QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including funds for “family planning,” contraception, or abortion counseling).
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only to save the mother’s life -but I believe that is an extremely rare instance
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Existing Federal laws that prohibit the interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
It does not need to be raised because the market has locked in and taken care of it.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Reduce fraud and abuse Reduce by looking for efficiencies Don’t fund positions that have been vacant over a year
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It is a term never used in the Constitution but has been used as a means of silencing people of faith in government by those who seek to have no Judeo-Christian influence in society. It’s a phrase wrongly used by those seeking to coerce conservative oriented churches, pastors and others from being vocal and actively involved
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
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.
The reality is it’s going to be a combination of B, C, D . There should be help to those who cannot help themselves . Ideally the private sector should control but it would be extremely difficult to undo many of the programs that exist. We need more free market reforms and transparency in the system
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
The government should only keep info in the aggregate not on individuals.
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
Yes because they are a democracy in the region and because of the historical ties we have to the Jewish people and faith as laid out in the Bible
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to transition a child to the opposite sex are harmful to that child and should be prohibited.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian saved by grace through Jesus Christ and my values are based on traditional biblical morality and conservative principles of free markets, pro life and family values and defending our borders. Socialism and Communism are anathema to everything our country represents and are thoroughly out of line with the Commandments of thou shelf not covet and thou shake not steal -nor making any graven image
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
