OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

The spark of life is when sprem hits egg. Tax payers should not have to pay for mistakes made between 2 consenting adults. Less than 2 percent of abortion is rape or medical. 98 percent is just unwanted.

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Very little if any. I would encourage a woman to carry to term and then let the baby be adopted.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Agree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

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

The tax code should be easier to read. But I also believe we shouldn't be paying taxes. The corrupt in Washington will never allow that.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

All religions

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

Disagree

If business had to uphold the constitution I wouldn't be in Facebook jail every other week

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

As stated separate. Church shouldn't be in politics and politics shouldn't be in church


HEALTHCARE

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

Never. If someone chooses to be vaccinated then it should be left there. A choice !

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. No taxpayer funded.


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 and d

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.

Choose not to answer

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

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

Eliminate all known terrorists.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Pull our military and build military bases along our southern and northern border

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

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

Properly vetted and financially stable immigrants


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Choose not to answer

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

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Can't board a plane, buy beer, drive a car, or cash a check without id. Voting should be no different

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Vote in person by paper ballot counted by actual people. The way the founders intended


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

No one alive in this day and time has ever been a slave.

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

No. The media and race baiting politicians are the threat. Everyone else wants to be left alone and doesn't care about race.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Strongly Agree

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.

A


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?

Lean Conservative

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

Fetch your news.com and Facebook when I'm not in Facebook jail.

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

No.

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

We have to get back to the constitution. We have to protect civil liberty of the American people. We must go back to a republic. We have never been a democracy.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

We need to fund police more for further education. Supreme Court laws. Constitution 101. Our officers are coming from indoctrinated schools


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Shall not be infringed

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

Strongly Disagree

The manufacturer or dealer didn't shoot anyone. Someone with evil in their heart did.
