QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If the baby is verifiably deceased in the womb by natural causes.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NEVER! God has authority over his church. He has been given ALL authority in heaven and on earth.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Identify all Islamists in the U.S and monitor them. Close our borders to all Muslims permanently. If you truly understand their religion through the Koran or Sharia you then will understand their religion is not compatible with Christianity in any form. Therefore they will never be at peace with a Christian nation OR ITS PEOPLE.
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
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
D) Tax-payer-funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded. Tax Payer Vouchers should be given to the elderly and indigent to be used in a free market system.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NEVER!
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We should institute the fair tax or flat tax.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would eliminate the NEA. States should dictate public education. I would eliminate or severely reduce about a dozen other agencies that the federal and or state government has bloated. The UN is another excellent example. I would pull the U.S entirely out of the UN.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build the wall. Stop all border crossings and deport all illegals.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We The People. Need a complete moratorium on immigration until we know exactly who is here.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

NONE
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
