QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Other options are available.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

Life should run its natural path.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I pray for women faced with this decision. I will defer to a medical professional.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

Our right to religious liberty is and should always be protected as described in the 1st Amendment.

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

Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

Faith shapes my political stance.


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.

B

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Disagree

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

Agree

Military threat is minimal.

Continue to seek and leverage intelligence and eliminate the threat.

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

When the threat is proven and the vaccine is tested and validated.

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

C

Implement a single tax rate.
