QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Abortion is murder

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

No church should have ever been closed for the pandemic

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

Strongly Disagree

You cannot force someone to violate their faith and participate in sin

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

Freedom from state interference


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.

C) America First, last, and always

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

Support freedom movements in Palestinian territories

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

Strongly Agree

They are an existential threat to our nation and culture

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

Stop buying their oil


HEALTHCARE

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

None

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.

D) Deregulate the medical profession and untie it from the pharmaceutical industry so that real competition can drive down prices and increase productivity and innovation.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Disagree

Monopolies should be broken up and deregulation that allows true free markets to exist.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

Entitlement spending and corporate welfare need to be curbed drastically

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

Abolish the IRS


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

If the border is not secured we don't actually have a sovereign nation

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

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

Those who align with our national needs and culture


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Neutral

Transparency and accountability are key. As we have seen the FBI lawyer who lied on the affidavit to get the warrant for the Trump admin was not only allowed to plea to a lesser offense but then was reinstated to his job

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Disagree

We need a return to state mental hospitals to get many of the functionally/emotionally disabled off the streets so police can handle the genuine criminal elements in society


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

More shall issue carry permits

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

Sue the criminals


ABOUT YOU

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

As a Christian pastor I am probably ultra-conservative to some peoples way of thinking

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Yes, I was convicted of cocaine trafficking in 1998. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gu-PPixD54&ab_channel=The700Club

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

We need federal candidates that understand that the real battle is and always will be against a ruling class that are continually eroding individual liberty and that the roll of the representative is keep the government in check and not the people. Holding the permanent police state accountable to the people so that a sitting president never has to worry about a secret court being used against them by the FBI again.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

If they want government out of their bedroom they can keep their behavior out of government

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

Strongly Disagree

CRT is Marxism in disguise

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a born again, Spirit filled, follower of the Lord Jesus Christ!


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

You need ID to buy cigarettes you need and ID to decide our nations future

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Make ballot harvesting illegal


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Disagree

Not going to happen

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Anytime an American is reduced to being viewed through the lens of an immutable God given characteristic and then treated different than other Americans because of it, we all suffer.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

Energy independence should be our goal

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) Common sense regulation for the general welfare is completely different than the Marxist use of "climate" to enact an green new deal
