QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Disagree
Interferance with someone elses family decisions is not what government is for.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Disagree
You are kidding, right?
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
It depends on private, personal stuff, that is not public business.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Feudalism, is where the king gives land to his friends, who then own the people living there. Trickle down is the same thing, done with tax policy. The Union party, of which I am the sole member, doesn't do trickle down. It's a consumer economy. To sell widgets, people have to get paid. Wage reform ; increase minimum wage 3% faster than inflation, untill it's caught up. Tax reform ; $50K a head deduction. Health care reform : everyone. Teach kids how to buy a house, then help them do it. Early.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Agree
We all have a right the other fellow pay his taxes.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Disagree
The government should stop giving everything to the rich. I want the useful, tool like government Gene Roddenberry built a sci-fi franchise around. This means funding health care. I reject the idea we can't afford ourselves.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
I'm fairly sure this dog has been walked.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Imaginary place, 50 homes. Everyone uses the gas & grocery right there, except that one Couple the store owner doesn't like. Moral objections. Those two gals have to drive 100 miles to buy gas. Is this the World you want to allow ? Not me.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The history of Europe is awash in blood spilt for god. Keeping god away from government prevents religious fanatics having ready to armies. Which they would use to inflict their special blend of god on the rest of us. The only thing more personal than deciding you're going be a mother is shoving a god down your throat. Not what the government is for.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
I am for option 'A'. Full insurance for everyone, similar to Medicare. I am on Medicare, and feel very well taken care of.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Choose not to answer
"...to assess the economic burden of treatment." Again with the 'can't afford ourselves' stuff. It's odd. In a cold, sharklike way. You kind of get the feeling of being eyeballed by a predator. Just exactly who thinks they can't afford us? That doesn't sound like us. It sounds like an owner.
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.
Pax Americana is over. What comes next will be different, new, and scary. I recall an African legislator who spoke for keeping borders where they are, even though they are often arbitrary lines drawn by generals passing through on the way to glory. However dissatisfied we may be with our borders, doing anything about it is the worst thing that can happen. Because then you get things like Ukraine and Palestine.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Suppose 250,000 Chinese Soldiers just suddenly got off containerships in Puget Sound If they want to Pearl Harbor us, this is how. I sincerely hope western Washingtons National Guard Armories are well stocked.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel is the only ally we have left. And is the only ally I would dump. Right now. I am very sad about all our alliances crumbling the way they have.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Choose not to answer
I anticipate there will be a strike on the wrestling match at the Whitehouse. Which is only fair. Trump wiped out Irans leadership.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
This is a problem. The Lankford bill was ditched. The law still reads they way it did, but we are acting as if the law said what the republicans want. ICE is wandering around without warrents just grabbing people and taking them to concentration camps, where they disappear. "Border security" is a red herring. The real deal is, ICE will grab the political opposition and make them vanish.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Agree
Shouldn't be neccesary. Untill you get arrested for something there is no reason to notice your citizenship.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
This is just wrong. I want to be able to trust doctors educated in the Bible Belt. Education is not a political football, and fund your private school privately.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Choose not to answer
I have met a good many different kinds of people.
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
It is almost certianly true two of the ten humans nearest you, now, are gay. And if they want to get married, I think they are making a mistake, but...
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
When I was younger I invented a religion. For study purposes. Not a real religion, a model. It's got the big 3 ; Who is Steve? What does Steve want? Does Steve really exist? It's got a ritual, where the one fellow tells the other fellow about the big 3. And at least once a year we try to say "All hail Steve!" to a stranger. There is one rule a devout Stevist will never break, we don't wave when hailing Steve. It might look like a salute Elon Musk popped twice, with sound effects. That won't do.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Agree
The folks who send me my ballot put my name and address on it. And, when I send if back, they check my signature. How could they possibly do that ? It's a mystery. I wonder if some people will ever figure it out.
EQUALITY
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 Disagree
I don't want the governmnt checking what's in peoples pants in public restrooms. Something about minding your own g-d d----d business. In 250 years we haven't thought of this, who keeps bringing it up, now? My thought is he needs to shut up and we need to move on. Looking in your pants, suddenly, is not what the government is for.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Let me rephrase that ; what is my favorite power plant? The liquid Fluoride Thorium reactor. Google, read Wiki. This reactor can fly. And yes, that's a stupid idea. Unless it's in Space. Or on the Moon. Mars. Antarctica. Arizona. Any place, really.
ABOUT YOU
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.
Yes. And I'm suing. I was attacked in the park adjacent to my house. Amphibious assault. When gal objected being taken to a fight, he explained he was armed. I got that way. Made him stop. Turns out, he's a cop. I had to plead to a constitutional right to avoid 6 years. Then there is the torture. Getting your 'don't go blind' medicine in the Thurston County jail is unlikely. Publc Defender says Torture treaty applies to other countries. Boys ; tuck $20 in your wallet, so you can call bailbond.
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?
Liberal
We hold these truths self evident, that all Men are created equal, that governments are made by men to preserve their rights. And it goes on. If it seems woke, that's because you know what woke means . You can only be so far right in this country before you are wrong.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Choose not to answer
Jeffery Epstine. Do it for the children. Get those people out of power.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I am doubtful of those triggers that shoot more than once at a time.
