OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In the extreme case of a medical emergency, where both Mother and child are in harms way. In that case, all options to save both must be exhausted first...
“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.
Choose not to answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Life begins at conception and ends at natural death...
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None exist and none should be allowed to be fabricated. Church is the 24/7/365 sanctuary for all citizens everywhere, always...
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.
B
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None, especially when labelled an emergency use authorized drug. Vaccines are extreme, the current schedule lists upwards of seventy-five (75) when pregnancy treatments are included. This 'poisoning', primarily our children, must stop!
NATIONAL SECURITY
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. The relationship with Israel is necessary to maintain the Biblical requirement for all Christians and our Jewish brothers in Christ Jesus, as directly by God, to keep from being cursed...
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The USA had a great head start 4+ years ago, but the solution was shut down by special interests and those preferring to harm the USA for political gain. It's not about cost, it's about doing right for our Constitutional Republic and for human dignity. The USA is far from over feeling the effects of a disastrous open border condition. It may permanently cripple our country...
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
Funding is not about bricks and mortar, it's about the comprehension of human capital, in this case, the student...
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
This category has been allowed to expand due to fear of offending. When did grooming and mutilation become a 'right', especially when it involves dhildren?
Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Parents ONLY have that right, unless laws are broken and oversight must be applied for the sake of the child...
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Insurance should not cover either. It should be an expense that falls squarely onto the person who decided they wanted to 'transition'. It's what being responsible, even when acting irresponsible, is...
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
Again, not a right or an 'X' or a 'Y' reality. Hey, just follow the science, right??
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian, conservative, principal conviction, courageous, disciplined, structured, distains evil, focuses on good, represents a servant heart with the dutiful obligation to be obedient to the Lord in all I do... "He that abides in Me, & I in him, bringeth forth much fruit. For without Me, ye can do nothing..."...John 15.5
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Eligible voters must tie to the voter list and each ballot must reconcile to the # of votes.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
What a crap idea... Our Founding Fathers knew that a popular vote alone would create a monopoly within an elections process, thus causing 2-3 states the ability to control national outcomes for perpetuity... That would be a huge disenfranchisement to a vast majority of citizens everywhere, never would support such a partisan, political nightmare...
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
This should have NEVER been allowed to begin in the first place. It needs to end quicker than it started...
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I view this type of question to be more about ego, arrogance, one-upmanship, better than you than I do, racism. It's a destructive attitude that creates division, class warfare, and hate. Christian values lack in these scenario's...
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Another example of division by divisive individuals hell-bent on manipulating outcomes for personal gain...
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.
C primarily, sometimes B as we are all stewards of this earth. We need to care for it so it can continue caring for us...
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Interesting question... The sun. Other natural resources, such as wind and water, to move turbines, comes to mind...
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Maintain semblance of order, domestic tranquility, alignment with rule and regulation to keep our Constitutional Republic society structured and safe, provide for the common defense, and secure the blessings of liberty as documented in the US Constitution. Government MUST work FOR the people, not individuals working in a seat for self-gratification!
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No, never have, never will. N/A question...
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No, never have, never will. N/A question...
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
At the end of each day for every issue, my personal goal is resolution, period. It's not a political stance or view, it's more about being practical and logical with a focus on common sense and closure...
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Need to support both, independently from the other. Law enforcement is a static requirement by nature of human beings...
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I'm full 2-A and don't feel comfortable with restrictions of any kind...
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
If approved by the respective school board and if the district employee(s) desire to, it should be allowed in a concealed fashion on their 'person', inconspicuously, at all times...
