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

Governments funds should not be used for abortion..

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.

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

When it is allowed by state law and to save the life of the mother.

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 Federal Government has remanded this back to the individual states. The Federal Government should not be involved in funding or subsidizing abortion.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

It means that religious liberty must be protected and that the war on our Judeo-Christians values must end.

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.

C. America also needs to re-examine our relationship with the United Nations and consider terminating the relationship if they continue to be anti-Israel

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

Strongly Agree

The CCP is working within every sector of our country to destroy the United States from within. The Fentanyl crisis alone is a terrorist attack created by the CCP. We need to declare an invasion and take appropriate measures to detect, disrupt and dismantle the criminal enterprises of the CCP.

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

Israel is our only true ally in the Middle East and perhaps the world.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The feminization of our military and the abuse of our military by this administration. The proxy wars, Afghanistan, destabilization of our military bases and corrupt leadership which does not support the mission of our warfighters and those who commit to serving this nation to protect our freedoms.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Medical decisions should be made with trained medical professionals. The government, educational institutions, and employers should not have that authority over the people who are part of their institutions or those they serve..

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. Unfortunately, Medicaid has gotten out od control and needs to regulated more closely.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Renew and expand the Trump tax cuts.

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

Public monies should not go to institutions that discriminate on the basis of race. ESG ratings are arbitrary and without merit.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

We need to be more concerned about our own border that that of Ukraine. An open border violates the citizens of the United States and we must secure the border, deport those who entered illegally and restore order.

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

I support legal immigration and not ILLEGAL immigration. It's time to start enforcing our laws and stop the mockery of our sovereignty and our national security.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

The Department of Education has existed for more that 40 years and the state of Education is far worse as a result of US DEPT of Education policies and programs..


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree

This crazy left wing policy is the number one cause of increased crime in our nation. I back the BLUE!


2ND AMENDMENT

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

none


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?

to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity.

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

Children are vulnerable to hyper-sexualization and manipulation because of grooming, abuse, pedophilia. Children's brains are not fully developed until their mid-twenties. Bodily mutilation and gender confusion is a way to allow children to make adult choices inappropriate for their age.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I work every day to honor God and do HIS work to protect children, fight criminal activity and respect the word of God. I am humbled and grateful for this life and believe we need to serve each other in accordance with Godly values.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

We need to know who is voting in all elections and that they are registered and citizens

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

CRT is racist

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?

Coal oil and gas have been reliable energy sources for decades.
