OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I'm rigidly against taking life. Medical situations are between a mother, family, and a doctor. Each medical situation is individually specific. Rape and incest becomes a choice to carry the life. I'm in favor of such an option, however, at the end of the day it could end up being a decision to exercise the other option. That's freedom of choice and between that person and God.

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


ECONOMY

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

Perhaps less fraud, waste, and abuse would be a smart idea.

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

Perhaps less fraud, waste, and abuse would be a smart idea.

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

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Maybe the churches should be taxed instead of closed.


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.

End Obamacare.

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

None.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

2020 isn't over. Fix the fraudulent election system so we can have real people serving We The 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.
