OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

In the event of a medical emergency

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

Yes, i would support legislation to making people responsible and holding them accountable for treating abortion as a form of birth control.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

First, we need to limit government spending, second we need to pay off our national debt, then we can lower tax's to allow Americans to keep the money they worked hard for.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Agree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

"the church has no place in our government decisions"

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

Neutral

They should, however if they chose not to, they should be required to post publicly that "due to personal beliefs, we will not provide these services".


HEALTHCARE

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

Vaccination education should be required, however getting vaccinated should be optional. Individuals not wanting vaccinated should sign a release of liability from workers comp and paid time off if they choose not to protect themselves.

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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

I have my own plan... "united states health plan corporation" This plan will consolidate all government plans to eliminate wasted money, this plan will also offer affordable plans to all Americans. This program will be self-efficient, non-profit and fix the future of healthcare for Americans.


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.

A

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

yes.. The United states needs a good relationship with Israel to maintain good foreign policy in the middle east.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Many reasons, Americans are losing value in defending our country, Americans are afraid of violent death, and infantry has been replaced by technology. American needs stronger leadership and stronger family values to restore pride in serving and defending our country.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

only individuals who have completed the immigration process and been legally selected should be allowed to immigrate.


EDUCATION

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

Disagree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree


VALUES

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Disagree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Agree

As crime is increasing and children are out of line, we need to restore child spanking within our society and allow parents to discipline

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Neutral

The electoral college needs an overhaul to allow more even voting power to all states. We have seen States like California having too much power in the electoral college causing a shift in our government and beliefs.


EQUALITY

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

Neutral

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
