QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree

I favor free abortion on demand throughout pregnancy.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Disagree

I send Mifepristone and Misoprostol through the mail to women who need them.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

On demand.

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

The federal government has to ensure that abortions are free and available to any woman or transgender man who wants one.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I would outlaw billionaires and take their money and give it to everyone else.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Disagree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

Yes


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means that. As an atheist, I don't want to see any state involvement in or with churches.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Agree


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

People have the right to refuse vaccinations provided they don't endanger others. If they do, they should be subject to penalties.

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

B


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

B

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Somewhat. I am a Jew, but anti-Zionist. However, Israel exists and should be treated like every other nation.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Trump saying servicemembers are suckers and losers.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Neutral

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Non-criminals with skills


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Disagree

I support all of the above as long as taxpayers' funds are not involved (unless they specifically agree to donate them for those causes above what they would otherwise owe).

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Disagree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Disagree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

None


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Agree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Agree


EQUALITY

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Agree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Neutral

Transgender women aren't biological males.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Agree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

The human brain

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

Neutral
