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?
I am 100% Pro-Life and I can not find any circumstances that abortion should be allowed.
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
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Clean energy fund, close down poorly performing government agency.
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
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
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?
Principles of Christianity are in the principals of civil government in the U.S Here is some look back: Our Nation Anthem mentions God. The Liberty Bell has a Bible verse engraved on it. The original constitution of all 50 states mentions God. Chaplains have been in the public payroll from the very beginning. Our nation's birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, mentions God four times. The Bibel was used as a textbook in the schools. Separation of Church and State is a clear message to any type of government not to interfere in religion practicing of Americans. The constitution restrictions were targeted at our government to prevent it from making a denominational religion the state church.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
First, "Obama Care" needs to be repealed. Healthcare coverages need to offer adequate packages that will appeal to the consumer. The consumer gets to choose what accessible coverages he/she needs, which is affordable to the consumer. Establishing a medication pool for everyone with pre-existing conditions. Reduce government control.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I strongly believe in the LEGAL immigration process for everyone who is seeking freedom and a better life.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
No Answer
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 believe in God The Father, God the Son, and Holy Ghost. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who made ultimate sacrifice on the Cross and shed His blood to give humanity a Salvation and rose again on the third day.
