OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
1. Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self interest into the fairest and most productive economic system there is, and is the key to national prosperity.
Strongly Agree
2. Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry of persons into the country.
Strongly Agree
3. Because evolution is widely accepted, students should not be taught about intelligent design.
Strongly Disagree
4. Free market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.
Agree
5. It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
6. States should require voters to show photo identification and prove citizenship in order to register to vote or to cast a vote.
No Answer
7. Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
8. Marriage is a union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
9. Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
10. Pure democracy is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Strongly Disagree
11. Who has the primary responsibility to be sure children are properly educated?
Parents
12. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
If the life of the mother would be endangered.
13. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
The inherent tendency toward evil. ----- With reference to question #6 I strongly support photo identification. I do not think proof of citizenship is practical to carry to the polls. Your question conflates the two issues in a compound question. A drivers license does not prove citizenship.
14. List your six (6) most important political endorsements.
Endorsements have not even begun. ------------- Continued answer to question #12 - In cases of forcible rape or incest I have voted for statutes with these exceptions.
15. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
