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
Children are a gift from God and every life is precious. We need to protect the child in the womb that cannot speak for itself. As an ordained minister, I will always uphold what the Bible instructs us to follow.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
It is a case-by-case situation must be handled by the doctors and the family. It's never okay to murder or kill another person. However, with the way I understand medicine, there are things that can happen that cause a person to have to rely on others to make decisions. While the person is in good health and able to make their own decisions, living wills and DNRs are important documents to have in place.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only to save the life of the mother.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I am an ordain minister and our 1st amendment rights are at risk. We need good men and women to stand up and to say no more and pull back the vail of the most corrupt government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
A person can go find someone else to do business with and as a business owner, you have the right to refuse anyone if you don't want to do business with that person.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Since the government came into our churches in 2020 and closed down our churches. There is no more separation between church and states, churches should be allowed to speak out their point of view without having to worry about the government taking away their 501 (c) (3).
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.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Palestinians have their lands and are not entitled to the land of Israel. I will support Israel Genesis 12:1-3 "Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP has no right being in this country and stealing our intellectual property. People who are caught helping the CCP need to be prosecuted for espionage.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The FBI should be helping to find and get rid of threats and stop investigating American people.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The federal government should get out of the healthcare business. The doctors and families should make their decision based on true science and not propaganda from MSM or AMA.
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.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Smaller government and less taxes on the American people with help. Allowing people to create their own jobs or work in their job of choice is what will drive America's economy. There will always be the 1% that create 65% of the jobs. 34% of the jobs from mom and pop shops does the rest. Free enterprise will work and not social well fair programs.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Every year the budget should be balanced. Spending more money or borrowing money from others, is how you go into debt. Federal leaders need to be fiscally responsible.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I will put a bill on the floor to get rid of the IRS.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A nation without borders is not a nation.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Mayors and Governors need to be put in jail for going against the immigration laws.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone and everyone, who wants to come to this nation legally should be vetted out and if they are going to be productive people then they should be allowed to come into America.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
We ask a lot of our police officers and they should be protected.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Police need to be supported so that they can do their job. If we stop sending money to other countries and spend our money here in our country then we would start seeing money available for mental health and community programs.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Put guns into the hands of good people.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Guns and gun makers are not to blame when an evil person kills someone. God did not blame the rock when Cain killed Abel, God blamed Cain.

VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
No. The issue of sexual orientation has only come up in the last 10 years. Only 1% of the population identity sexually and yet 99% of the population doesn't care about their sexual orientation. As this behavior goes against God and the Bible, it needs to be dealt with on an adult level and children should not be involved. Before a child enters college, they should not be subjected to any type of sexual orientation or grooming.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Unlike other countries, America is not racist. CRT has no place in our educational system. Once a student has graduated from college, they will be able to discuss the differences.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
As a Christian, I believe Jesus Christ is God's son. He was both man and God at the same time. He was sinless and died on the cross for our sins. All you need to do is believe in him to receive the free gift of eternal life when we accept him as our Lord and savior.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Working the Arizona audit, I saw first hand what happened in a stolen election. One day, One vote, ID required, hand-count paper ball, smaller precinct polling locations, no machines, and no mail-in/absentee ballot except for military, disabled, those who can not be at the polling stations. Winners are announced the next day.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
One day, One vote, ID required, hand-count paper ball, smaller precinct polling locations, no machines, and no mail-in/absentee ballot except for military, disabled, those who can not be at the polling stations. Winners are announced the next day bill.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
There is not one person alive today that were slaves. I have researched my family and not a single person ever owned a slave. My family tree was never rich enough to own anyone.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not a threat to domestic security. Racism wasn't a problem until President Obama made it a problem in our country. Biden has picked up the torch and has been dividing the country even further.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
Our country is an oil base society and the earth produces oil and it is not fossil fuel like the early scientist stated.
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
