QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The life of the mother.
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.
Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
We need a capitalistic economy in which goods and services are exchanged in a free market, as opposed to a state-controlled or socialist economy. Owning homes and vehicles helps citizens retain wealth. The U.S. Constitution protects citizens' right to own property.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
We all need to be paid a living wage; however, non-profits could have a lower standard if their annual income is $500,000 or less, and youth under 18 could have a lower salary.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None. The "Separation of Church and State" was intended for the government NOT to tell churches what they can and cannot do. Hands off government, even during a pandemic!
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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?
None! According to the Declaration of Independence, the government cannot tell people what they should do with their bodies or their livelihoods.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP should not be allowed to buy American property anywhere in the United States of America.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes! Israel is one of our most valued allies. The Word of God tells us I will bless those who bless you (Israel), And I will curse him who curses you. And in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 12:3 What we should do is very plain if we want our nation blessed.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We are experiencing an invasion, not a crisis at the border. It is time to take a stand and STOP the invasion!
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
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
Parents should make decisions for their children, not schools or the government.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Youth should not be able to make lifelong decisions until they mature. According to Science, the brain's frontal cortex does not fully develop until people turn 25 years old.
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
Matthew 19:4-5 Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Born Again Christian and have a relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe the Word of God is infallible. I treat others as I want to be treated and walk in love as commanded in the scriptures. I get angry at what is happening worldwide, but I know only God can help us change the craziness and regain our nation.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Only documented citizens with a photo ID should be able to vote in our elections, city, state, and nation.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
We need the Electoral College to have fair elections.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Racism is not the problem. What is dividing our nation is our educational system teaching and the government's overreach of Critical Race Theory and other forms of division.
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
The above is a common-sense issue. Let's keep our sons and daughters safe when they are in vulnerable areas, such as bathrooms and other places.
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Fossil Fuel
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Back the Blue!
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. The Red Flag laws are causing citizens to lose more and more of their rights and gun ownership.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Teachers must be trained to use firearms so that they feel safer for themselves and their students. If they do not feel safe having a gun, they have the right not to carry it.
