OTHER INFORMATION
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
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Before 6 weeks, for the health of the mother, if the baby is so deformed it will not survive after birth, in cases of rape and incest.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Dependency on the government for income for the long term detrimental to free enterprise and the human spirit. We should support the growth of individuals to improve their financial situation through education and making private enterprise work by lowering taxes and regulation while making it easier for creation of businesses.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Eventually, spending more than we take in becomes unsustainable. We are paying large amount of interest to foreign governments like China that can exert pressure on us financially at anytime. This is untenable. Additionally, we have removed money from the social security fund which needs to be replenished for the future of our retirees as we promised to them.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax code needs to be changed and made simpler. It is too complicated for the individual to comprehend. Also loop holes that allow the very rich to avoid paying their share of taxes should be removed. The code should be fair for everyone and equally applied.
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.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separate. However if churches provide education of the kindergarten through high school, they should be eligible for federal funds if the church desires, and standard educational goals are meet in addition to religious instruction.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
That should be the individual choose of those institutions. We have free will in this country, so that if an institution requires vaccinations in order to participate, that should be the choice of the institution. The individual then has the choice to participate or not.
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.
B
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.
B
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
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Continue with s strong military, intelligence actions, and support the development of strong democratic institutions. We should use economic actions where necessary. If attacked we should respond strongly militarily
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Finish the wall. Support ICE.
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?
We already have reasonable immigration laws in place. There should be quotas on immigration from each country and types of workers we should allow into the country.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus is my savior. I try to follow his teachings.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If the government is able to supply photo IDs for everyone, there is no reason to not have photos in order to ensure there is no voter fraud.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I support photo IDs. I also believe that everyone who is a citizen should be allowed to vote. Felons should not be allowed to vote, unless they can demonstrate that they are rehabilitated after a waiting period of 5 years.
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.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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.

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 redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We already have sufficient laws. The laws however should be enforced. They are not being enforced rigorously. There should be penalties for not safe guarding children’ s access to firearms.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
