QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

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.

Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Mother dyeing or life-threatening medical condition directly related to pregnancy, or fetus is terminal in uterus.

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

The federal government has no role to play in private, personal, and confidential female health matters. These matters are controlled by each state where the woman chooses to reside.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

BASTA! The Prices are Too Damned High! Inflation must contained, which only will happen with reduced spending and borrowing by the federal government, the source of all inflation.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Agree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

BASTA! Separation of Church & State..........means nothing. There is no statutory Constitutional basis for this term. Constitutional references to religion are present to prevent State Churches like England and European countries.

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

Agree


HEALTHCARE

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

BASTA! Vaccinations are a proven and valid public health measure to prevent societal disease. However, vaccinations are not 100% foolproof and guaranteed to work, especially new and novel vaccines that are required even without clinical trials.

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.

BASATA! Medicare is projected to be bankrupt in future years but presently is solvent based on current age and contribution requirements. Medicare must be reformed with the entitlement initiation age raised to reflect longer lifespans by recipients.


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.

BASTA! The Constitution is clear, US MUST SOLVE ALL WORLD CONFLICTS.......not. The only historic constitutional basis for foreign engagement is to protect US interests, which started with the US Navy & Marines in the 1700s to protect the US shipping trade from Middle Eastern pirates.

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

Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

BASTA! Israel must keep its promise to itself and the world by adopting a real written Constitution instead of the piecemeal unwritten basis for governance. Israel is the ONLY democracy in the Middle East and stands as a bulwark ally against bad actors who attack US assets.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The single biggest reason for declining military recruitment is a dearth of positive media treatment of our military. The second reason is shrinking presence of ROTC programs on high school and college campuses. No attention and bad school administrative intent leads to low recruitment.


IMMIGRATION

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?

BASTA! My family is an immigrant family on both sides, legal and fully American US Citizens! Folks who want to live in the US must complete an application for evaluation BEFORE entering the US. All legal immigrants must be fully vetted for background and health before admission.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

BASTA! Bad News Bears.............Common Core Curriculum from US Dept. Ed is the prime example of bad policy. The actual curriculum, by way of example, eliminated cursive writing, leaving our students unable to sign their names or read our Constitution.


VALUES

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Agree

BASTA! Marriage is a Bible-described relationship that is blessed and considered. Marriage is also fundamentally a contract between two people to perform under the state's laws where marriage takes place. It is a private contract witnessed in public, hence weddings.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a believer. The Bible is the word of God given to us for the practice of a worthy life whilst we are here on earth. I believe in the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. I believe we are all sinners who can never live up to God's standards. We can & should pray to our Father for forgiveness, absolution, and life guidance. God Bless US All ! ! !


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Disagree

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.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

BASTA! Clean Nuclear with the federal government keeping its broken promise to dispose of waste. The federal government has NOT kept this promise in over fifty years. BASTA! It must stop.


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?

Conservative

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

BASTA! The government that governs best is the one that governs least. The federal government must protect its citizens internationally and at the border. The government has taken on responsibility for the currency, creating the worst inflation ever. BASTA! The border must be secured, and US engagements overseas must be limited to direct threats to the US.

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.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

NONE.
