OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Disagree

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.

Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

It is none of the federal governments' job to micromanage it citizens. I am running for federal office.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure 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

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

I wouldn't. I would fight the federal government overreach that stole from my parents with the promise government would take care of their needs when they were elderly and retired and their money would be there when they needed it. The same government continually stole that money from them and spent it on pet projects or siphoned it to corrupt politicians. Why would I continue that practice to future generations is a better question.

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

ALL OF IT!

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

None.


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

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?

It means to me the founders of our nation knew the dangers of having a unified church (Leader of the Anglican Church) and state (the King). The State and The Church are massive organisations that help direct life to their members. Remember it was against church teachings to question the king. I somehow bet it was illegal to question the king.


HEALTHCARE

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

Strongly Disagree

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Strongly Disagree

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

Get the government out of it and allow some simple economic principles called Capitalism and supply and demand solve the issue.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Agree

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

Engage in total war and leave once the enemy (whatever/whoever it is) is killed or get the hell out of there. Quit being the world police.


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.

Neutral

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.

Neutral

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.

Agree

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Neutral

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

Anybody that is not an enemy of the state and a threat to it's citizens. The system to legal immigrate into the United States of America should reflect one of the core tenets of our nation, by working hard anybody can make a better life for themselves and their family.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree


iVoterGuide Notes:

After the voter guide was published, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this survey question should have been ‘Strongly Disagree’.


VALUES

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

That is between my maker and me.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

No Answer

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

How can I prove how I think? Not only that, how can I prove to a reader I think what I think and that both the reader and myself think what I typed accurately reflects what I think. I am a Libertarian. Feel free to visit my website WaceyAlphaCodyforCongress.com for more info.

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

Nope.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I believe people are better at running their lives and providing for their families than government can. As such government is a necessary evil. Also, creating a likert scale (Questions 1-27) for very complex socio-ecomic processes is kind of a copout.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

There is a small thing called the 2nd Amendment that states it is outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. Since I am running for a federal office, my role is to refer to the Constitution, GUN CONTROL IS OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Neutral

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

1. My role is to represent the people of my district if elected. As such, how can I promise anything other than to fight for the Constitution (which is my job description) and them. 2. Politicians make unrealistic promises that satisfy special interests and hope to to get them elected. 3. There are too many laws...

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

I suppose one's opinion on that depends on whether on not your boss is racist and you are the race he/she dislikes. That would affect my "domestic security." Are there racist people in our nation? Yes. Hopefully the good people out number the racist assholes though.
