OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I do not support the practice abortion, but I can see a compelling argument for allowing this practice in regards to Incest, rape or to save a mother's life.
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.
Strongly Agree
All prescription drugs should meet various safety standards and be monitored for potential serious side effects.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The organization's history, including their founder and many board executives is very unsavory.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I currently do not feel I have enough information to support this practice. Looking at the Canadian government, it seems they are looking for any reason to offer this practice such as depression. Their are compelling stories or situations where one might support this practice, but for the most part, it seems inappropriate.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Not enough to survive in the current economical climate. With the rise of inflation, and the cost of living, the standard of living is drastically decreasing. Americans cannot afford to feed their families or pay for vital essentials.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
With extensive government interventions on the people, we see abuse, excessive taxing and loss of fundamental Freedoms, not to mention property rights. I suggest we lead by example with our actions.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
There's no authority for such action. Separation of church and state is a real and legitimate thing, but tax incentives are making churches beholden to the state.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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) is not a bad idea. With all the tax money that is given to illegal aliens, Ukraine and other countries. Plus what is laundered away from the people to politicians.... I think we should at least have the option for certain treatments. It's the least we could spend on ourselves.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccines should never be forced! It has become known that authorities are knowingly putting in cancer causing agents such as SV40, thimerosal, aluminum, human isolated dna genes from bloodlines such as henrietta lacks, etc.... they are not safe.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
They are a give threat to the entire world. we helped build up this empire and they are far more dangerous to us than Russian. However, they do suffer their own challenges. Such as their 1 child policies and current economy.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The Israel government in my personal opinion is a predator, and we should not be in alliance with them. The state was founded at the behest of the Rothschild family and the British monarchy gave a portion of the Palestinian land to them under the impression they would not encumber the current inhabitants. However, Israel has gone on to treat their neighbors with various war crimes. The Israel lobby controls many of the politicians in the United States, and many of the laws created.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I will advocate for the Washington State Guard to be sent to help out at our southern border. This is absolutely an issue that needs more help. We're literally being invaded by people all around the world facilitated through the U.N., George Soros and other entities within our occupied government. Terrorists are most certainly crossing, this is 100 documented. Plus we are being displaced by illegals and they are given resources that are needed for our own citizens. This is all by design.
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
Absolutely! Public schools are becoming a disaster and parents should have more abilities in choosing better education. Schools are secretly vaccinating children, facilitating the changing of gender in children and full on radicalizing youth with government psychological propaganda. All not good.... Many of the teachers are leftists nut jobs as well. Of course there are some great public schools, and parents should have the right to access them if possible, or private schools.
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 is why we've seen a push to allow 16 year olds to vote. They are being targeted very early on to be minions of the state.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Parents are the ones responsible, so they absolutely should know and have the final say of their child.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Children are under the age of concent and shouldn't not have any ability to alter or engage in sex reassignment treatment.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
I think all people should enjoy the same rights and protects of a union. Grow the f up and let people live their lives. It's none of our business what other adults do or who they love.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in a spiritual creator of the universe.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
There should be absolute proof if who's voting. This should be double verified.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No.... it's all propaganda to divide and conquer the people. It's basically only an issue in today's age because it's hyped up by the government and various media organizations, all facilitated by the powers that be to make us hate each other. Sure racist people exist... but crimes committed with such intent is extremely rare.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Again.... all complete bullsh#t.
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 is obvious absurd to allow these things to happen and will further the break down of society, further confuse our youth and completely disrespect all women to not even allow them to compete in sports at their own level. If you support this... you are either a complete fool or are part of the conspiracy to destroy our country.
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.
I'm for common sense regulations that are viable and legitimate. We should be good stewards to the planet, but we are being lied to about climate change to give up out rights and Freedoms, all while the ability to modify the weather on a global scale exists.... This question does not get to the root of the issue.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Hydrogen and fusion make the most sense to me at this point.
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.
If I have... they've been expunged.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To serve [we] the people
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?
Moderate
I am more libertarian
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Neutral
Law enforcement need better funding and training. I advocate for randomized urine analysis, body cameras and routine random ride along audits. Police are needed, but are being also weaponized against the public. Private police forces are a legitimate option, since their is no legal obligation for law enforcement to protect the public.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Zero. The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! Shall, means cannot... not sometimes maybe. Gun control only disarms the public and gives a greater advantage to criminals.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
I advocate for all schools to have armed guards.
