QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The Creator is the only one with the authority to determine when life begins. According to the Declaration of Independence, the purpose of government is to secure the people's rights.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

To prevent the death of the mother. However, in the 21st Century, there seems to be no circumstances where an abortion is necessary to prevent the death of the mother.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Disagree

I don't know how it would be determined who could afford to pay more taxes. Regardless, I oppose graduated tax systems.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Reduce government involvement in social matters Stop taxes from funding NGOs Remove illegal aliens from the United States


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The church and the state are separate concepts with unique and essential roles (see The Truth Project by Del Tackett). The purpose of the church is to glorify God while the purpose of government is to secure the People's rights. Democrats have adopted the state as their church, advancing failed political systems like socialism as a matter of their faith in spite of the proven social science to the contrary.


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 health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded. The government should extract itself from healthcare, encouraging market forces through catastrophic insurance and Health Savings Accounts. Private health insurance should replace Medicaid and Medicare, funded by the government for the elderly and temporarily for the indigent.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


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.

B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. Instead: B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC and fight tyranny. The United States is thankfully not a democracy and we should not push that tyranny onto others. Our Constitution guarantees that the United States is a Republic.

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

Agree

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

Yes. Without Israel, that portion of the World would devolve into cruel tyranny which would creep into the West. Also, Genesis 12:3.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

America is enriched by immigrants “yearning to breathe free.” Each year, 1.2 million people are legally invited to live in the United States. These welcomed souls are vetted to ensure that they: 1. Are not violent or dishonorable 2. Will be self-reliant contributors 3. Will proudly assimilate into the American culture

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.

Agree


VALUES

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

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 find the licensing of marriage to be a violation of the separation of church and state.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I surrender my sinful nature to Jesus Christ, the Creator described in the first chapter of John in the Bible.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

I suppose that the most reliable energy source is oil. However, I encourage the use of natural gas and I wish to see the advance and proliferation of clean nuclear power.


ABOUT YOU

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative

I define conservative as "conserving what America's founders gave us; a nation based on "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

Parents have the greater responsibility here.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Institutionalize violent felons and the criminally insane so that they do not have access to firearms.
