OTHER INFORMATION
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
The US gives them $500 million dollars a year. They give out over $300 Million to the Democrat Party and Democrat Candidates. Then they give another $100 Million to other organizations. Apparently they don't need it. Stop paying them for 5 years and use it to help pay off the National Debt.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Human life is so wonderful! God will decide our birth and our death.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Rape and incest, 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
Even the Satanist have more rights than Christians do in today's political environment! We are better than that and deserve better than that!
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Keep separate just like our Forefathers have set into motion and law.
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
When Israel is bombed, they should take a mile of land from whichever side they are attacked from. Develop it and keep it! Every time they are are attacked, take another mile!
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We should go into Muslim communities and arrest and remove all non-citizens and prosecute them and remove them from the country. If they return, they should be imprisoned into a solitary confinement prison so they do not spread their hatred. Arrest the Muslim Politicians who are giving aid and comfort to the enemy of our Allies. Andre Carson is the first one I would try in a military Tribunal!
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I do not believe that anyone of them should do any requirements.
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.
Totally disagree! Employers should provide Insurance for employees. The Government is not your parents and should not force you to work. But if you do not, without any disabilities, you should Not receive a dime from the government!
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Stop paying all countries except for Israel. Pay down our National debt. Legalize marijuana, tax it. Then use 50% to stabilize Social Security and the rest to help pay off our National Debt.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Overhaul it all! So much has changed since it was signed into law.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People seeking political asylum such as Venezuelans and Nicaragua. Their lives are being threatened bu their Dictators.
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
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe we should open more In-Patient mental Health Facilities and get the Mentally challenged out of our Jails, Prisons and off of the streets. We have plenty of money available that is being wasted on stupid things!
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
There are too many the way it is!
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Disagree
People have free will. They make the decisions to buy and use the firearms in whatever manner they decide. Hold them responsible for their actions!
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
We are about People helping People! All People! It doesn't matter the color of your skin, your religion, your sexuality, your disabilities or anything else! Those are all noise to us! God only places us on this Earth for a short time. We are tasked with leaving it better than how we found it. We cannot do that if we have anger and hatred in our hearts and minds against our brothers and sisters! We are For the People! By the People! Of the People! And With the People!!
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Why are we still discussing this divisive, hateful idea? Divide us NO MORE! We are better together! Only pedophiles want children to have access to pornography!
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I was studying to become an Army Chaplain when I was bit in the spine by a coral snake. I believe in the Power of Prayer. I have been visited by my Angel several times. God leads my life!
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
In person voting unless you are hospitalized, in the military or work as an advisor out of State.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
They never experienced what they are claiming. The people who did, died many, many years ago. Race Baiters should be arrested for starting riots.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No! The Race Baiters are using it to make money and nothing more! There is a reason why the rear view mirror is smaller than the windshield.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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
