Positions

21. Under what circumstances do you believe abortion should be permitted?

Dave Cummings: "Only to save the life of the mother. But even in these circumstances all efforts should be made to save the child."

22. What is your position on homosexual marriage?

Dave Cummings: "It is not God’s plan for his creation. God’s plan is one man, one woman, one lifetime."

23. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate for our healthcare system?

Dave Cummings: "We should return to the old process BEFORE the “Affordable Care Act” was in place. We had the greatest healthcare system in the world. We had Medicare and Medicaid for the poor and the elderly; we had the VA system for our Vets, we only needed to make a few changes such as not denying pre-existing conditions and perhaps capping certain costs for services. I advocate for returning to this system."

24. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate against the opioid crisis?

Dave Cummings: "Stricter enforcement of existing laws regarding prescriptions and expanding the DEA Diversion Control Group and supplying more resources to that division of the Drug Enforcement Administration."

25. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate against poverty and income inequality?

Dave Cummings: "The greatest tools to combat these are a growing and expanding economy. As the economy grows, so do jobs. As the demand for workers grows, companies must compete to attract and retain workers. Therefore salaries increase. Then when government reduces the tax burden on the citizens, their money goes further and people spend more, thus recreating the growing and expanding economy cycle of the free market. When the market is actually free, businesses compete to offer better products at a lower price. This happens without government intervention. Adam Smith called this “the invisible hand.” The only REAL cure to income equality is to have ACTUAL equality where everyone is rated on the same merits such as education, experience, and intellect."

26. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate against illegal immigration?

Dave Cummings: "I ascribe to America First Policies. We must enforce our immigration laws and we cannot let those who have discarded our laws go to the front of the line while those who have waited for 10 years through the legal process get pushed to the back. We have a process and it MUST be followed. We should also be sure we have enough jobs for our own citizens, before we hire outside workers."

27. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate to protect religious liberties?

Dave Cummings: "I will introduce the American Heritage Act which finally legalizes the teaching of America’s TRUE heritage built on faith and God. I will also openly advocate for Judges who follow our First Amendment and seek to impeach those who do not!"

28. If (re-)elected, what remedies will you advocate against the internet monopolies Facebook censoring Christian content and Google demonetizing Christian websites?

Dave Cummings: "I will use the powers of Congress to equip the Federal Communications Commission to have TEETH to protect the constitutional rights of religious voices online and over the airwaves. The 1st Amendment seems to only be referenced for speech and free press, yet the 3rd and most important portion of this amendment (Freedom of Religion) is always swept under the rug."

29. What other issues are priorities for your constituents and what remedies will you advocate to address them?

Dave Cummings: "I will defend the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution and I have a plan to solve the toxic algae crisis in my district."

30. What else would you like to share?

Dave Cummings: "I would like to consider a few Constitutional amendments such as defining marriage as a man and woman, and expanding the First Amendment definition to no longer prohibit religion in schools, governments, and public arenas. Again, speech and press are not limited in this way. Why should religion be?"
