Strongly Disagree
3. The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree
4. Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry of persons into the country.
Strongly Agree
5. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.
Strongly Agree
6. Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
7. Marriage is a union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
8. Efforts to bring Islamic law (shariah) to America do not pose a threat to our country and its Constitution.
Strongly Disagree
9. Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

10. Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions when these are not economically feasible.
Strongly Disagree
11. More restrictive gun control laws are needed now to protect public safety.

Strongly Agree
13. People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
All rights come from God. For the purposes of what Government is necessary a few of these rights are delegated to the States and even fewer to the National Government. Individual citizens retain all others. The defining, separation and limitations of power are to preserve this distribution of rights.
15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
#1 Jobs - Number one issue and need. Nothing addresses more social ills than a good paying job. #2 Less Regulations - Regulation compliance is making American Business and Industry uncompetitive. #3 Energy Security - We must shut off our dependence on the middle east for energy. We are blessed with the domestic natural resources to accomplish this. Energy production must be left to the States for oversight not the Federal government.

Life of the Mother at risk
