OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion should never be allowed. We have the technology to save the mother and the baby so why the need to kill one over the other.

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.

Agree

If someone is going to decide to take their own life ( which I completely disagree with). It should be done the most humane way possible.


ECONOMY

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

14.5 percent flat-rate tax.

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

I would reduce spending on all wasteful and ridiculous research and programs. The Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management (FSO) under Sen. Paul’s leadership has uncovered over $1.8 billion in wasteful spending

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Disagree

Government should not be able to dictate how a business operates, the public generally vote with their dollar.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

No circumstances where government can dictate how a church functions.


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.

C

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

Government should not dictate how someone manages their Healthcare. Using Government, school and employment institutions to get a populous vaccinated is government overeach.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Instill and inspire American ideology and culture into future generations.

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.

IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Nobody at the moment. Many have already illegally entered. We need to indefinitely close the borders.

Strongly Agree

VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

No, there are other issues that are more of a threat to domestic security. Gang violence being one example
