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).

Agree

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

Neutral

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Survivors of sexual assault or if the mothers life is in jeopardy by carrying the child


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Agree

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

The reduction of tax loop holes which allow too many deductions, which lead to an unfair reduction in tax debt.


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.

Disagree

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

Did not answer


HEALTHCARE

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

There is not a circumstance for such a requirement.

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.

Our health care system needs major improvement. As for the method, I have not analyzed which options would be the most effective.


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.

Neutral

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?

We should not be buying any fossil fuels or energy from countries that partake in terrorism. Our intel community needs to focus their efforts on international terrorism and stop doing the bidding of the Democrat Party.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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.

Agree

The penalties should be stiff, however denying all funding would cause harm to innocent families.

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

Our country provides opportunities for all. Any person coming to our country needs to be fully vetted. As a member of the military I have gone through tougher scrutiny to maintain a secret clearance than most people entering our country.


VALUES

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

Choose not to answer

This question is not very specific. I cannot form an opinion.

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.

I am a Christian and an Ordained Minister. I challenge myself at the start of every day to treat everyone with kindness and to be a beacon in these times of uncertainty.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Any person or group caught cheating in an election should be charged with a federal crime and sentenced to no less than years 10 in prison.


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 There are small amounts of racist people in this country, but the country itself is not racist.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

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.

Currently the narrative that is pushing an extreme reaction in regard to the environment is hurting American families. We are not even close to a country that runs solely on alternate sources of power.
