. We want to take a look at that entire system and we will decide the best means to helping the people in most need whether they are seniors or young families. There is a way to help people without causing dependency. We support portable and private affordable solutions. We would guarantee benefits already promised to seniors and we would stop the raid on the trust fund and we would encourage employees to devote part of their earnings to Social Security alone. We would work with Congress to secure the system while allowing workers to transition to individual retirement accounts.
A: I left the Democrats and GOP because they did not promote my strong beliefs
A: I’m in the race the win. Pat Buchanan and I are here to win the election so that we can represent the American people so that we can maintain a strong, free, independent America. A lot of people say we can’t win. We can win. What does it take to win but a vote. We’re told that we can’t win the electoral votes. Again, the people vote for us, we get the popular vote, we get the electoral vote. And then we’re told even if Pat Buchanan wins he won’t have the support of a Democrat and Republican Congress. To that I say, Congress is to be a watch dog for the American people not a lap dog for any president. So I am hoping the people will not let fear deter them from voting for their country, their family, and their future.
A: The John Birch Society is nothing more than a group of American citizens of every race, ethnicity, religion, political persuasion who all believe in one thing and that’s maintaining the sovereignty of America and they work towards that goal. I would encourage people to attend a local chapter meeting. Their chapters are open, there’s nothing secret about it and learn for themselves about the organization.

A: In terms of the tax relief, we would eliminate federal taxes on income, capital gains, gifts, inheritance. We would eliminate the Department of Education, OSHA, the EPA, and we would take a look at all the existing organizations that we feel is not serving a good purpose for the American people.
