Collapse all
|I am an American citizen with decades of real-world workforce experience, who instead of accepting the deplorable abuses coming from government, seeks to jump into the proverbial "Lions' Den" and contribute to changing the situation, rather than watch things deteriorate, powerless to elicit change.As an advocate of preserving our Constitutionally protected rights as Americans, you could say that I'm a Civil Rights Activist, promoting and defending our civil rights which are so clearly articulated in The U.S. Constitution.
- 1st AMENDMENT: Lately, the assault on our First Amendment right to free speech, by so-called "Big Tech", mainly social media, is unacceptable and will be met by my resistance until there is some kind of legislative action to restore this right. Another issue regarding the First Amendment is how the power hungry in Lansing and D.C. violated our First Amendment right to peaceably assemble to celebrate, rally, or protest our grievances, and our right to the free exercise of assembling for religious expression during the Covid-19 debacle. I will be proactive regarding legislation that will prevent dictators from censoring free speech and imposing penalties for public assembly and for hosting and participating in religious gatherings.
- 2nd AMENDMENT: I will be persistent, pragmatic and unrelenting in protecting, preserving and respecting our Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms. I am a nearly life-long gun owner and Second Amendment rights advocate. Communities are safer where the citizens' constitutional rights to preserve and protect their property and being are defended by those who are entrusted to properly govern. "The Constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." –Samuel Adams The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not at all hard to understand and interpret: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, (and) the r
- 5th & 14th AMENDMENT: Medical Privacy = Medical Freedom. Medical Privacy and thus medical freedom are also issues which I will champion, as the Right to Privacy is clearly enumerated in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of our Constitution and thus entail our right to medical freedom. This Constitutionally protected privacy would therefore definitely prevent any regime such as the CDC, the WHO and even our own Federal and State governments from "mandating" the administration of any drug, vaccination, operation or procedure. I will initiate, author, support and vote for any and all legislation introduced which will outlaw any intrusion into our medical privacy, which is confidential and reserved only for us citizens and our chos
From the moment of conception, each person is assigned a unique DNA. Along with that DNA, dignity is assigned to each individual, and our founders echoed this in the Declaration of Independence when they stated that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (mankind)- are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Family background, nationality or ethnicity do not determine dignity. Dignity is for all, is non-negotiable and shall not be infringed by any government or medical entity. You are exactly who you were meant to be. You are special and unique. I will support and implement state legislation and citizen initiatives that will uphold and protect the life of unborn children and the legislation central to that protection, which will serve as a safeguard and proponent of protecting precious human life.
