OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To save the life of the mother, rape or incest.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Abolish state income tax and go to a consumption tax so everyone pays their fair share.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Government must be accountable to the taxpayer. Government funding should be used to provide basic services to the constituents. We need to cut the pork out of the budget.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
We need to restore the equality of our K-12 education system. A High School education in the 1960's is certainly equal to today's 4 year degree.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Government can not close churches.

(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.

none
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
When a terrorist is identified, s/he should face a death sentence.
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.
Neutral
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigration should include sponsorship by a U.S. Citizen who will be held responsible. I support the building of the wall.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am Christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
The ability to vote is our #1 right as US citizens. We must do everything in our power to ensure that only LEGAL citizens vote and that votes can not be tampered with.
EQUALITY

No
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
