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

Taxpayer funds are stolen funds.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

That is a medical ethics question. I am not a medical ethicist. I am personally pro-life.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Neutral

I don't play with absolutes. I am not a Sith.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

I don't play with absolutes. I am not a Sith.

Eliminate it.

The state does not own us.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Switch to user fees. Lower taxes. Balanced budgets.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The state is religiously neutral.

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

Strongly Disagree

Private businesses can set their own standards for associations and decent people can then discriminate against awful businesses.


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 not going to choose an answer that is written for me.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

Only if it is a database of politicians.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Neutral

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

Stop obsessing on Israel.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Agree

Let each locality decide.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

Federalization is terrible.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Disagree

Stop banning stuff.


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

The state is not our daddy.

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Neutral

I am not playing this game.

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

Government should be out of marriage.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Expansion? If it expands, it expands.

I am not playing this game.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Neutral

I am not a scientist and do not have this knowledge.

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

Not educated in that topic enough to give an answer.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Stop playing Muslim scare tactics, but aspects of that law system are incompatible with liberty. As is some of non-Sharia law.
