[ ] Yes, I would support such laws.
[ X ] No, I would not support such laws.
[ ] I Don't know.
25. On June 26, 2002 the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco, California issued a
ruling that it is "unconstitutional" to recite
the Pledge of Allegiance with the word God in
schools with the word God in public
gatherings, because it violates the myth of
separation of church and state. What is your
position concerning this decision?
[ X ] Yes, I believe that the decision was correct.
[ ] No, I believe that the decision was wrong.
[ ] I Don't know.
26. On May 28, 2002 the Cypress City Council in
California with the Board of Directors of the
Cypress Redevelopment agency voted to condemn
the land purchased for the construction of a
new Church building by Cottonwood Christian
Center. The city intended to give
Cottonwood's property to Costco, or a
developer that builds a tax-generating
facility. Do you support the decision made by
Cypress City governmental bodies to take the
Church's property by Eminent Domain?

[ X ] No, I believe that the decision was wrong.
[ ] I Don't know.

the ability to regulate adult oriented
establishments within its jurisdiction?
[ ] Yes, I do.
[ X ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.
28. There have been efforts in various states to
allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's
licenses. The proponents of such moves
communicate that providing driver's licenses
for illegal aliens will make our streets and
highways safer. Opponents believe it will not.
Do you believe that illegal aliens ought to be
able to obtain driver's licenses?
[ ] Yes, I do.
[ ] No, I do not.
[ X ] I Don't know.
29. Recently there has been renewed debate about
teaching creation as well as evolution in
public schools.
A spokesman for Vice President Al Gore in
August 1999 announced that the vice president
"favors the teaching of evolution in the
public schools," adding the decision should be
local and "localities should be free to teach
creationism as well."
President Clinton through his spokesman, Joe
Lockhart said: "I think the president believes
the curriculum is by law and by all common
practice left to local school boards," White
House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart said. "I
think the president believes, that the local
school boards, though, are bound by the law
of the land and the Supreme Court has
spoken very clearly on this issue."
Do you believe that the Local Board of Education or the
State Board of Education should have the right to allow
the teaching of creationism and evolution on an equal
basis?
[ X ] Yes, I do.
[ ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.
30. On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the
USA Patriot Act (USAPA) into law after its
passage through the Congress of the United
States of America. There has been some debate
since then that the provisions allowing for
surveillance on Americans went too far in the
passage of USAPA. Which one of the following
most correctly describes your philosophy?:
[ ] In time of war, I believe that the government of
the United States should be given whatever power
they need to combat terrorism even if there are
challenges to the Bill of Rights in the
Constitution.
[ X ] I believe that the founding fathers of the United
States put in checks and balances into our
government such as the Constitution and especially
the first ten amendments also called "The Bill of
Rights," and those should not be eliminated.
31. Since September 11, 2001 there has been a
great deal of discussion in both the U.S.A.,
and in Middle Eastern Arab Muslim Countries,
about whether Israel has a right to exist as a
country. There are many in those countries
that believe that Israel does not have a right
to exist.
[ ] I believe that Israel has a right to exist as a
Country and it is duty of the U.S.A. to enforce
it's right to exist, as the U.S.A. has already
committed to do by a defense treaty.
[ ] I do not believe that Israel has a right to exist,
and I will work to end the United States
commitment of enforcing Israel's right to exist.
[ X ] I Don't know. (Actually, I do know what I believe but you
don't give us
a choice to state our own views: I believe that people have a right
to exist,
and people existing as nations have a duty to co-exist peacefully
with other
nations. I support the right of people to identify themselves as
citizens of
Israel. I do not support American financial or military aid of
Israel.)
32. On February 4, 2004, President George W. Bush
made the following Statement on Massachusetts'
Court Ruling. "Today's ruling of the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is deeply
troubling. Marriage is a sacred institution
between a man and a woman. If activist judges
insist on re-defining marriage by court order,
the only alternative will be the constitutional
process. We must do what is legally necessary
to defend the sanctity of marriage."
[ ] I believe that Marriage is a sacred institution
between a man and a woman. I understand that
making changes to the U.S. Constitution is a
serious undertaking and should not be taken
lightly. I also understand that this answer does
not differ to my answer to your question 06.
However, I would support a U.S. Constitutional
Amendment that defends marriage as only between a
man and a woman.
[ X ] I believe that Marriage is a sacred institution
but is not restricted to just between a man and a
woman. I would not support a Constitutional
Amendment that defends marriage as only between a
man and a woman. (Just for the record, I do not believe
marriage is a
sacred institution.)
[ ] I Don't know.
33. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S.
Constitution, drafted in 1787, says that only
natural-born Americans at least 35 years old
who have lived in the country for 14 years can
serve as President or Vice President.
There is bi-partisan support for a
Constitutional Amendment to change that
requirement. Including, but not limited to
California's Republican Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Michigan's Democrat
Governor Jennifer Granholm, both of whom were
born outside of the U.S.A.
Would you support a Constitutional Amendment
making it possible for non natural born
citizens of the United States to be eligible
for the country's highest office, the
Presidency of the U.S.A.?
[ X ] Yes, I would.
[ ] No, I would not.
[ ] I Don't know.
34. There has been a great deal of discussion that
the U.S.A. should join the International
Criminal Court also known as the ICC. The
ICC's decisions would be binding on U.S.
Citizens. Would you support the U.S.A. joining
the ICC?
[ ] Yes, I would.
[ X ] No, I would not.
[ ] I Don't know.
35. On June 1, 2004, Los Angeles County,
California, the most populated county in the
U.S.A., with almost ten million (10,000,000)
residents, or more population than the entire
population of forty two (42) states voted to
remove the little cross from their county
seal. This was a three (3) to two (2)
decision to negotiate with the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) over its threat to sue
unless a small cross is removed from the
county seal, rather than to fight the
threatened lawsuit.
Zev Yaroslavsky one of the three (3) voting
for removal said: "I don't personally believe
that any religious symbol on any government
seal is appropriate."
Do you believe that Christian religious
symbols and names should be removed from city,
county, state, federal government entities in
the U.S.A.?
[ X ] Yes, I do.
[ ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.
36. There have been attempts by several cities,
such as San Francisco, California and
Washington, DC to have noncitizens, including
illegal aliens, to vote in school board
elections. The California state constitution
requires that a voter be a U.S. citizen, to be
eligible to vote. Do you believe that
noncitizens, including illegal aliens ought to
be given the right to vote?
[ ] Yes, I do.
[ X ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.
37. There have been several attempts in the last
twenty five (25) years to provide illegal
immigrants with amnesty. During the 2004
election year, both President George W. Bush
and Senator John Kerry support giving illegal
immigrants amnesty. Do you support giving
illegal immigrants amnesty?
[ X ] Yes, I do.
[ ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.

to disagree" on are:
(Any issue. The issue isn't as important as the character of
the
candidate. I can agree to disagree and endorse any candidate of
integrity and honor.)
[ ] Except for Question #01 (Why are you running for
this office?), I could not "agree to disagree"
with anyone regarding any of the answers to the
above questions for the purpose of endorsing them
or appointing them.
39. Which one of the following most correctly
describes your philosophy?:
