To San Diego Union Tribune
ATTN: Sam Schulz
Here are my 8 responses to your questions.
1). Why are you running, and what makes you the best Candidate?
In my last reply to your same questions in July 2024, many topics
of these questions are being updated.
In my opinion, I need to inform the voters just what "BONO" is all about.
First of all, I am a Proud U. S. Citizen by birth here in this wonderful country.
I served my country Honorably for 30 plus years in the Naval Service.
During those years I was instructed to show Respect, Trust, and to
.SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY.
Character should be considered in Choosing a Candidate.
A candidate should never be elected because of his personal wealth,
in this case, my opponent has $200 million in net wealth according to his website
What makes myself the best candidate:
1). Have Loyalty to my Country, First.
2). Be Respectful to your fellow man.
3). Hold Trust and Esteem to your fellow man.
4). Show that you really CARE, to our Constituents.
5). I CARE for the constituents of the 50th District, FIRST.
I am the best candidate because my heart is into assisting
the striving citizens in this district. The district does
not have or had a prior congressman that truly takes the time
and effort to answer the constituents concerns locally, FIRST.
This Congressman takes care of his 30 PAC'S,
(Political Action Committees) with over 200 members, FIRST.
An excellent example is in our district, we have an estimated
121,000 Illegal Foreign Visitors, residing in our district,
because of President Joe Biden's Administration.
Welcome to America stance for the last four years.
Please remember my constituents, all of these
121,000 illegal foreign visitors have come into our country illegally,
breaching our southern Borders.
2). What are the three top issues facing this district and California generally?
1). Economy/ Start oil production/Bring back our businesses from China,
by giving these businesses a real reason to return,
by lowering the Capital Gains Tax to 24%.
2). Immigration Reform/Secure the Southern Border
3). Decrease local taxes by at least 20%.
4). Stop all Foreign Aid Immediately.
3). What are the first three things you would do in your first term in office?
a). I would stop the MASSIVE local Corruption in our district.
The present Mayor, Todd Gloria, (if he is re-elected), plus his 9 Crony Council Members,
please, don't forget our esteemed District Supervisor, Terra Lawson Remer,
together have a Humanitarian Heart for these Illegal Foreign Visitors,
from 185 foreign countries that have brought various diseases into our country.
b). Let us not forget our current Congressman who is standing on the sidelines,
with his Policy of not getting involved with our districts problems.
While there is so much noticeable, CORRUPTION, this CONGRESSMAN,
fails to appear.
By the way, this congressman usually appears at the district's local events,
for a 15 minute Photo Shoot, many constituents relate to him
by a nick-name, Photo Shoot Scot.
After leaving these events you can usually find him at local golf courses,
with his crony friends and donors. Sometimes advertising his
two golf companies (Golf Ski) that he owns on the east coast.
Also he owns a local landscaping business in La Jolla.
Why should the district keep supplying this congressman the opportunity
to grow his wealth by Insider Trading in Congress, while he is presently
employed by our constituents.
He has proposed 145 bills to be submitted to Congress, since
March 2023 till Sept 2024, not one bill is related to our district needs
or concerns.
He is the Second Richest Congressman in California, behind Nancy Pelosi.
He is taking care of his PAC and 200 members, not his constituents.
With him being named the CZAR of the Pharmaceutical World,
how has that helped our district, not in any way.
With his recent FEC filings his campgain donors in New York state donating $400,000,
what's he receiving that for?
what's he receiving that for?
He received $500,000 from Wash. DC from his Cronies and his friends.
Please don't forget about the $390,000 that he received from being
the Czar of the Pharmaceutical World.
He has in the past several months placed $28 million of his own wealth,
into his CAMPAIGN FUNDS. iS HE AFRAID of the Bono WAVE?
Why should we let this congressman be re-elected to gain possibly
another 100 million dollars in Personal Wealth in the next two years,
while he is supposed to be representing our district,
taking care of our District FIRST?
Our district is currently in debt by my estimation, $3.4 Billion Dollars.
How can this district accept the 121,000 more mouths to feed,
thanks to our President plus his Humanitarian Mayor, Todd Gloria,
this district is getting deeper into debt daily.
c). I will on my first days in Congress, Be seeking a US Congressional
Investigation into the Massive Corruption in the 50th District.
I will hold all of these corrupt officials, Democrats & Republican Politicians,
to account for the 3.4 million disaster in our striving district.
2). I will personally seek assistance with our New President Donald Trump,
to immediately seal the southern border, and to hold the Politicians
responsible for this intrusion into our country.
3). I will be seeking ways to lower our district's taxes, especially
the property taxes to be lowered to at least 20%. Also our food and
gasoline expenses will be worked on to be lowered within 30 days.
With our Social Security Income being taxed on already being taxed,
I will be working with the New Administration, to have our
future Social Security TAX FREE!!
Our Income Tax System needs to be overhauled,
I shall work with Congress to do just that.
Our district needs a MAJOR OVERHAUL, I shall do the best I can,
unlike our present congressman, who has done very little to care
for the constituents in our district.
4). What would you do to control Climate Change and its effect in California?
This is not a topic that I am familiar with. I would seek out the Professionals
in this field, seeking advice, then making a decision of what I would do
to keep our district and country safe.
5). How should US migration and asylum change, what should guide it,
and what will you pursue in Congress?
We have to remember, we are dealing with the lives of these illegal foreign visitors
to our country, however they illegally breached our Southern Borders, these Illegal
foreign visitors should be treated with some-what respect.
Many of these asylum seekers, if proven to have a legitimate reason for
fleeing the country from being harmed, we have to hear their stories,
and get the facts of their individual situation.
After doing that, there should be a determination of how those issues will proceed.
I will pursue a very fair position for the many 121,000 illegal foreign visitors
residing in our district first.
When it is proven that they are currently being actively employed and providing
their fair share to pay their taxes. They also need to establish a residence that
they can safely reside in, not some river-bed canyon or on our city streets.
The current illegal foreign visitors that are presently or have in the past.
have been pillaging our local businesses, assaulting our citizens,
committing crimes against our citizens, also their own illegal foreign visitors,
shall be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of our laws.
6). What should we do about Israel and Hamas?
It's been over a year now that this conflict has been waging on, with no end in sight.
The US Government should always maintain Israel's Sovereignty.
I don't feel we should continue funding Israel's Conflict.
This is a Middle East Problem that the Middle East Countries should solve.
I don't have a problem with giving Israel, any and all military support,
but as far as funding further activities.
I would like to see an Itemized accounting system set up with our government,
so the public can see a total listing of expenses and where every dime goes
with the allotted funds.
7). Would you support federal statutory restrictions on or
protection of abortion rights?
I stand with the recent decisions of the supreme court.
8).Would you support or oppose stricter federal gun laws
and background checks?
I fully support the 2nd Amendment. as an citizen, I do not own a firearm.
I would support stricter punishments, even the death penalty
for such crimes,
