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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Unfettered immigration is a stain upon our society.

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.

None besides background checks.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
