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
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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CASES. RAPE OR MOLESTATION. IF THE VICTUM CANNOT CARRY THE CHILD TO FULL TERM TO EITHER KEEP OR ADOPT OUT, THAT WOULD STRICTLY BE HER CHOICE. BUT WITHIN A TIMELY MANNER, NO GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE THIS ON A WOMAM WHO WAS RAPED OR MOLESTED. IMMINENT DEATH OF THE WOMAN. IF VERIFIED BY MEDICAL AUTHORITIES, THEN THE WOMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE IF SHE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE PREGNANCY. STILL THE WOMANS CHIOCE, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS. BUT THIS ALSO NEEDS TO BE DECEIDED QUICKLY. THERE SHOULD BE ONLY A FEW CLINICS THAT WILL DO THIS PROCEDURE. NOT ONE ON EVERY CORNER.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
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?
KEEP THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF IT! AND ANY OTHER POLITICIAN'S HANDS OUT OF IT. MAKE THEM RETURN THE MONEY BACK TO US AFTER WE ENFORCE TERM LIMITS ON EVERYONE AND TAKE AWAY THE PAYMENT OF THEIR SALARIES TO THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. ALL OF THAT MONEY THEY DO NOT DESERVE WILL PROBABLY REPLENISH THE FUNDS TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. BUT REALLY, UNTIL I WOULD GET THERE TO SEE WHAT MESS IT IS IN HOW CAN I ANSWER THAT? MAYBE OFFER THE YOUNGER GENERATION ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE TO GETTING SOCIAL SECURITY.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
PAYING THE DEMOCRATS AND A FEW REPUBLICANS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, SINCE THEY DID ABSOLUTLY NOTHING! WELL, REDUCE ALL OF THE UNNECESSARY COMMITTEES, THE DUPLICATE ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT THAT DO THE EXACT SAME THING, MAKE SOCIAL SERVICES REALLY MORE EFFICENT BY PROVIDING MORE PERSONNEL TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE WELFARE SYSTEM, THAT THOSE REQUIRING IT REALLY NEED IT, AND THOSE THAT DO NOT ARE REMOVED. I'M SURE THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS THAT CPOULD BE REDUCED.
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?
THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T TREAT ME ANY DIFFERENT FROM ANY ONE ELSE BECAUSE OF MY BELIEFS.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
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?
AS A MILITARY SPOUSE ON TRICARE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY GOOD INSURANCE. AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF MILITARY AND FAMILY MEMBERS ON THIS. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS WOULD BE A GREAT MODEL FOR THE POSSIBLE ANSWER TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL.
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
FIRST, GET THOSE WHO SHOW A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT. WE CLEARLY HAVE TERRIOSTS IN OUR HOUSE AT THIS TIME. ONCE A LINK TO ANY TERRIOST ORG IS SHOWN, THAT SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC. OUR PRESIDENT IS DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. GET TRUTHFUL, PATRIOTIC LEADERS AROUND HIM AND LET THE MILITARY DO THEIR JOB. WE NEED TO WIN THE WAR OR BATTLE, NOT BECOME POLICE. TAKE OUT THE HEADS OF THE SNAKES AND THE SNAKES WILL DIE.
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.
Strongly Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
ONLY THOSE VETTED AND ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES WITHOUT GOING ON OUR WELFARE SYSTEM. IF THEY ARE CLAIMING ASYLUM FOR POLITICAL/RELIGIOUS REASONS, THERE BETTER BE UNDENIABLE PROOF. BUT WE NEED TO REVAMP OUR SYSTEM TO SPEED UP THIS PROCESS.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I AM A MEMBER OF SHEPHERDS CHAPEL'S OUT OF GRAVETTE ARKANSAS, PASTOR ARNOLD MURRAY HAS TAUGHT ME THE BIBLE CHAPTER BY CHAPTER AND VERSE BY VERSE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN HISTORY, AND SEE THE EVIL THAT IS IN OUR GOVERNMENT AT THIS TIME, WITH ALL OF THE CORRUPTION AND LIES. THE UN-GODLINESS BEING SHOVED DOWN OUR CHILDRENS THROATS IN SCHOOL, ALL THE WAY TO COLLEGE. WE CHRISTIANS NEED TO CHANGE THIS NOW. WE DO NOT NEED OUR GOVERNMENT TEACHING OUR CHILDREN ABOUT SEX OR OTHER LIFE STYLES, THAT IS THE PARENTS JOB. I BELIEVE IN RELIGOUS FREEDOM UNTIL YOU INFRINGE ON ANOTHERS. I BELIEVE IN GOD. BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD FORCE ANYONE TO FEEL AS I DO. I BELIEVE IN LIVE AND LET LIVE, UNLESS YOU INFRINGE ON ANOTHER. I BELIEVE IN FAMILY, I LOST MY HUSBAND DANNY IN NOVEMBER AFTER 37 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, WE STUCK IN THERE! I BELIEVE IN AMERICA, AND WILL FIGHT WITH AND FOR THIS PRESIDENT TO ENSURE WE DO NOT BECOME A COMMUNIST COUNTRY.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
LOOK AT MY FACEBOOK OR TWITTER PAGE. THAT'S ALL I GOT. I AM NOT A POLITICIAN.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I AM NOT A POLITICIAN, BUT I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND I LOVE MY STATE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE A THORN IN THE SIDE OF THOSE THAT HAVE JUST GOT ALONG, AND HAVEN'T TRIED TO IMPROVE IN SO MANY AREAS OUR STATE AND COUNTRY NEED. TAXES, EDUCATION, CORRUPTION NOT ADDRESSED, WASTED TAX DOLLARS ON WHAT? WE NEED TO ENVOKE TERM LIMITS ON ALL OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL OFFICES TO ENSURE EVIL CANNOT TAKE HOLD, NEW IDEAS ARE INTRODUCED. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
WHAT IS BEING DONE NOW. YOU CANNOT STOP CRAZY. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, EXCEPT HAVE MORE LEGAL GUN OWNERS CARRY AND NO MORE GUN FREE ZONES. IF THE CRIMINAL THINKS SOMEONE COULD PROTECT HIS VICTUMS, HE MAY THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly 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?
ENSURING ABORTION SERVICES ARE NOT OFFERED IN KY. GETTING OUR RANKING IN EDUCATION OUT OF THE 40'S. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP OUR TEACHERS EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN BETTER. LEGALIZING GAMBLING AND MARIJUANA TO GENERATE REVENUE TO HELP WITH THE ABOVE.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
NO. AS A MILITARY SPOUSE I HAVE WORKED WITH ALL RACES, AND FOR THE MOST PART I DON'T SEE RACISM. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT RACISM STILL EXISTS, BUT NOT ON THE SCALE THAT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HAS TRIED TO MAKE US BELIEVE. SINCE THE END OF SLAVERY, I FEEL EACH GENERATION HAS TRIED TO INSTILL IN THEIR CHILDREN, THEN THEIR CHILDREN, THAT THE COLOR OF ONE'S SKIN IS GOD GIVEN, AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE THE PERSON. IN AMERICA, ANYONE CAN BE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE, IT'S UP TO THEM, YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY.
