RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I am pro-life. I support abortion when the life of the mother is threatened and when rape and incest are involved. I generally agree with Florida law with respect to abortion.

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

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Choose not to answer


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

We should do whatever is possible to reduce the amount of state and federal taxes owed by our citizens.

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

Department of Education should be reduced, the size of government should be reduced, certain entitlement programs should be reduced or eliminated to the extent possible.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

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

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.

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

Covid-19 vaccinations, which are still largely experimental, which have not been in anyone's body on earth for longer that approximately 3 years (such that we do not know the long term effects of these vaccines), and which have be repeatedly proven not to prevent a person getting Covid, should NOT be required by government, schools or employers.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

The US must do and devote whatever resources it can, militarily, financially, through control of our borders and the immigration system, etc. to eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Vigorously investigate, apprehend, charge and convict those involved in fraudulent voter activities.


EQUALITY
