1) Do you believe that the Second Amendment confirms the individual right
of every American citizen to possess and use (update of keep and bear) militia/military
weapons for individual self-defense, as well as for the defense of the State
/ National defense?
Yes. This right is also protected by the 9th Amendment.
10 Points
2) If elected would you support legislation for the removal of firearm laws
and regulations? If your answer is yes, and if you are elected, what specific
legislation would you propose/support to ensure that this individual right
is protected? Which current laws which infringe upon this individual right
would you seek to repeal?
If elected Governor, I will support any proposed repeal of a infringement
on this right. I will call for legislation forbidding cities and counties
from suing firearms manufacturers for simply conducting their trade.
10 Points

4) Would you support the banning of some firearms or ammunition? (IE:
Saturday night specials, "assault weapons", Hollow points, and "Safety Slugs")
Why and to what extent?
Not among private citizens. I believe Government agencies should be forbidden
from the possession and/or use of certain weapons.
10 Points
5) Do you believe that firearms and/or firearm owners should be registered?
Which ones and why?
I oppose any governmental registration program.
10 Points
6) Do you support equal rights for all citizens of the United States
regardless of the person's sexuality / orientation and / or gender identity/expression?
Yes. Equality of rights is, and must be treated as, an absolute.
10 Points
7) Which of the following would you be willing to support in regards
to same-gender and/or polyamorous marriages and/or civil unions?
Check as many as apply:
[ ] Domestic partnerships for same-sex couples
[ ] Domestic partnerships for opposite-sex couples
[ ] Domestic partnerships for polyamorous (more than
two consenting adults)
[ ] Same-sex marriages
[ ] Opposite sex marriages (What we have now)
[ ] Polyamarous marriages (between more than two consenting
adults)
[ ] All of the above. Everyone should have equal rights
under the law.
[x] None of the above. Government
has no role in defining a marriage. Leave it to the church.
[ ] Other__________________________________________________

8) Do you support the right for people to act as they wish in a private
setting, with other consenting adults?
Yes. This right is protected by the 4th and 9th Amendments.
10 Points
9) In July 2000 the Police Dept. of Attleboro Massachusetts entered a
private party without a search warrant. The party was not open to the public
or in the business to make a profit. Any donations given were used to pay
rent. When the police entered, they arrested two people. The first person
who was arrested organized the event. The second person arrested was arrested
because she spanked her consenting adult partner with a wooden spoon. Do
you support the actions of the Attleboro police as given in this example?
Why?
I do not condone their actions at all.
10 Points
10) Do you support equal immigration rights for partners of US residents,
regardless of their sexuality / orientation and / or gender
identity/expression?
I support open immigration, regardless of any of the above criteria.
10 Points
Do you have an additional statement to make that is not covered by this
questionnaire? Use as much space as you wish.
Both "major" political parties have shown a willingness to either infringe
upon, or acquiesce in the infringement of, both the right to keep and bear
arms and the right to pick one's own consenting adult sexual partner(s) and
one's consenting-adult sexuality. The only way to preserve those rights
is to support Libertarian candidates. The FIRST line of defense for the
SECOND Amendment is America's THIRD party - the Libertarian Party.
