OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Agree

I am pro life.

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

Neutral

That would be a decision best made by the parties involved.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

This would be a matter for the states to decide for themselves but no tax money should be involved.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Disagree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Agree

Some of these drugs are not safe.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

This was made very evident by the writings of our nations founders.

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Disagree

We already have a graduated income tax. In states where the M.O. seems to be making the rich pay more, they just move out. California and New York are good examples of this.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Agree

We need to reduce the percentage of national dept as it relates to Gross National Product (GDP). The government is marching towards $41 trillion in dept. We have to cut spending, not tax more.

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

The Congressional Pig Book published annually by Citizens Against Government waist (CAGW) is a great tool that I would refer to. I would start by reducing improper payments. Billions are being sent to improper recipients. Eliminate earmarks. Stripping pork barrel projects from federal budget bills. The GAO Annual Report highlights hundreds of specific areas where federal agencies overlap or waist funds.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

That exact phrase does not appear in the Constitution. State sponsored religions are not to be allowed.


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.

Medicaid and Medicare should remain available. Fraud takes up 10%-20% of total Medicaid spending nationally, more if you add unintentional paper and billing errors. Updating their IT system would help in combating these issues.

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

Disagree


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.

C) Our founders were very clear on this matter!

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

Agree

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

Recent polls show an astounding 70-point collapse in support for Israel over the past eight years. We have gotten way too entangled with Israel. We need to wean ourselves from their dominance.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Only those who can be vetted.

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

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

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

Agree

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.

Agree

If someone wants to do this as an adult, fine. There are too many stories of someone having this done as a minor who later regretted it.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Agree

Although I agree with this, it is a state issue. The federal government should stay out of it.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God, and his son Jesus Christ, and love your neighbor as your self.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

Wyoming's requirements are fair. Some are photo, some not. Again, a states issue.


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 Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Clean coal technology. Nuclear (using new technology) .


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.

No

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?

Conservative

The Constitution is my guide. The debates they had, the letters they wrote.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

The government can only do so much. I would hope the parent(s) would play an active roll in this as well.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

If you have been convicted of a violent crime you should not have a gun. There has been numerous case studies and stories about the benefits of protecting yourself with a firearm.
