No.

No.

Question:

How will you protect the authority of precinct delegates as party chair and make sure their interests are put at the forefront of the MRP?

Answer:

Yes.

 

 

Question:

The Heartbeat Bill spurred a contentious debate within the Pro-Life movement of Michigan. 

Right to Life of Michigan and the Michigan Catholic Conference argued the heartbeat bill would have jeopardized the 1931 full ban on abortion (MCL 750.14).

The Heartbeat Coalition and Jay Sekulow’s American Center for Law and Justice carefully wrote the heartbeat bill with clause 8(4) that reads “nothing in this act shall be construed to repeal or amend, explicitly or by implication, any provision of law prohibiting or regulating abortion, including, but not limited to… MCL 750.14, 750.15, 750.322, and 750.323.

Who do you believe was right about the Heartbeat Bill and what do you think the Pro-Life movement needs to do moving forward to protect life in the aftermath of the passage of Proposal 3?

Answer:

Right to Life of Michigan and the Michigan Catholic Conference are NOT pro-life orginizations. They are for profit orginizations and I have not agreed with there leadership for 10 years.

 

 

Question:

How will you use the authority of the MRP to fight voter fraud in the state of Michigan and make sure that election integrity is restored? How will you effectively fight back against Democrats in power who refuse to enforce the law?

Answer:

I will back and push Patrick Colbeck and other groups invested in election fraud & get very involved in legal challenges to the powers of the Mi Dems. I also will begin grassroots pro active search for county constitutional candidates.

 

 

Question:

With the youth trending toward leftism on social issues, what is your plan to re-engage the youth and reverse this slide toward socialism that puts our nation’s future in jeopardy? Do you believe that Republicans should trend toward the middle or focus on winning the arguments to engage the youth?

Answer:

This is a 7 part question for a 3 year plan. But it begins with campus flash mob events and drawing strong figures OUT to stand with constitutional Conservatives. This also requires FREEDOM TEAMS education.

 

 

Question:

Do you think the Republican Legislature did the right thing in December by not sending strong policies to the governor believing she would veto them or do you think they should have put her on record for vetoing bills–such as ensuring males don’t compete against women in women’s sports? Will you use your power as MRP Chair to compel the Michigan state legislature to support strong legislation instead of coming up with excuses for inaction? How will you use the bully pulpit of the Party to enforce principled behavior by elected lawmakers?

Answer:

I will be using the people around me (as well as myself) to recruit on campus and athletes to challenge the NCAA & The current elected officials. We also need to give them the tools to stand up to the campus communists.

 

 

Question:

Will special interest groups and lobbyists influence the MRP? Will they be shut out entirely? Are there any lobbying groups or special interest groups (on issues such as gun rights or abortion) that you feel are worthwhile?

Answer:

Special Interest Groups will be a major part of my MiGOP ground game administration. Hillsdale College online, Freedomworks and several other organizations that formed to challenge the Gov. during the lockdown will have a seat at the table and will be used to help educate other grassroots groups in all of Michigan’s 83 counties.
