QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

rape, incest, harm to mother's life

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

Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I think dying with dignity is imperative within our society. Though the conversations with loved ones are tough, the state should not be involved at all.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

As a business, you should have a right to the customers you serve.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None unless doing direct harm to others.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Stop bombing brown 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.

Choose not to answer

Don't know enough about it.


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.

C

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

None unless proven to be both effective and for the common good of all. Mumps, measles, hep should all continue to be required.


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

simplify the tax code, flat tax, end grocery tax

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

There is nearly unlimited waste in our each system of gov't, and I would try to compensate people within gov't who cut red tape

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree

An educated society is key to a strong nation of shared values and common knowledge.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Unfettered immigration is a stain upon our society.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Anybody who is willing to work and can pass a background check.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have a right to choose where to send their kid to school, and the gov't shouldn't have a taxpayer funded monopoly,


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Disagree

Qualified immunity leads to reckless policing

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Agree

I think one of the reasons there are so many crimes is due to a lack of mental health facilities.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None besides background checks.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To maintain a free society, to maintain contracts, to maintain a defense of foreign and domestic enemies.

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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

I have none besides my 15+ years of publications, which are on my 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?

I am a free thinking conservative who has been writing and speaking about the same issues for 20 years.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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 Disagree

Marriage is a contract, and anybody who wants to get married should be able to.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

While the United States has put policies and laws in place with racist intentions, I do not believe that our country is fundamentally racist.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voter fraud is a serious issue.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Voter ID is mandated to vote, no mail in ballots, however I do believe elections should be a national holiday.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No. Racism is not a domestic security threat. It's a ridiculous question.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

I don't think fracking is necessary in order to meet domestic demand of energy.
