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
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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
A pregnancy should only be ended when the mother's life is in danger.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
The supreme court has ruled that abortions are not a constitutional protection or right and therefore any and all proposed legislation relating to abortion that might come across my desk in DC would be pushed back to the States.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It simply means that we do not have a single "approved" national religion as England has. It was never intended to remove God in Heaven from our government. He is the original founding Father of this covenant nation. God's removal has allowed the infiltration of marxism into our nation and is causing decay of our morals and culture. We need God back in our schools, our businesses, our homes, our hearts and in our GOVERNMENT. Our rights do not come from the government; they come from GOD.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly 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.
Somewhere between C and D. America first...ALWAYS. We MUST stop habitually funding and interfering overseas in the name of another country's "democracy"; especially while we are $34 TRILLION in debt! We are borrowing money to interfere and ignoring the threat of our own border. What impact does this debt really have on our own national security? We are borrowing money for our own defense! We need to get out of the war business entirely.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
We should have no dealings with China whatsoever as a communist nation. We do not openly trade with North Korea, but we essentially PAY China to import their goods and hand them all of OUR technology to do it. We have allowed the destruction of our own manufacturing.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
America is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values. Israel is the birthplace of several religions including Christianity and has always been an important partner to America. We have always stood by Israel during the common flares in the middle east, however it is America who is under attack now. We have got to have a paradigm shift. We must prioritize our borders, our economy and Americans over all else or we simply may not survive this very different kind of war on America.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Wokeism. We are allowing transgenders in the military which is a clear indicator of mental health issues. These soldiers are put on sex hormones causing all kinds of EMOTIONAL issues. We are purposefully allowing this of the men and women who are expected to be ready at all times to defend our nation? A mass experimental vaccine was also forced upon our military causing detrimental side-effects, again weakening our readiness and causing many critically-thinking soldiers to leave the military.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No individual should be forced, shamed, sold, threatened or coerced into getting a vaccination or any other medical procedure. I have openly called for the covid-19 shots to be pulled from the market.
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 would like to have our disabled, our Veterans and our elderly be taken care of but am not sold on any of the systems currently in place. The government is notoriously poor at providing good service. Privatization is, 100% of the time, the better solution.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
A key element of my platform in a reduction in the size/funding of the federal government. A 75-90% reduction in agencies and subsequent NGOs would stimulate the economy, innovation and reverse inflation.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The situation at the border is on everyone's mind. Failure to secure our border and protect the country from invasion is treason: plain and simple. This will be priority one on my first day in office. Seal the border and deport everyone who has come through in the past 5 years. We will need an immigration moratorium of some duration while we sort out what we have and hold those responsible to account. The current situation is a humanitarian crisis the likes of which America has never seen.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I will call for an immigration moratorium for 5 years. We will need to assess our needs in terms of infrastructure and manufacturing, etc and train Americans to do the work needed in America. Once immigration is opened back up, we need to have it based on America's needs AND the merit of the applicant, not merit alone, and no more "refugees" from countries that hate America. We will be in our own recovery and we need to put America and Americans first.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Agree
Parents should always choose where and how their children are schooled. This is a complicated issue as I believe the entire property tax issue is deeply imbedded within the answers. I disagree with the vast majority of property taxes; no taxation with representation. That said, I am in hopes that state legislatures can solve this important issue. My contribution will be defunding the Dept of Education at a federal level getting the federal government out of the education business.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
I intend to remove all funding for the Dept of Education. The executive branch will have to dismantle the agency; I can only defund it. This should end the weaponization of the schools with ideologies, curriculum and books being pushed down by the DoE, the NGO Library Associations and Teacher's Unions pushing filth, false history, homosexuality, racism, division and hate. Leave education to the states.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
I do think any police force can afford to have LESS money with many having already been substantially stripped of budgets. We need MORE funding for police.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I believe fully in the second amendment and our right to bear arms...that right shall not be infringed.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
I believe the preamble to the Constitution says it best: To establish JUSTICE, insure domestic tranquility, provide for a common defense, promote general welfare (health, happiness and fortunes) and to secure the blessings of LIBERTY to ourselves and our posterity.
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
VALUES
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
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ whose blood was shed and who died on the cross and rose again so that I might have life eternal with the one true living God. It is Jesus' blood covers my sins in the sight of the Father. God is working in our Nation; I know this and with the help of His mighty hand, we WILL be victorious against our enemies. 2024 is the year of our victory.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and gas are the most safe and reliable sources of energy on the planet and the most cost effective when removing all subsidies. I look forward to American ingenuity and innovation shining through in the coming years in this field.
