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 are the key to national prosperity.
Strongly Agree
2. Election of judges by the people for a definite term of office is the best way to select judges.
Disagree
3. More restrictive gun control laws are needed now to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
4. Efforts to bring Islamic law (shariah) to America do not pose a threat to our country and its Constitution.

5. Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry of persons into the country.
Strongly Agree
6. People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
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.
Agree
9. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.
Strongly Agree
10. There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.
Disagree
11. Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
12. Free market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.
Agree
13. Where minor children are involved, divorce laws should be reformed to include mutual consent of both parents and an increased waiting period, unless there is fault or abuse.
Agree
14. The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.
Disagree
15. Religious freedom is our most foundational freedom and deserves added protection in our state and federal constitutions.
Strongly Agree
16. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
America's Founders were aware of the tendency of leaders to want more and more power. Thus the separation of powers is necessary to keep the branches of government in check.
17. The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Agree
18. 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.
God of course is above all. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution do not address several of these items, thus - based upon those two items - I cannot rank this list.
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God and practice in the Catholic tradition.
