There are too many Americans that believe the 2020 election was fraudulently manipulated and thus stolen; this should be absolutely unacceptable to both Democrats & Republicans alike. There are two questions that we must continuously answer after each election; was it secure and what does the public perceive about it being secure? </p><p>In order to secure our process and restore public trust we must consider the following.</p><ul><li>Stop the push to federalize elections and hold all involved to the letter of the constitution</li><li>Require voter ID because any argument with regard to voter suppression is baseless and only serves as a political talking point by radicals and our media.</li><li>If it is a computer with software or is connected to the internet, it can be hacked with the right motivation. Therefore I am a big fan of paper ballots.</li></ul></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div id="ultimate-heading-476963027e8160a4b" class="uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-476963027e8160a4b uvc-8882"><div class="uvc-main-heading ult-responsive"><h2>Secure Our Border</h2></div><div class="uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive"><p>One of the enumerated powers of the federal government is to regulate our immigration procedures. Our porous border has become the number one problem with immigration currently. We cannot have meaningful conversation about immigration reform until the wall is finished and our border closed. Furthermore, we have immigration laws that our current administration is instructing agencies to ignore; that is absolutely unacceptable. We are a country of law and order and immigration law is no exception to this rule!</p><p>We all have to also remember that we are a nation made up of immigrants. Legal immigration is a beautiful thing especially considering that America provides an opportunity that no other country can. I do not blame families for taking a shot at having the opportunity to build their “American Dream”; I blame the current administration for encouraging lawless behavior and exposing kids to the horrors of trafficking. </p><p>FINISH THE WALL & SECURE OUR BORDER – then let’s talk about real common sense solutions for comprehensive immigration reform.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div id="ultimate-heading-699363027e8160d52" class="uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-699363027e8160d52 uvc-4352"><div class="uvc-main-heading ult-responsive"><h2>Stand For The Pre-Born </h2></div><div class="uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive"><p>I believe that all life is precious and is a gift from God.

Federal funding to any institution that participates directly or indirectly with the murder of the pre-born should be strictly prohibited. </p><blockquote><p>I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live</p><p>~ Deutoronomy 30:19</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.</p><p>~ Jeremiah 1:5</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.</p><p>~ Psalms 127:3 </p></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div id="ultimate-heading-929663027e8161043" class="uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-929663027e8161043 uvc-9615"><div class="uvc-main-heading ult-responsive"><h2>Safeguard The Second Amendment </h2></div><div class="uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive"><p>The primary function of the second amendment does not exist for the purpose of hunting nor to protect us against our neighbors. Its primary function is to protect “We The People” from a tyrannical government. That means that whatever the government has access to, we should have access to. I also take the 2nd amendment literally when it says “shall not be infringed upon”. If you would like an example of what a free society looks like without the 2nd amendment, look no further than Australia.</p><blockquote><p>“The ultimate authority…resides in the people alone…The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition.”</p><p>~ James Madison</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”</p><p>~ George Mason</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”</p><p>~ Thomas Jefferson </p></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div id="ultimate-heading-412563027e816139a" class="uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-412563027e816139a uvc-8538"><div class="uvc-main-heading ult-responsive"><h2>Stand with our Military & Support our Veterans</h2></div><div class="uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive"><p>There are a few places where politics do not belong and in my opinion the military is one of those places. Our primary focus should be military readiness and superiority concerning countries like China and Russia not fracturing our ranks with CRT and gender politics. The brave men and women that serve in our military stand against tyranny in the name of liberty everyday and do not deserve to experience it from those that they are defending. Furthermore, there is no greater sacrifice than the willingness to sacrifice one’s own freedom for the freedom of others; we must do a far better job standing for our veterans here at home! </p><blockquote><p>We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak.

I refuse to sit by idly while the torch of liberty, which so many before me sacrificed for, is extinguished. Furthermore, I absolutely refuse to pass on anything but freedom to the next generation.</p><blockquote><p>I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.</p><p>¬Thomas Paine </p></blockquote><p>I am one of three brothers who grew up in Danville, VA son of two educators. They demanded from an early age that we become free thinkers and exercise critical thought at every step. That is what led me to conservatism and to this very moment. Remaining silent with all that is happening in our world today would make me part of the problem. I was raised with the understanding that I should not complain or have an opinion unless I am willing to find my role in arriving at a solution. Entering the race for U.S. Representative of District 20 is what I believe to be my role in ushering in objective solutions that help us save our great country!</p><p>See I believe the answer to all the above situations can be found in two places; through God and the Constitution. I have seen too many instances over the last few months where we apparently set the constitution aside for a perceived temporary solution. I happen to believe that the constitution and bible exist specifically for moments like these. That means that we should leaning more so into these truths to help us navigate these difficult times and heal as a nation! I believe that small business plays a high role in the recovery of our economy! I believe that every citizen in South Florida and beyond has a role to pay in our healing process here local and nationally… Regardless of race, religion, or gender! My goal is to provide district 20 with a voice! I do not proclaim to have all of the answers, we all view the world through a different set of lenses and therefore each have a unique and meaningful perspective that should be heard. Furthermore, the solutions that we come to together should be community focused, locally supported and not require government overreach!</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"> <div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="infobox"><div class="infobox-content"><h3>Fighting For Faith</h3></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="infobox"><div class="infobox-content"><h3>Fighting For Families </h3></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="infobox"><div class="infobox-content"><h3>Fighting For Constitutional Freedom</h3></div></div></div></div></div></div><p> </p><h4>I understand the constitutional limits of the position sought and I fight for the American People & the cause of Liberty.</h4><p>__________________</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}10780111285,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10780111285,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="379" alt="10780111285?profile=RESIZE_400x" /></a></p><p> </p><p> </p></div></div></div></div></div>
