QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
This issue has rightfully been returned back to the states via Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022), thus, as a federal legislator and a Constitutional Conservative, there is no opinion for me to make. However on a personal note I do believe that life should be protected.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
This issue is now up to the state by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022).
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Hell no.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
First, the Comstock Act needs to be amended due to Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) because: 1.) In the case of states that do allow abortion, there becomes a serious conflict of state and federal law - however, because of the Dobbs ruling and FDA recognition of abortion-inducing drugs these recognitions essentially invalidate the Comstock Act de facto.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No person should be compelled to do something against their beliefs. This issue has been decided in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, 584 U.S. 617 (2018).
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the government should not mandate/coerce a religion through legislation. Religion is between man and God and religion coerced through legislation would create a dangerous alliance between priests and politicians and threatens the state of Our Republic as it would undermine faith and cause division.
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) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
No. No more foreign aid or ties with Israel - or ANY nation for that matter.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
Al-qaeda, ISIS, the muslim brotherhood, hamas, and any other terrorist groups need to go.
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.
D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
This is self-explanatory - no response needed.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
I am a proponent of a flat tax because it is fundamentally unfair for people who make more to subsidize those who make less. However, as we have seen: that is not how government plays out, due to the current tax code.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Less Taxes=Less Government= MORE Rights
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1.) Cut taxes 2.) Reduce spending 3.) Eliminate waste and send it back to taxpayers 4.) Create a public database for the public to see where funds are being used and dispersed (Kind of like that DOGE clock). 5.) Comprehensive Audits and penalties for failing to pass audits.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
There should be a pause on ALL immigration until we get all the illegals out.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
These people ought to be JAILED. Article VI Cl. 2 of the U.S. Constitution CLEARLY states that federal law SHALL be supreme. We should be RAIDING sanctuary cities, JAILING politicians who create sanctuary cities, and we should sue sanctuary cities.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The Dept. of Educ. keeps asking for more money and our kids keep getting dumber while being influenced by TERRIBLE LGBTQ identities, CRT, DEI, etc. Taxpayer dollars should NOT be funding this crap.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
This needs no explanation.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
This needs no explanation.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. I'm a 2nd Amendment absolutist. The words "Shall not be infringed" is pretty clear.
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.
Yes, it was for a firearm related offense but I got acquitted through Post-Conviction review.
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
I'm a Constitutional Conservative and am ONLY America First. NO foreign aid/affairs.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
You need to be a certain age to play M-rated video games and to see R-rated movies - this is for a reason since children are EASILY influenced.
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
No explanation is needed.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm a Christian. My creed is what God ordains through the Bible.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Remember when democrats wanted everyone to have a vaccination I.D.? It's RIDICULOUS that they believe in no I.D. for voting - the reason is clear: to commit fraud. You need I.D. to drive, buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol, to buy M-rated video games, to see R-rated movies - thus, it only makes sense to have I.D. to vote.
EQUALITY
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
This needs no explanation.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy - no contest.
