QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
No Federal or State funds should be used for abortions. Like wise with Title X Grants should not be used for abortions.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When it endangers the mother, Rape, and Incest.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Disagree
Lowering taxes, inflation, and the price of gas would be more helpful.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Yes, the government should cut spending.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I would like a flat tax everyone pays 10%.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
Individuals and businesses provide the opportunity and information to the individual or patient so they can make an informed decision.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separation between Church and State should be the relationship.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Each case is different between government, school, and employer. Depends what jobs would require vaccinations and what vaccinations you would be required to take.
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.
One-size fits all approach does not work. However, the government should not be in charge of healthcare.
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.
The United States should have a measured response depending on the circumstances. We should not be so eager to send money or troops around the world without careful consideration.
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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Chinese Communist Party poses a serious threat to the whole world.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The United States has many tools at its disposal to combat terrorism here at home and abroad.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Definitely, Build the wall.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Sanctuary cities only encourage illegal immigration.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
The United States already has laws on the books to allow immigration. Enforcement of the law and procedures would go a long way.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
Every American citizen should be treated equal under the law.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, Country, and Family
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo identification is use for many different reasons why not for voting.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Photo identification and signature verification
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No it is not. The only group keeping racism alive is the Left.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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.
The United States can and does take the environment in a count when drilling for fossil fuels. An all the above approach to energy is what we need including wind, solar, and nuclear a long with research and development.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
Yes, within reason.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
I do not support de-funding the police. We should as a nation support community programs and address metal health.

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Apply the laws we have now. Red flag laws circumvent rights of citizens and I do not support.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
