With the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that embryos are children, it is more important than ever to ensure we protect the sanctity of unborn life and ensure the protection of the rights of the unborn child.

Strongly Agree

That is a trick question. Chemical abortion drugs should be outlawed, but if they are available, we definitely need to gather evidence to support the argument against them.

I am ardently pro-life, therefore, I do not believe there is an option for the slippery slope of "elective" abortion.

Yes, of course it does. Psalm 106 warns of a nation that poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. I support a ban, complete ban, on abortion. I am willing to redirect the narrative beyond just pro-life, pro-choice to the real message of class warfare, adoption options, underprivileged oppression.

Propose the Fed be required to target growth rate of money equally to growth rate of GDP. Stop fluctuation in the money supply so markets can stabilize. I will support a renewal of the TCJA and a increase in the standard deduction.

Strongly Agree

If a student takes out a loan, that student is responsible for that loan. I know of a student, an adult student, who would take out more than needed and use the excess for vacation and personal purchases. There is absolutely no room for forgiveness for these loans. This is a form of welfare fostering irresponsibility.

No

Absolutely not. ESGs provide an incomplete measure of impact on society and our measuring process often fails to provide complete and overall insight.

The state does not have the right, nor the power, to impose religious demands on the church. In my opinion, however, the church (as the bride of Christ), absolutely has a responsibility to elect principled, moral people for representation, thereby influencing outcome in government.

Strongly Disagree

Moral and religious beliefs are the thread of our being and the core of our principles, regardless of which religion. To violate that system is to denounce the code of the Declaration of Independence which allows an individual the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

None. A child leaving the safety of a mother's womb, is vulnerable until building an immune system to fight disease. I am adamantly opposed to shots for babies. Based on personal experience, I advocate against newborn shots.

D - but it would have to be phased-out over an extended period of time. The market that is free works best to meet the needs of the people. Before insurance companies the church insured the people were provided for and acted as the first insurance company in the world. At the end of the day, D will lower rates, create market competition, and handily drive prices down. Healthcare needs a reform to lower cost.

Part 1 of C is, unfortunately, where we are, Part 2 of C at "and" is where I would like to see us, but B is where we find ourselves, simply because while D sounds great as rhetoric, it is incomprehensible to think we could exist in a world with nuclear weapons and hate for America and not have skin in the game to keep our liberty secure. Every nation is a threat that is not with us. Those countries that can be an ally are the countries we may consider lending a hand to in the fight for freedom.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party is an enemy of the nation and should be treated as such.

If not for religious belief, then through historical context, there is a repeated pattern of nations aligning with Israel prospering and nations against Israel faltering. If for no other reason than to secure the hand of Providence in our favor, it is imperative we stand with Israel.

Many factors: the absence of Patriotism in the educational system, dissolution of the family, decline in American pride, removal of Americanism in our tourist destinations, social media distractions, a decline in teaching civics and history. Basically, as we erase the culture of who we are as Americans, we will see a decline in the desire to protect the "experiment" that provides our liberty. I advocate for mandatory service after graduation. So do my 3 sons - 17, 19, and 25 all newly enlisted.

Strongly Agree

This isn't even a subject for discussion, it is subject of immediate action. The penetrable southern border poses grave dangers to our national security via drugs, cartels, murder, rape, and most prominently, the fact that being here is "illegal".

Those who do so by the process established for legal immigration.

Strongly Agree

This is the clearest path to providing equal opportunity for our students and providing a level playing field in education.

Strongly Agree

That is a prominent part of my platform, and I have been advocating for this for nearly 28 years. The issue is not can we, it is will we? That starts with a principled leader changing the narrative in Washington.

Strongly Agree

No government should want to. What purpose would a government have to redefine a worldwide recognized norm that has existed for centuries. Only a government that has exalted itself to the level of having the ability to be equal in "ordaining" a definition.

Strongly Agree

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, until I was an adult. Children are born with the inability to rightly divide good and evil and until they are at an age to completely comprehend and weigh the decisions that will affect them for a lifetime, it is the responsibility of every elected official and member of society to protect that innocence.

Strongly Disagree

At no point, for no reason. Absolutely not.

I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal and are endowed by their Creator to live according to their own will and choices. For my self personally, I believe in God, the One True God, the Lord of Hosts. My belief system is regulated by His law and His standard of conduct. I do not advocate for a theocratic government, however, I would legislate according to the principles and moral conviction found within the scriptures. My views, my vision, my character attributes, and my hope for the correction of injustice have been influenced by the commands found in the Word of God.

Strongly Disagree

We show a photo ID to board a plane. How much more should we show a photo ID to cast a vote. The right to vote is so precious, it deserves to be protected by proof of identity.

Neutral

I have pros and cons: the founders created it to make sure large states did not dominate small ones and that power between Congress and state legislatures was balanced. However, that was before the influx of illegals, which the founders never foresaw, and the tilt in the electoral college based on census population. Still, a majority rules is dangerous and subject to the mood of the people rather than rationale. This is not an easy fix.

Strongly Disagree

Critical race theory replaces the ability to think, to reason, to weigh information and form an opinion. It reduces an individual to profiling and lumps all in that profile into the same group. Reasoning is no longer sound and sound bites are now the new reasoning. It is a classical "dumbing-down" of our society.

Strongly Agree

There really isn't a whole to say on this subject. If an individual is born with the anatomy that science relegates to male or female, then by birthright, that is the biological determination and that is the end of the subject.

Disagree

Things we have done, of course have cause disruption and the decline of our global integrity. In the same respect, this earth will not always be and there will come a day when the natural aging and the Biblical destruction of it will come. It does not mean we knee-jerk and politicize evidence that has existed for many years. We evaluate and use common sense to appreciate and protect our world, but not at the expense of regulation and force.

Coal is the number one energy source for electricity. Because of its abundance, reliability and affordability coal is key to alleviating energy poverty around the world.

Conservative

The idea of lining people up on a sliding scale is a little disconcerting. I believe, with an uneducated electorate, the profiling through names is confusing and damaging. If I am to be determined by the scale, I would be very conservative, preferring less government, more freedom, less regulation, more supply/demand industry, and fostering an environment where people create a market of prosperity through private partnerships.

Government exists to exercise justice, preserve liberty, and foster people's ability to live peaceful and quiet lives. In governing, it should seek, serve, and promote the common good of the people, not the good of the leaders.

No

No

Strongly Disagree

No! There was a time when 30 years was a novelty, but with longer life expectancy, justices appointed by Obama and Trump may still there in 2050. Expansion opens the door to further partisan warfare while diminishing the Court's authority. If anything, in this day and age, I would advocate for term limits to the court, albeit they may be very long term limits to allow justices to develop expertise and influence on the Court, but nonetheless, not death as the term limit.

Strongly Disagree

No, I do not advocate to "defund the police". If anything, we need to more strongly back the blue.

None! We need to give the police the resources to fight public offenders and we need to make the punishment fit the crime so that future offenders will not want to encounter the same convictions. Public safety diminishes with gun restrictions. Public safety increases with gun ownership and training. The 2nd Amendment ensures the people remain free to experience liberty. We need to change the narrative.
