George Whitefield & Jonathan Edwards — Before 1776

Candidate-stated

Before there was a Declaration of Independence, there was a Great Awakening. George Whitefield rode from colony to colony, preaching repentance to crowds so large no church could hold them. Jonathan Edwards preached that a nation must turn to God or perish. Their voices prepared the soul of a nation that had not yet been born.

Education & Families

Candidate-stated

I want to see schools return to the fundamentals — real math, writing, reading, civics, and practical life skills. I'd push for trade and vocational education to be treated as equal in value to a four-year degree track. We've spent a generation producing graduates who can't balance a checkbook or fix a leaky pipe. Florida can do better. I'd also prioritize civic education so the next generation understands what it means to actually be a citizen of a constitutional republic.

Why are you running for this elected position? What are the two most compelling issues on which, if elected, you feel you can make a difference? ¿Por qué se postula para este cargo electo? ¿Cuáles son los dos temas más importantes en los que, si es electo/a, cree que puede hacer una diferencia para nuestro estado?

Candidate position

I am running for office because of a dream I had. I feel that Florida can lead our nation to a spiritual awakening. I feel that Governor DeSantis has done an exceptional job, Abraham Lincoln said; "It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord." (1863 Prayer Proclamation) Two of the more important policies 1) Decentralize Electricity- Individual power plants, and Power company alternatives. 2) Criminalize distribution of chemicalized and poisoning of food and water supply.

What actions can be taken to protect Florida's environment, water quality and coastlines from pollution, overdevelopment and climate change? ¿Qué acciones pueden tomarse para proteger el medio ambiente de Florida, la calidad del agua y las costas frente a la contaminación, el desarrollo excesivo y el cambio climático?

Candidate position

Floridians have a history of disrupting billion dollar projects that seem like good ideas until someone starts to calculate the real environmental damage impact. The Cross Florida Barge Canal is a perfect example of this (FloridaHistoryBlog.com). As long as there are altruistic motives ruling the billion dollar monetary schemes, we have a good chance that stupid projects will not permitted. As Governor, there is a delicate balance between, nature and demands. If nature is incapable of sustaining demographic and industrial development, then as Governor, I would have to insist on a more sophisticated workable solution. As for coastline pollution, much of Florida's pollution can be attributed to storm water run off, septic waste, and Ag fertilizers. As for overdevelopment, revitalizing existing slum areas is probably #1 solution for developers. Climate Change has evolved from the "Ice age" to "Global Warming" and now back to Seasonal climate Change. I think we're at a good Place.

Equitable and affordable access to healthcare is declining, in part due to the decrease of federal insurance subsidies. At the same time, more Medicaid costs are being pushed onto the states. How should the state address these issues? El acceso equitativo y asequible a la atención médica está disminuyendo, en parte debido a la reducción de los subsidios federales de seguros. Al mismo tiempo, más costos de Medicaid se están trasladando a los estados. ¿Cómo debería el estado abordar estos problemas?

Candidate position

I do have a great affordable Healthcare solution. First, Give an affordable option that excludes Corporate ownership of the medical industry. Secondly, dismiss the insurance industry from being the only game in town. Thirdly, eliminate big Pharma's strangle hold on every doctor and medical administration. Institute a public held, led, and supervised medical services that include all disciplines of health. Health begins in the heart, mind, soul and spirit. These affect physical health. Offering counsel to people is practical for mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual sickness. Stress can be caused by financial lack, marital issues, financial, educational, hygienic ignorance and broken family relationships. Driving down costs while treating causes and not medicating symptoms is a very good start.

The Florida Cabinet, acting as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, manages over 12 million acres of public lands. What is your philosophy on conservation, acquisition, and protection of natural resources, including Florida Forever projects, state parks, and coastal areas? El Gabinete de Florida, actuando como Junta de Fideicomisarios del Internal Improvement Trust Fund, administra más de 12 millones de acres de tierras públicas. ¿Cuál es su filosofía sobre la conservación, adquisición y protección de los recursos naturales, incluyendo proyectos de Florida Forever, parques estatales y zonas costeras?

Candidate position

First of all, I don't believe that conserving land to the detriment of Florida's population is compassionate. It may seem like keeping people away from land is a good thing, until you realize that some people thrive in wide open spaces. People is Florida's greatest value and most precious resource. What we could do for this state is immeasurable, but too many people that want to manage the land, want it only for viewing because they already have million dollar vistas. What if Florida began to help it's poor by educating them and truly supporting the full health of the Floridian? None would be left behind to fend for themselves? Sometimes people need extra encouragement, it wouldn't hurt us to be a little patient with the dysfunctional amongst us. Some folks are just slower than others. I think we have to rethink conservation to prioritize the well-being of We The People of Florida.

Insufficient housing is hurting Florida families and limiting Florida’s economy. What state measures do you support to address affordable housing and reduce homelessness? La falta de vivienda está afectando a las familias de Florida y limitando la economía del estado. ¿Qué medidas estatales apoya para abordar la vivienda asequible y reducir la falta de hogar?

Candidate position

Homelessness is not just a financial challenge situation. I've worked with many homeless people and have discovered that many homeless people come from broken families and destroyed relationships. I think churches could make a huge impact, but unfortunately, many are confused as to what their duty is to mankind. And so, the poor suffer from lack of interaction with people in general. Many are treated like a social blight in need of social bleach. Homeless people need attention. With a little goodness and charity, some might find their way back to a joyful functionality. I am also aware that some individuals, (and I have been burned by several) live with no sense of responsibility, in effect, sabotage their own well-being for temporary self-gratification, leaving the right path for a choice littered with destruction. A choice they are free to make, never-the-less, a heartbreaking choice.

What is your long-term plan for public education, specifically concerning teacher retention, curriculum changes, and the role of parental rights laws? ¿Cuál es su plan a largo plazo para la educación pública, específicamente en relación con la retención de maestros, cambios en el currículo y el papel de las leyes de derechos de los padres?

Candidate position

Public education needs evaluation and scientific efficacy. Evaluation because of societal impact. Scientific efficacy because what elevates humanity to dignity should be implemented, not degradation. Teachers have a very tough job to do. Most are employed in the unmitigated issues of discipline. Parents should be required to attend training courses focused on basics of family order and responsibility. Teacher retention is a problem, if we fix the problem of discipline we can eliminate 90% of teacher loss. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is my belief that curriculum that introduces societal destructive knowledge, is a degradation of humanity and underdeveloped children are incapable of discerning poisonous knowledge from constructive, nutritious information. Parental rights laws are essential to the foundations of any sane and stable society which must be honored and retained.

Polls indicate the public is more concerned about the cost of property insurance than property taxes. What is your view and why? Las encuestas indican que el público está más preocupado por el costo del seguro de propiedad que por los impuestos a la propiedad. ¿Cuál es su opinión y por qué?

Candidate position

Most property insurance is required when a home is owned by the bank. Property taxes are historically lower than insurance premiums. Therefore, it comes down to the bottom line of budgetary fiscal prudence. But if the residents of Florida could form their own insurance companies, all of the money would stay in Florida and there would be an equalization of insurance assurance. If properties could be categorized into several associations based upon property values then, each group could lend as well as invest like a corporation and grow their insurance money until the lump sum can withstand any insurance need. Property can increase just because of savings on insurance. The same can be done for property taxes. The People would have the control and not surrogates.

Repentance is refusing to impose evil intentions on others and turning to express only good and right actions with merciful limits upon others. There is no shame in delivering good will and kindness to others. What is shameful is complete disregard for good and wholesome behavior.
