OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Rape. Incest Life of mother


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Free drugs to drug addicts : over half a trillion a year . Methadone suboxone and narcan to start. End Social security to every person that has an easy diagnosis that now qualifies. Too many healthy adults and children and multiple children families getting checks for every family member .


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Strongly Agree

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

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

To me there is no separation between this Christian nation and it’s people . All established religions should be able to celebrate their customs and traditions . If it’s a one God based faith without violence or hate it should be free to be in the public square and school .


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Public private option ! Must be state by stars using Medicaid fior the poor emergency rooms and a fair way of funding so our working people don’t pay for those who refuse to work . We need a consumption tax to replace the high premiums deductibles and co pays for our workers . Our workers are paying too much fir everyone else . It’s a Republican idea based on Romney’s Massechusetts plan but better . It’s complicated but I understand it


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Strongly Agree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

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

Skilled workers who can pass the most stringent background checks .


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a born again Christian ( 1973)

I believe that all of our problems both economically and socially can be aided through true conservatism . We must cut the give away programs . We will destroy this country if we don’t stop the out of control debt . We must get back to a christian way of living ! The truth is right at hand but we’ve stopped teaching how to find the truth . We must teach history and geography so our young people know where we came from and where we could be going
