Campaign websitePro-Life's campaign website stated the following:Constitutional Stand On The IssuesThe members of the Constitution Party (occasionally referred to here as "CP") should serve their fellowmen for the sake of love and eternal accountability. CP members should serve without motive of personal gain, or reward, in this life.We use the Constitution Party platform because it is detailed on almost all issues and a voter can see how we stand and vote.As for now, I am going to use the Constitution Party Platform to explain the issues. We generally agree with this Platform. A couple of things we do not agree with is nuclear power (under Energy), and that our nation was founded on Christianity. See explanations below.Splitting atoms, murders atoms. The result is radioactive waste that cannot be dealt with. When we defy natural law we get deadly side affects. God does not split atoms. If you say the Sun is nuclear explosions, then why is sunlight not deadly like radioactive waste. Man poisons himself everyday by refining and concentrating the elements of the earth in defiance of natural law.We wish our nation had been founded on Christianity, then we would have the Ten Commandments in our Constitution, and we would not have started as a slave-holding nation justified by deceived Christians. Slavery would have had an ending date in the Constitution. On a positive note, the Founders tried to prevent the States from establishing religious tests for holding office, this was wise.Christianity was corrupted in the first and second centuries and has never recovered, and at present, is really failing. When is the last time you have seen Christians out in the streets protesting pre-born baby murder, murder by unjust war, adultery, fornication, pornography, theft by socialism, transgenderism, and theft by fiat currency? Why do Christians promote selfish, fascist corporatism and ignore the consequential loss of economic and political freedom? The reason: Jesus taught that selfishness was the prime sin, but Christians do not want their churches to challenge their prime sin (selfish motive). Christians want to gain God's grace without sacrificing, or repenting of their selfish motives. This is why Christianity has failed.Christians want to serve God without offending the devil.Socialism, fascism, and capitalism are false systems based in selfishness. The eternal, God-ordained economic system is Christian partnerships. These employee owned, perpetual partnerships could be on earth today but Christians do not understand them. Has your church discussed Acts 2: 44-45. 44 "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45- And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need." This is a voluntary, free-will joining of assets in an unselfish way, that we believe, was taught by Jesus. Most people are too selfish to even contemplate such an economic truth. Blood related families generally are too selfish to even talk about Christian economics and partnerships. An economic partnership will only be viable in the long run when Christians are able to discern motives. Most Christians believe it is wrong to discern motives. Many think only God can discern the selfish from the unselfish.We left the Constitution Party National for a number of years (2006- 2014) because the Party leadership, nationally, and in Idaho, would not discipline members who violated the Sanctity of Life plank. We have been with Constitution Party since the beginning, about 1992 except for the 2006- 2014 break.When Central Banks Issue Paper Money and Digital CurrencyWhen central banks create money without 100% backing by gold, silver, or commodities, they are thieves and liars.A strict reading of the United States Constitution would only allow for gold and silver coin as money. The US central bank, known as the Federal Reserve Bank, is privately owned and has deceived the American people into trading gold and silver for paper money. This is one of the major reasons for our present economic crisis and inflation.When a nation is selfish enough to be deceived into murdering a large percentage of their unborn, patronizing sick sports and entertainment, stealing via the ballot box, that nation can easily be deceived and controlled by dishonest central banks. In fact the bankers are deceived into thinking themselves as honest.The only reason we should 'not' return to gold and silver money is because privately owned central banks own about two-thirds of the world's gold. We need to convince people that their central bank exchanged paper money for gold and silver in prior decades. These stolen precious metals must be returned to the appropriate nation, and central bank contracts repealed. We cannot go back to gold, if most of the gold is controlled by private bankers. Each nation needs to demand that these banks return their gold. Let the education begin and the decades of deceit be revealed.In asking for an audit of the Federal Reserve. We should insist that the gold that was confiscated by Executive Order of FDR in 1933 be accounted for and returned if possible.— Pro-Life's campaign website (April 22, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

U.S. House
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I am an 83 year old, organic farmer. Born and raised in Wyoming. From a ranch and business family. Played basketball into college. Graduate of BYU-Provo in Political Science and Accounting. Worked for 3 CPA firms and later had my own practice as a Licensed Public Acct in Idaho. Worked in open-pit mining in Wyoming. About 12 years at a Caterpillar dealership. I have been a salesman of irrigation equipment. I have run for Governor 3 times, US Senate (2), Congress (3), Lt. Governor (1), Legislature (1). My motive for running is to make people accountable for hearing the truth. I probably will never win because I try to find truth, live truth, and speak truth.
Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
Abortion is murder. When sperm meets egg a new person is on earth. I will seek to establish legal personhood for the unborn child.There are only 2 sexes, male and female. I will seek legislation to establish this fact. I will also speak up ferventlyOur fiat currency is a ponzi scheme and it will someday end and we will have lost our freedom. Fake money.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am for everything that will reduce the size and influence of government. Article 1 and the 10th Amendment allow States to be independent of Federal control in areas of criminal law. State criminal law should never be subject to Federal court review only in very rare cases.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
I only follow three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?
The New Testament
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Elected officials should be open and honest. We do not have such people in government because our general populous is selfish and corrupt. We want to steal and gain advantage via government. Socialism is collect theft. Have you ever heard a elected official say "abortion is murder" or "gay marriage is perversion."
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
I would speak up about the lies and corruption and it would be entertaining.

Do not compromise the truth.
What legacy would you like to leave?
I saved some babies, helped some LGBTQ friends to repent. Helped save the Republic.

Va Pensiero
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
I should have made more money.
What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?
The House can impeach both the Executive and Judicial branches. The House should have a budget, but they fail this duty. Their vote can determine a contested Presidential race.
Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?
No, in fact, experience sometimes causes the official to
carry false policies to the next level.

Our moral culture is corrupt We need to repent and keep God's commandments
