Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Legalized assisted suicide goes against the laws of God and man; for the doctor it is the Hippocratic Oath, (do not harm). To open Pandora's box is to ask next if genocide is acceptable to those as groups that are convinced; they do not count as people with value? Where does the slippery slope end?

Mother's life in jeopardy, rape, incest or no detectable heartbeat.

ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Redistribution of wealth is a Marxist ideology to promote one class and take from another. Opportunities to fail or succeed in work, education and merit-based activities is what can lessen the gap between wealthy and working classes. Handouts make dependents and a hand up makes for independent productive citizens.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Yes. There are many areas where government spending can be cut and there should be policy in place to pay down the debt. A balanced budget is the key to controlling the national debt.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Current corporate tax levels under President Donald J. Trump were cut to twenty-one percent and under Biden is twenty-eight percent with a minimum fifteen percent rate. The less companies and people pay in taxes then more money is available to create wealth.

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Yes, this is a true statement and the First Amendment states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
According to the U.S. Constitution, First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." America is founded on Judeo Christian Principles and cardinal moral truths include that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. The relationship between church and state are intertwined because without the freedom of religion there can be no true freedom.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Local school districts have mandated childhood vaccines that were proven to protect society, yet when the definition of a vaccine is changed to adapt the lack of medical truisms or facts, then no mandate should ever exist. To Contrast: Mandates are not a vote of a representative body and undermine the legislative process by which our United States government is of the people, by the people and for the people.

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available to U.S. Citizens only. Access to healthcare is a right, and low cost or no cost healthcare is already available at county hospitals.

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.
C. The United States should monitor or have a trust and verify policy in countries where freedom is attempting to grow. Diplomacy intervention against the aggressor country is preferred, yet only if imminent danger does exist, do we as a nation consider intervention if we have an exit strategy in place prior to advancing.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
Israel is the ally of the US and the Arab-Palestinian leadership have not proven their ability to be peaceful and trustworthy for long periods without some sort of conflict.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The failure to hold Russia and China accountable for their behavior to steal intellectual property and test the bounds of Americas’ strength by using hypersonic weapons, hacking private companies and pushing the bounds for a potential World War is due to an absence of strong America First policies, and weak US leadership. Appeasement is not an American foreign policy option.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
When Islamic terrorists are found guilty or complicit for engaging or killing Americans on the battlefield or acts of terrorism on domestic or foreign soil or at sea or in the air, the result should be immediate death for the terrorist, and harsh economic sanctions against the countries that promoted the terrorist act. The only way to eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism is to eradicate the terrorist. The most humane way to eradicate Islamic terrorism is to promote freedom in these countries and push for women's rights to vote. The way Biden handled Afghanistan is an example of why people turn to Islamic terrorism by abandoning those who we promised a better way of life. Damn Biden for what he has done.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build the wall, and repel our southern border with an active state's military presence and deport all who attempt to cross illegally. Declare the Cartels a terrorist organization and hunt them down for trial and deportation. Any administration that promotes invasion on American soil should be tried for acts of treason, and making illegal edicts appear legal under the guise of executive order is grounds for impeachment and prosecution.

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Withholding tax dollars from sanctuary cities, public or private entities is a first step to modifying the bad policy.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigration is the essence of what American stands for to build a better nation. Vetting potential immigrants that have a skill and desire to assimilate without burdening the social system should be a priority.

VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
No, Sexual orientation and gender identity should not be protected classes in non-discrimination laws. People should be allowed to be who they want to be, yet the choice or preference to self identify is a choice and the consequences of independent decisions are the responsibility of the decision maker and not society.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Critical Race Theory and Social Emotional Learning are Marxist ideologies that distort facts to lower standards to elevate classes of people over individual liberty and rights.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian faith is personal and there are truths that cannot be distorted. The first one is Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross for your sins and mine. The second most faithful truth is, love your neighbor as yourself. (Very hard to do sometimes)

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Sanctuary cities would lose their ability to vote in Federal Elections. Voter ID is a requirement and election integrity should carry stiff penalties when the system is scammed or gamed for fraudulent intentions. Five years incarceration for the first offense.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a threat to domestic security in the U.S. because race is used to divide our nation and those using race to gain favor are complicit in using Marxist ideology to tear down the fabric and culture of the country. The newest form of racism has two forms, equity to allow mediocracy to gain acceptance and vaccinated against the unvaccinated as a form of identifying second class citizens who choose to make their own choices.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
We are a nation of energy producers and there is no evidence that fracking is unsafe or environmentally irresponsible. Note: sending our energy to Russia and foreign advisories, while shutting down American producers is an act of treason.

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A. Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs which hurt the economy. The Green New Deal is a Lie.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
The 2020 Election was stolen in plain sight due to election fraud and I will fight for election integrity. We are at war with the current regime in power that is attempting to debase our currency and our values using Marxist tactics to destroy our sovereign nation. Biden is owned by the highest foreign bidders, including China and the Cartels. I want to see someone go to jail for selling out America and Americans. Critical Race Theory is a Marxist Ideology designed to destabilize the traditional values of the U.S. using class warfare and equity as tools to brand people as racists. The progressives argument lacks substance and will not stand up against the constitutional values that make Americans fought and died for. Black Lives Matter Inc. and Antifa are terrorist organizations that spread Marxist propaganda. Facebook and Twitter should lose their 230 platform status Transgenderism is a mental illness. It is important for Congress to fight cultural deficiencies that etch the sovereignty of our nation. Deficiencies that destroy the virtue in which a Republic can only stand without imploding and to champion merit, hard work, property ownership, less taxes and less government intervention in our daily lives.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
The war on Police officers is abhorrent and those who call for such actions should be voted out of office. Officers are officers 24/7 and we as citizens pay taxes to receive services from our local governments. Beyond that, these men and women risk their lives for us and we must respect their chosen responsibility to serve our communities on and off duty.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Hell No. Criminals belong in jail and should be prosecuted after they are found guilty by a jury of their peers. Then while in jail, let them access mental health programs.
