OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

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

Chemical abortion drugs are still taking a life, so should be banned.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Abortions, in general, should only be legal to save the life of the mother or for critical health concern exceptions.

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

Yes. A national ban on abortions with critical health exceptions.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Reduce the national debt by a 3% across-the-board spending cut except Social Security. Thereafter, a 1% cut annually until the budget is balanced. These actions would improve the economic status of Americans, generally.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Basically, that the government does not take on the role of having an official religion (I agree), but this is just implied in the Constitution and not an actual part of it. I think the courts have broadened this implied philosophy way beyond the intention of the Constitution and that having our American Judeo-Christian heritage displayed in public settings or discussed in schools, including prayers to God, is okay and should be revisited by the U.S. Supreme Court.

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

None or pretty much none depending on the definition of 'require'. If a Medieval-type plague, e.g. "Bubonic Plague", akin to what halved the pop. of Europe occurred (NOT Covid-19), maybe, but even then the govt. cannot force anyone to take a vaccine.

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.

None of the above really characterizes my position but (B) comes closer than the others. The government should have a role in healthcare insurance but it should be earned or paid for, kind of like Social Security is earned, but of course exceptions have to be made for the disabled, children and parents whose sole job is homemaker or taking care of children in the household.


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.

C

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.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Lack of leadership at the presidential level and a decline in good societal values.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

The Biden Open Borders has been so porous, radical and outlandish, essentially his own private ILLEGAL immigration program, that we need to have a moratorium on immigration for two generations or more, with exceptions for citizen spouses and some essential personnel (but very limited).


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

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

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Christian. I believe the Bible is the Word of God.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

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

Natural gas.


ABOUT YOU

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?

Conservative

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To better the safety, civility and yearnings of society.

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.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Virtually none, especially with the dangerous Open Borders that Biden has propagated.
