OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never. There have been stories of women expecting a child with terminal conditions and the baby in the womb has actually helped the mother survive. For example, a woman in the UK was expecting twins and they kicked her tumor loose.... Besides, the exceptions that are usually expected are usually less than 1% of all abortions.
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.
Strongly Disagree
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?
It should be a reasonable amount. But not like California.
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?
They never should unless for proven terrorist activity. For example, terrorist activity out of places of worship, as has happened recently in Gaza.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
If I am a stone mason, I should not be forced to carve swear words, God's Name in vain, or porn onto tombstones or related items. This applies widely to quite a lot of different occupations.
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
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
It should never be a requirement for employment. The government should not force it on anyone for any reason.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Extremely important as they are the only democracy in the Middle East as well as their place in the Bible.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
It should be closed and never open. We should do all we can to encourage legal immigration.
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.
Neutral
I would like to see a tax credit established for parents to use for their child's education.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
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
This would also apply to a man having multiple wives or a woman having multiple husbands. As well as marriage to animals. Or marriage to yourself, which has happened.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe the Bible is the Word of God. Based off the Word of God, religious freedom in America is extremely important. I also believe that the Bible teaches religious freedom and freedom of religion and that Christians should respect other religions, or no religion. Respect of other religions doesn't mean we agree with their religious tenants, but it means we should treat them with kindness, love and respect.
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.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. It is not a threat to domestic security. Having said no, I do believe that racism does exist, but not to the extent that the media or the CRT people say it does.
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.
a, c Net metering would deal with power company monopolies and keep electricity costs down. Otherwise, we will continue to see energy costs go up. It would make the electrical grid more stable as well.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Drill, Baby, Drill..Coal, Nuke power, natural gas and solar with parameters- i.e.,- buffer zones, setbacks on land, ALWAYS combined with agriculture (Agrivoltics). Net metering should be brought back as it would make the electrical grid more stable.
ABOUT YOU

No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To punish evil and reward the good.
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?

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted felons should not have guns. Gun laws on the books should be enforced.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Israel allows their teachers to carry guns and have few school shootings.
