RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Self Defense
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Social Security Means Testing. Price Index initial benefits. Raise the normal retirement age, people are living a lot longer.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Allow student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy court.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Neutral
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The State should not sponsor a government religion or pick it's favorites. Religions should be able to practice without government interference in any way!
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Return to catastrophic insurance on a statewide basis, with people paying direct to the providers. Use catastrophic insurance for car accidents, heart attacks, strokes, cancer etc... only! Costs will come down dramatically! Federal Block grant Medicare and Medicaid back to the states for 5 years while this is implemented.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Pull the Troops out of the Middle East including Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Yemen. Close most of our bases there.
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Agree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We should allow anyone to immigrate like a Ellis Island Immigration insuring everyone who enters is not sick, or wishes no harm on our citizens! Stop the Sanctuary Cities and the welfare benefits provided by the state. NO FEDERAL MONEY! Citizenship should be granted after application, holding a job and staying out of trouble for 5 years. Sponsorships by fellow citizens would also be a good idea!
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

I believe in God and that Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross. We must treat others the way we wish to be treated! Do No Harm to Others! May God bless us and the United States of America!

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
