OTHER INFORMATION

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

I am an absolute supporter of the right of unborn children to live and will protect their lives as I would every life.

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.

Choose not to answer

I do not support abortion

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I do not consider life a choice, we all have an obligation to protect life.

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 a obligation to follow the instruction of our founding documents. As the declaration of independence states, "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.". Seems simple to me, an unborn child has the right to life, period.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

We are a country founded on religious beliefs and freedom of religion, not on attacking or excluding those who have religious beliefs.

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

Strongly Disagree

A private business owner should not be forced to violate his or her religious beliefs by offering a service to accommodate another persons beliefs.


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.

As a Navy Veteran who served overseas, I do not support America acting as the world police force and entering into unprovoked wars.

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

Strongly Disagree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

As with all our allies, we should have a strong relationship with Israel, but America needs to stand for what is in our bests interests and voice our support and opposition when appropriate.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The current government has been driving patriotic Americans out of and away from the U.S. military and it needs to stop. We have a voluntary military built on pride and honor so when the government acts shamefully, and without honor, we find the honorable do not want to be a part of the military. We need our government to restore our nations honor and recruitment will be restored.


HEALTHCARE

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

Unfortunately, our Country has just lived through one of the most horrendous examples of abuse of power in o nations history in its attempt to force an experimental COVID program into the bodies of innocent Americans.

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.

Competitive private industry has proven to provide the best quality and availability of health care services. America needs to support privately ran health care if it wants the best and most affordable health care system.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

We have a blotted inefficient government. We need drastic cuts to government agencies and tax funded programs.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

Student loan forgiveness was a scam that has increased our national debt, contributed to inflations, and unfairly burdens all tax paying Americans.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

I support strong control of our nations borders, knowing who is entering our country, and enforcement of our nations immigration laws and not rewarding those who violate them.

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

We are the land of opportunity, so lets give the best and brightest from around the world an opportunity to immigrate to our country.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

Tax funds should follow the student, not be held hostage by failing schools.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

The less government the better when it comes to our children's education and I support giving back control of our educations system to the parents and local communities.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Public safety begins with the public being able to defend itself. I oppose any legislation that infringes upon the 2nd Amendment.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Disagree


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?

Moderate

Americans generally believe what I believe and for that reason, I consider myself a moderate.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Government for the people. If government is not protecting our rights and defending our freedom, it is not doing its job.

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


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

A man and women get married, every other combination is something else and they should be proud of it.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

I will defend parental rights and fight to stop the sexualization of children.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Gender transition services are child abuse and need to stop immediately.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian, Amen!


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Our nations election system has no integrity and voter Identification is a necessary step to return election integrity to our nations election system.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

The American system of government is one of the greatest in history, if it is ran properly, and the electoral college is a part of our constitutional republic we must defend.


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

CRT is part of a Marxist movement we need to abolish.

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 Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

I am not convinced.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear energy has proven to be an environmentally friendly source of electricity for Americans and other nations across the world.
