QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I’m 100% pro-life

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Choose not to answer

These abortion drugs should not exist because they destroy an unborn innocent life.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

I am 100% pro-life from conception to natural death.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What is your position on the minimum wage?

The free market and not the government should determine all wages

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

Go WOKE go BROKE


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None. The governent should never have the authority to close churches.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Business should have the right to not provide if something violates their beliefs


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.

D. Taxpayer-funded healthcare is a disaster

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

They are already waging emotional war on our kids with their corrupt TikTok

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

We have peace through strength and Israel is our only ally in the often caustic Middle East.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

An open border is a threat to national security. We must elect Trump and continue to build the wall.


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree

Choice means competition and competition means means better educations. Sadly, too many kids are trapped in bad schools. I’ve said this for many years. We need a backpack of money to follow the student to their school of choice. Including private schools.


VALUES

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

What they are doing to our kids in schools with porn in libraries and all this gender trans pronoun crap must stop. This is why I’m recruiting conservative school board members. To stop this leftist ideology in our schools.

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Jesus saves. That’s pretty brief and says a lot! I love Jesus!


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not. Voter fraud and rigging elections starts with no voter identification!

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not. It will make it ever easier for the democrats to rig elections on a larger scale.


EQUALITY

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

Did not answer

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Did not answer

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Did not answer


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

Did not answer

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
