Since we are meeting pretty much for the first time Major, what are the 3 most important facts about you my fans and I should know?
I am pro-life
I support our rights to bear arms
I believe God should remain in the United States Constitution
What is the most important issue that needs to be immediately addressed for the people of the 30th congressional district?
Unemployment.
What are the experiences that you had while a Major in the Air Force that prepared you to take on Washington bureaucracy and gridlock?
The Department of Defense is an organization in which the Services and Agencies are capable of coordinating effectively together. I was last assigned to the Pentagon in Washington D.C., where bureaucracy does exist, but I have also been assigned to the operational levels where gridlock is not an option. The important thing to understand is the mission must continue. I don’t believe that is any different on Capitol Hill. Though politicians may disagree, they must ultimately continue to effectively serve constituents.
Would you now be able to go against the president on his decisions, since you served for so long and were trained to?
Though the President is the Commander in Chief, military members are not coerced into agreeing with policies outside of military service. If elected to serve in the United States Congress and if there is an issue in which we have a difference of opinion, it would be my duty to voice my concerns just as it is the President’s duty to do the same.
What is the worst part of running for congress?
The worst part is asking for campaign donations in the midst of an economic crisis.
How difficult is it to attract African Americans to the Republican party?
I think the real question is “how difficult is it to show African Americans that for the most part their conservative values are more in-line with the current Republican Party than they are with the Democratic Party?” Most people assume their elected counterparts possess similar values or make exceptions for variances because they have no intention of changing their political party.
What is you stance on our ever increasing debt?
We need to address our ever increasing debt immediately. I believe government spending is and has been the problem.
What is your stance on Socialized healthcare?
Extreme socialism has failed in numerous societies. The United States continually discusses revitalization and reform of its major socialized programs Social Security, and Medicare. I think socialized healthcare would be an additional burden to the American public.
Should we continue to have a Federal reserve?
We should continue to have a transparent Federal Reserve unless we are able to come up with a viable option.
Where do you see America in the next four years?
That depends on who wins the election November 2012. I see light on the Horizon if Romney is elected. If he is not elected I predict an increase in debt.
