QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only if the mothers life completely depends on it.
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.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minium Wage was not designed for Full Time Career Jobs, though it is being used that way now. Saying that someone can't make a living on a Minimum Wage is logical because it wasn't designed to provide a living. It was designed for part time wages.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
This has occured and been reiterated because we have become a "Sue Happy" society. This takes enormous rights from the Buisness owner giving the Individual additional rights. They already had the right to not shop or aquire services at that Buisness. But if the Buisness says they refuse or or maybe they don't even have the ability to provide product or service, they now risk legal action being taken against them. What if Businesses sued because an Individual decided not use "Them"?
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.
C taxpayer funded should be for those incapable of providing for their own healthcare. And those that have paid for such Benefits through decades of Taxes in their retirement.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None, I think there is an extreme distrust in vaccinations that has grown enormously over the last few years. There have been attempts to provide exemptions but often those exemptions were not accepted.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
That is just fact not really a question.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Absolutely, if not our closest Allies one of them. And if we don't back our Allies why should they back us. There is the Perception to others that at some time could become a factor also.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The Safety Factor is the biggest issue I have with this. We don't know who it is coming to the US that might be a Danger to US citizens. But we Do know that Fentanyl is crossing and killing US citizens at an Alarming rate.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
As a parent one should always want what is Best for their child, this helps provide that. The Parent could easier make the decision which education best fits and is best for the child. I believe it could help with Special Education Funding too. If a child requires more funding for special needs then it would be allocated to the entity providing it.
VALUES
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
In today's society there are many entities attempting to make decisions for the parent. Parents should care for and have the best interests of the child in mind, therefore be in the in the best position for making the welfare decisions in regards to the child in most cases. There a few exceptions.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I believe in Strong Family Bonds. I am a Conservative. Less Government, Less Regulations, Less Taxes.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Neutral
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Sure, we have seen many instances where race was a factor in acts of violence.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
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
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C- and some of the so called environmental alternatives are not only not as productive but are not as "environmental" as most people think they are.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I don't have a Most, and believe we need to continue to use Multiple sources for our energy needs.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Um no
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
It should be to provide the Will of the people. But has become a provider of more and more services and maintenance of infrastructure and utilities.
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?
Very Conservative
I have been ranked one of the highest Conservatives by multiple rankings
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We have an enormous amount of Restrictions and Laws and if Law Enforcement given the right and ability to enforce those laws,I believe what is there is sufficient. But there is a second part beyond Law Enforcement and that is Prosecution and the Court System. And in many cases it is in need of repair or personnel replacement in order to facilitate the adherence to Law.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Neutral
I believe in Medical, for several personal reasons. But am just not as passionate about Recreational.
