It does not matter who I am, but rather what God is doing. “Shall the axe boast over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?” (Isaiah 10:15) I am here to put an axe to the root of child sacrifice and to end the egregious unconstitutional mandates we have seen over the past couple of years. May the Lord wield me as He sees fit.
I will not rely on my own craftiness, pragmatism, or cunning. I will not cut deals that fall short of the Word of God because “it’s the best we can get”. I will not back down to defend our God-given rights or the rights of our pre-born children. I will stand on God’s foundation, nothing more and nothing less. The results are up to God, but the duty is ours.
I have been saved out of sin on the path to destruction, but Jesus granted me repentance and restored my life. As such, I owe him everything. I have counted the cost and stand unashamedly on the Gospel to face down the tyrants of the establishment and to seek justice for the pre-born. We must have all of Christ for all of life, which certainly includes the North Carolina Senate.
- Abolish Abortion: The murder of children in the womb is the leading cause of death in our state. We need equal protection for all ages under the law.
- Medical Freedom and Privacy: We cannot allow for a medical apartheid through vaccine passports and mandates. Medical freedom is a basic human right.
- Constitutional Concealed Carry: We should not have to purchase our God-given rights back. Twenty states now have permit-less concealed carry, North Carolina should be one of them.
1. Outlaws Abortion from Fertilization: Children are human beings before they have heartbeats and before implantation, therefore cannot be abandoned. Children must be protected at all ages.
2. No Exceptions: Children of rape and incest are humans who deserve protection. Disabled children deserve protection. God loves these children and we cannot withhold protection for them because they are disabled or because of the sins of their father.
3. Criminalizes Abortion as Murder: The pro-life community likes to say that "abortion is not healthcare", yet all pro-life laws are written under the health code. Abortion is murder and the criminal code must be amended. All murder charges must be tried through the courts, with all constitutional protections in place just as it would if the victim was a born child.
4. Defy Roe: They may be the supreme court but they are not the supreme being. We must obey God rather than men by not submitting to the ruling of 9 lifetime lawyers who say we must kill our children.
