QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Abortion is a personal decision and choice for which others should not be forced to affirm by their financing.
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.
Strongly Agree
Any and every drug made available should meet the highest safety standards.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None. The doctor's Hippocratic oath says that he/she will do no harm. A society is measured by how it protects its most vulnerable.
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 in the private choices of citizens.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Did not answer
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly 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?
The state has no role to play in church affairs.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
none
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.
C
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.
C
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and has historically been working with US interests in the region.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Young men no longer see the honor of serving the country, seeing the military has lost its purpose, succumbed to the culture war, does not support veterans and have lessened the benefits of service.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
JUST DO IT!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration has historically been meritorious with allowances for asylum seekers. New immigrants need to evidence their desire to unite with Americans, become productive, contributing citizens and acculturate by formally attesting such, and having a basic proficiency in spoken and written English. Without such basic entry requirements, we are contributing to their lack of success in building a new life with many opportunities and instead will support ethnically entrapped communities .
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
The public school system is failing a number of groups of students. People pay taxes for the education of their children and should be able to choose which educational institution will best provide the preparation for an independent, productive life enabled to make choices to take advantage of the opportunities to come.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
It’s difficult to find the value added by the US Department of Education. Local authority is best because it is best equipped to make dynamic decisions based on its communities' needs, resources, constituents and end-users.
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.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
There is one God. Life's journey and contentment comes from building a personal relationship with God, Who leads in one's purpose to live to one's maximum potential as best as he/she can.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You need a photo id to get a library card. There's ONLY one reason to not require one to vote. If someone is not able to get an ID, it's unlikely they will be in a position to read and make informed choices on a ballot.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
Vital interests, such as farming, not represented by its numbers, would not be given fair representation .
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
The outcome of inculcating a victim mentality makes this curricula devastating to a healthy esteemed society.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Nuf' said.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
The control over information has allowed the narrative about climate crises to resurrect in order to establish controls over personal rights that cannot be allowed.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
natural gas
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?
Government is meant to establish the laws and enforcement framework to provide for the maximum safety and prosperity of its people.
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
If the proposed additions to the court is made in defiance of a perceived ideological shift in its new composition, allowing this will only undermine the integrity of its decisions and its credibility as an institution going forward.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
All law enforcement agencies must be held to high standards of performance, and recognition of the need for officers to be responsive to the community in which they serve has long been recognized, with sensitivity programs in place, or can be established. This does not mean that community programs can themselves achieve the rigor that law enforcement demands to maintain safety.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Restrictions on felon and the mentally infirmed need to be vetted and enforced. Beyond that, I believe the 2nd amendment says, "...shall not be infringed."
