OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Abortion is murder. Life begins at conception.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Man must not play God.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only to save the life of the Mother.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Our society is a capitalist system. A man profits from his own labor, not taking from others.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Congressional overspending has caused unreasonable debt.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
An environment needs to be created so businesses can survive and profit in the United States. The taxpayer should not be overburdened with useless bureaucracies that drain their wages with unnecessary taxes,
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Religion is the founding reason for settling the United States. The Constitution clearly protects our religious freedom.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
One should never have to go against their religious beliefs or deny their God.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The state does not have the right to interfere with the Church.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
When it is not against ones religious rights. When it endangers a persons health. The government has no right over ones body.
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
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
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
Israel is our ally. God has made it clear that Israel is to be protected.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
It is not acceptable to do business with a communist country.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
If we go to war, we go to win the war. We must recognize that Islamic terrorism has one goal... to destroy Christianity.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We must put more effort to secure our own borders. The governments first priority is to protect its people.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Any person, any business, any sanctuary city that breaks immigration laws should be held accountable.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those that can prove that they are under religious persecution. Anyone that follows the legal immigration policies.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
God created man and woman. Those are the only two genders. Sexual orientations have no right to separate protection.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is nothing more than a tool to divide and indoctrinate. It is a common tool used by the communist.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I believe that he died and rose from the grave so that we might have life eternal. Jesus is the only way to the Father, and all must profess him as Lord and Savior to enter Heaven.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voting is a sacred right. Photo ID is needed to protect from voter fraud.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID. Decrease or stop early voting times. In North Carolina a person should be required to live in the congressional district to run for that elected office.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Many in the past have been treated unfairly. This includes many from Ireland. However, this was in the past hundreds of years ago. People of today should not be blamed or held accountable for the past. A person should only be held accountable for their own actions.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Many who yell and spout racism are the true racists. These include BLM, Antifa, and others.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
It is a safe way to make the United States energy self-sufficient.
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
