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

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

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

Bible believing follower of God, and His Son, Jesus Christ through the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, because of increased emphasis on ethnic stereotypes determining who is privileged or who is victimized. Hard-work and merit have been set aside in the interest of "equality" and "justice". We need to return to ideals of American individualism based on individual responsibility and hard work. The current level of vitriol in today's discussion endangers our domestic security.
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

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources.

Coal, gas and oil with the aid of technology to scrub out pollutants to a reasonable level.
