RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Necessary situations in which the mother's life is in danger.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Agree

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Agree

Keep a Free Market system allowing individuals and businesses to engage freely with each other.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

You need to expand on this question, too vague.


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.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

You are spot on in all areas.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Note: there are all forms and groups of terrorism. If we are aware of a planned attack, "rattling sabers", we should publicly address it/ make notice. Some groups just make Noise. We should have accurate intelligence and take necessary action.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Vaccination is a personal decision, each individual should choose due to their medical and moral beliefs.

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.

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Agree

This is one of the Planks of my Platform, decreasing the size of the Federal Government. Focusing on eliminating or decrease spending of Branches, Offices and Programs targeting reducing the National Debt.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

I would replace both staff of the Internal Revenue Service and the 7000+ page tax code and replace it with a Flat Tax System, with a variable 17 percent from the payroll and a variable 17 percent from the profit of corporations.

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Those who go through the proper processing procedures established by the Federal Government. Immigrants must prove that they have the resource or skills to sustain themselves.

They must also have an established time they will be in the country, designated location, and be sponsored.

ABOUT YOU

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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

OK

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

NO

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I am very concerned about the Economy and the National Debt. I'm also concerned about the present taxation system to the point of wanting a seat on the Ways and Means Committee. I also will be Direct about reducing Federal Spending. I believe in Deregulating, freeing the Market, and freeing people to take care of themselves. "I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but to leading them or driving them out of it." Benjamin Franklin.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Neutral

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a Non-denominational Christian. Values of Love, Kindness, and Honesty to Others. I try to be patient and tolerant and use discernment.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Do away with ballot drop boxes and uncertified mail-in ballots. Assure that the voter registration is current and up to date.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Disagree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Not. It's Democrat Rhetoric and Propaganda. Plain Scare Tactics.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Agree

Companies that intend to frack must have a permit with a descript procedure from beginning to end and should be closely monitored by documentation. Band fracking in fault line areas.

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.

(A). Absolutely! The Environmental Protection Agency over-regulates. EPA should be taken from the Federal government and handed to each state to monitor.
