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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Life begins at conception and abortion is the taking of a human life.


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

Congress should pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Strongly Agree

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

The nature of limited government means that government should not attempt to play a role in boosting the economy . There is no doubt that government policies have an effect on the economy, but this should not be done in an effort to manipulate the economy.

What changes should be made to the tax code?

I would be in a favor of a simplified tax code and with the right elements, a flat tax.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Tax cuts have the greatest effect on unemployment as businesses reinvest in their companies and often times hire more workers.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

We must first ask if future generations want that guarantee and discuss the opting out of social security for younger Americans.


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.

Agree


HEALTHCARE

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

Strongly Disagree

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

I would repeal ObamaCare and call for a market based solution. The American free -enterprise system is the best solution to our nation's healthcare coverage issue but it only works with ObamaCare repealed.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

The United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies.

Agree

Islamic law (Sharia) should take precedence over national and state laws where there are Islamic majority communities in the U. S.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree

The United States should protect its sovereignty from the United Nations.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

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

This is a national security issue and we should properly fund and empower the experts in our military to handle this situation.


EDUCATION

Tuition-free public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Are rights come from God, not government and this is the basis for the checks and balances present in the Constitution.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and my faith in Christ guides my decision making on personal, professional and political matters.
