OTHER INFORMATION
In 1993, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (LPNH) booted Alciere. The party's executive committee renewed its stance against the candidate last month (6-2018), noting in a resolution that "Alciere has a history of advocating violence" and "refused to take a pledge against violence as a means of obtaining political objectives."

QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstances.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
It's not in the U.S. Constitution; and it is especially harsh to force persons who understand that abortion is murder, to pay for somebopdy else's abortion.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Disagree
The States need to prosecute the users for murder, same as if they put antifreeze in a baby's bottle; but that doesn't mean the interstate transportation of antifreeze should be banned.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Governments at all levels manipulate economic activity from A to Z, alcohol licenses to zoning restrictions, thereby picking who can be rich and who cannot. This must stop.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you repeal the law against fishing without a license, you feed him for the rest of his life.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Department of Education, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
It is a form of corruption when elected officials say, "Vote for me and I'll force them to cater at your same-sex ceremony."
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Religious beliefs are no excuse to impose a law. The only legitimate function of a government is to secure the rights of persons, not to ensure eternal salvation. Even the Jeffersonian postulate that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights is not an excuse for requiring that a government protect those rights. The work-around there is that those rights are unalienable regardless of whether they are God-given or the product of a Godless Nature.
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.
Taxpayer funded health care should be eliminated, but folks who paid into Medicare should get what they paid for. Instead of driving up the cost of insulin and then paying the higher cost for folks who cannot afford it, the government should stop driving up the cost of insulin.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Privacy is important.
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.
D.) The way to de-throne dictators is to welcome their subjects to the United States.
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?
The State of Israel was founded because Jewish folks had nowhere to go during the Shoah. The United States should have welcomed the Jewish folks to the United States instead of turning away the SS St. Louis. However, U.S. aid to Israel is not in the U.S. Constitution. While Jerusalem is special to Jews, it's not the job of the United States to defend her. Suffer the Israelis to evacuate to the United States. If you want to defend Israel, join IDF.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
However, terrorism is payback for the U.S. Government's interference in the Middle East, starting in 1953.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
"Allowed" is the wrong word, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of God's children that another enjoys the exercise of their inherent natural rights. Anybody who isn't a terrorist is entitled to relocate to the United States. The country got along just fine before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Agree
Sanctuary cities shouldn't be necessary. The whole country should be a sanctuary country. It is sad that so many persons think that the place where they were born makes themselves superior to God's children born outside some lines on the map.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Choose not to answer
I support the elimination of the U.S. department of Education and the abolition of public school.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Disagree
Voters should vote based on what they can learn from this survey and similar surveys instead of judging by what their TV spoon-feeds them.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Choose not to answer
Civil unions were a way to reduce discrimination against homosexuals while assuring the rest of us that we are superior to them, because the State gives us marriage and them something else. I don't need a paper with a fancy seal to assure myself that I am superior to homosexuals.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I accept Christ as my savior.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Neutral
In many countries, the registered vote card is the national identification card, the one that is difficult to counterfeit. However, there must be no fee for it.
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Tidal power. Every 12 hours or so, lunar gravity pulls the ocean up to the shore, and that's a lot of force to be harnessed.
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.
No.
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?
Choose not to answer
Orthodox libertarian extremist.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
This does not mean I support any specific approach to providing such protection, aside from punishing the exploiters.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None.
