QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Never. Every human life if created by God and must be protected. Even in the case of rape or incest. The taking of any life from conception to natural death is absolutely wrong in every circumstance. In a case that is truly for the life of a mother, it is often the will of the doctor to save both that is lacking not the medical capability to save both. In the tragic case of rape or incest, the victim needs support and compassion however to encourage her to additionally kill her child, this only causes further wounds and trauma to the rape victim/mother. Testimonies from rape victims that carried the baby reveal that having the baby was part of their healing. Also, testimony from people who are born when conceived in rape reveals that the child should not be killed because of the violent act of the father.
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
Assisted suicide is always wrong. They can use words like “mercy and compassion” to try and justify the taking of a life but it is God alone who decides the moment of death. No person, doctor, or institution has the right to shorten someone’s life by accelerating their death by drugs or withholding care.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Tax incentives should be put in place to encourage and reward Married couples for having more children. Tax cuts for Small business owners should be more. Income tax filing forms shoulda be made simpler.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Reduction of foreign aid across the board in order to first take care of needed issues in the United States, elimination of Dept of Education, and give law makers the ability vote up or down on line item pork added to bills.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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
Religious freedom and conscious protection is in the constitution. These protections must be enforced and expanded statewide especially when it comes to a person's job being at risk. I would support financial penalties for companies or entities that deny a person freedom of conscience.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. Freedom to practice religion is a fundamental right of the constitution United States. What happened during covid in shutting down the churches was legally and morally wrong and this should never happen again. I support state laws that codify that Churches are Essential and must be left open at all time.
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) is my answer.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders.
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
This has and will continue to be a very complicated issue which I continue to seek reliable information to learn about more deeply.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I support President Trumps building of the wall and his immigration policies to protect American Citizens.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Our legal immigration laws must be honored and upheld. There must be consequences for illegal undocumented people who have stolen their way into The US. They should not be allowed to stay.Legal immigration must be enforced or we will lose our identity as a Country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Yes! Yes! Yes! Public schools have exposed that they are not trustworthy in teach our children and grandchildren the truth. They are indoctrinating young minds with racial, divisive, anti-American ideas that are false. I oppose Critical Race Theory and the aggressive sex education that is being taught which undermines the authority of parents in the formation of their children.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
Our founding Fathers recognized that we are One Nation Under God and we must continue with this belief in our Governance.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Every person is already equally protected under the law. All individuals should be treated with dignity and are all made equally in the eyes of God.. There are only 2 genders: Male and Female. To suggest anything else defied science and God.l
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 Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
There should be laws preventing critical race theory which is built on lies and is damaging to the formation of our children.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a practicing Roman Catholic, wife, and mother of 9. I believe in the complete and full doctrines of The Catholic Church and the tradition teachings contained in the Holy Bible. . I believe God has supreme rights over every aspect of my life, that every single life deserves protection, and marriage is sacred b/t one man and one woman. I also believe we have a moral duty to stand up and speak out against those that blaspheme God and try to remove Him from society. Separation of Church and State has been perversely interpreted to remove the public practice of religion. God and Faith are what this country has been founded on and we cannot abandon this to the left.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I support a national holiday be declared for Election Day to allow access to voting easier for voters. . I believe early voting should be eliminated and strict guidelines should be put in place where absentee ballot requests require documentation and reason. I believe we should eliminate computer voting which trusts programming of the computers that count our votes to unknown strangers who are accountable to no one. Drop boxes should also be illegal and close monitoring of money aimed at corruption of election results must be a priority. The safest way to have reliable vote counts is to return the the paper ballots counted at the precinct level. The easiest way to steal our country is to steal our elections.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No it is not. Racism had been used by the left to divide the community and accuse anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda. it is very sad to see this in our country.
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) We must be good stewards of our environment but the far left agenda to force this to be treated as a "god" is crazy. Our country needs more children not more environmental restrictions and scare tactics which falsely teach that there are too many people on the planet.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
The US should become self sufficient and I agree with how President Trump had us moving in that direction. Depending on foreign countries for our energy supplies hurts our families and the economy.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government should be elected by the people to serve the people.
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).
https://www.renewamerica.com/columns/giroux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCifyjlbkF8
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 believe that Government overreach especially as experienced by the Covid epidemic was illegal and that Government has no right to such actions. I also believe strongly in the 2nd Amendment and every citizen's right to bear arms. it is very concerning to see the political left use every act of violence as a way to further gun control laws which are against the Constitution. I also believe that the over turning of Roe v Wade has been the most important Supreme Court decision of my lifetime and it has clarified that Roe was founded on flawed law and that Science supports the reality that life begins at conception and every unborn child has protection under the constitution. The personhood of the unborn must be set into law in all 50 states.
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 the police and first responders who put their lives on the line every single day. They must be assumed innocent until facts reveal otherwise. None of us know what we would do if our life was threatened. Police are our heroes and should be respected and honored for what they do.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
That is insanity. While mental health and community programs can be helpful if formed properly they can NEVER replace the need for the Police.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. The second amendment protects our right to bear arms
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
