| Collapse all
Beyond being deeply loyal to my new country, I am able to grasp difference between the Constitution vs communist agenda. I support border security to protect the wellbeing of Arizonans. I am also in tune to their concerns that are foremost in their mind such as their civil rights as defined by the Constitution, taxes, water shortage, election integrity, etc.
- I assert that the Constitution of the State of Arizona is the supreme law of Arizona and I will adhere to it to promote and defend Arizonans' rights as described therein.
- I assert that the Governor has no authority to impose any mandates on the people of Arizona to interfere with their freedom of movement, their freedom to conduct business or commerce, or limit their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
- I assert that taxation can only be enacted to serve the common good of the people, not to serve the special interest, therefore any unjustified taxation must be repealed or struck down and any spending must disclosed and audited.
I believe life begins at conception and must be respected. I believe even in the case of rape or incest, the criminal should be punished, not the child who is the product of conception.
I believe the right to self defense shall not be infringed.
I believe the government has no jurisdiction over the activities of religious establishments.
I believe the Federal Government has no jurisdiction over the State of Arizona except for what has been granted it for the purpose of facilitating interstate commerce and the defense of the border against foreign invasions, and when the Federal Government fails to perform its duties, the State has the authority to step in to complete the task without interference.
I believe water resource is very important for the success of the State of Arizona, and all avenues must be investigated to preserve and increase this resource.
