OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Any.

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.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

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

We should restore the tax code as it was during the administration of President Eisenhower.

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

Military, by at least 50%.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

1) Violation of building codes, including, but not limited to fire codes. 2) Tax evasion.


HEALTHCARE

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.

A

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

When a pandemic has been declared.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Stop killing those of the Islamic faith.

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.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

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

Neutral

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

The same standards should be applied today as were applied when Europeans entered North America in the Sixteenth Century.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

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 gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Agree

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 Disagree

Such a position is bull [excrement].

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Agree

That's a simplification of CRT, but I'll go with it.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

To think I can "briefly" describe my beliefs in such matters is silly.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Agree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

The 2020 elections were the most secure in our Nation's history.


EQUALITY

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

Yes. White, Christo-fascists are trying to take over this country, and through violence if they deem it necessary.

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

Strongly Agree

White people already received reparations during the Civil War (in D.C. for "losing" property).


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

B.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Maintain order and prevent theft.

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?

Very Liberal

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Google my name.

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

I take it that this group supports trump. To ask such a question as this, in light of whom you support, is absurd.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

We should legalize all drugs and outlaw private correctional facilities.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Disagree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Restore the 2nd Amendment to its original purpose. Also, outlaw assault-style weapons. Our best course of action would be to follow what Australia did in the mid-1990s.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Agree
