QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I want to fight for the right to life for all who are conceived, from the point of conception. Life begins at conception and all abortions must be made illegal. All elective abortions should be made illegal. The life within is a precious creation of God. If the fetus is nonviable and the mother’s life is in danger, a medical emergency should be declared, and the doctor should save the mother’s life. All efforts must be made to save the precious life of the child under other life threatening conditions. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalms 127:3

ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax code should be simplified. A flat tax for all would be the most fair. No matter what a family makes, their burden should be the same at all income brackets. Inheritance taxes should be eliminated. All should be paying taxes no matter what brackets.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
All frivolous spending (Pork) should be eliminated. The line item veto should be adopted and spending should be reduce and a smaller federal government should be the end result.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
Every individual seeking higher learning should be responsible for their own education. No bail out for higher education loans.

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

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances!

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. The government should stay out of the healthcare business. Free enterprise and competition from private healthcare should reign in our Republic. Medical decisions should be between doctors and patients with the insurance companies having no say as to how a patient proceeds. Too many times, necessary procedures are denied and the bureaucracy is convoluted and complicated. Abuses must be eliminated. I would not be against option D but we must take care of those that rely on Medicaid and Medicare at this time.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No Mandates period. Iowa needs a strong Medical Freedom and Privacy Act. No ones should lose their jobs/careers because they chose not to get a vaccine.

NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I believe in the Trump Doctrine. No unnecessary war but we must always show Strength on the world stage. Decisive action when threat is real and known. Eliminate the threat promptly with strength. Show the world American Greatness on the world stage.

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
America should ALWAYS stand with Israel! The BDS movement is an anti-Semitic movement and must have no roots in our Republic. Our Republic was built with strong Judeo-Christian beliefs and must continue with the visions the Founding Fathers had for America.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build and seal the wall/border. Protect American Sovereignty. The open border crowds want to destroy that American Sovereignty and destroy America from within. All states must fight the Biden Administration and fight to close the border! If the Feds won't close the border, the states should control their own border and stop the influx/crowds from coming across.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People that will not burden the system and will sustain themselves with all expenses required to live here. We must be selective in whom we allow. All individuals shall be vetted and those that pass a strict criteria may be allowed to immigrate here. We must stop the Visa lottery and stop the extended family from having a free ride to come in. Everyone should be vetted. An allegiance to America and the the American flag must be sought from all wishing to immigrate to here. Folks coming here should have pride for our rich American Heritage.

EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
School should protect the innocence of our children first and above all. I do NOT believe educators should be allowed to push agendas and indoctrination of twisted ideology not approved by the parents of those children. Pornographic and obscene materials are being introduced and distributed online and in schools via tech, books, print, etc. as a property of free speech; I am vehemently opposed to this, this practice must stop now. Protect the children at all cost.

VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
We must shrink our federal government and limits its power. We must look closely at the tenth amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. We must take control of the education system in our state and dismantle the Dept of Education. Schools are NOT there to indoctrinate our children!

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Our Legislators must address and remove gender identity from the civil code and protect traditional family values. Iowans will not be protected in bathrooms and showers and gyms etc until the code is changed.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
AMEN The Lord defined marriage and the defense of marriage act also defined it in US Law until there was judicial legislation from the bench. One man and one woman period.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I am of Latino descent, and this country is NOT fundamentally racist. I have been given opportunities and worked hard to achieve what the Lord has given me. In many facets of life, people always threaten me fair without regard to race or color. I am glad to have been born American, with the rich American Heritage.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I stand for the principles of the Bible, as I believe it is the anointed Word of God. I believe in the God of the bible, the amazing God as described in the book of John. "The Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." Man can not explain the marvelous miracle of the triune God and yet we know the Lord our God is One. "but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." If we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, our Saviour, our Lamb, slain for our redemption, and confess our sins we shall inherit eternal life. "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ." Thank you Lord for saving me! Your Grace is a gift. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Amen I believe are country was founded with Judeo-Christian values, observing the Ten Commandment as the foundation of our Republic.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
There should be a national ID requirement to vote. The days of voter should be reduce drastically. Our nation intended for one day voting period. When the window for voting is many days, it allows for the cheaters to take root in the process. Paper only, eliminate the machines.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would love to see the machine go away. All voting should be done on paper ballots in a limited window as originally designed. Having a large voting window just creates more opportunities for fraud. All mail in ballots must be eliminated with the exception of Absentee ballots with the same safeguards that exist today. Signature verification must always be employed.

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

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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. I have worked for big oil just about all my adult life. There must always be a good balance of regulation to protect our natural resources/environment. For many years things have gotten out of hand. The red tape in environmental impact statements have drowned companies with excessive paperworks and loops to overcome. The bureaucracy must be refined in a balance manner to protect our land, rivers etc and yet allow for companies to function appropriately.

What I will stand for: The right to freedom of religion. We don’t all have to agree on each other’s beliefs in the United States, but we do need to respect the right of each other to believe the way they want. I stand for the principles in the Bible, as I believe it is the anointed Word of God. I believe God created man and woman- two genders and you are born as either a man or a woman. I believe the definition of marriage is defined by God and is a sacred union between a man and a woman. The right to life for all who are conceived from the point of conception. While a forming human being is a fetus by definition, he or she is a creation of God from the initial point of cellular formation. If the fetus is nonviable and the mother’s life is in danger, a medical emergency should be declared, and the doctor should save the mother’s life. The right to free speech. Some news medias and Big Tech oligarchs are working to radically censor conservative speech and Christian values. All people, conservative/liberals, should have the right to freedom of speech. As someone has said before, “Censorship is the tool of tyrants, it always leads to oppression and loss of freedom for the populations.” 1 Today’s 90% of main stream media is owned by six companies, (ATT (bought Time Warner), CBS, Comcast, Disney, News Corp (the parent company of Fox News, and Viacom) and they distribute their agenda across all spectrums. These entities must be broken up, they have grown too large and too powerful and control the message and their propaganda is spread far and wide. They are no longer a free abiters of truth, a neutral unbiased media, and must be held accountable for the misinformation and disinformation they spread. The American people rely on a the free press to hold our leaders to accountable and investigate abuses in an unbiased manner and report same. The right to own property without the government regulating every aspect of our life. If you own it, paid for it, then no one should be able to take it away for their agendas against your will. Eminent domain should only be used for a public project when there are no other solutions available and after all public hearings and landowner concerns are addressed. The threat of eminent domain must be duly addressed and removed before any negotiation process goes forward. The landowners wishes should always be observed and the Iowa code must be amended to make threats or harassment against landowners illegal. All negation to acquire property/easements should be in good faith. The right to pursue a manner in which to provide for one’s family without the government's tyrannical overreach of our medical freedoms. I can agree that a company may need an individual to have a physical prior to a job requiring a certain level of physical fitness; however, no one should ever be forced to undergo an injection or any OTHER medical procedure in order to obtain or keep a job. Each person has an unalienable right to liberty and that includes decisions concerning their own health and the health choices of their children. The right to bear arms. I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment. Firearms don’t kill people; people kill people using all types of weapons. Infringements on the second amendment restrict law abiding citizens from the ability to protect themselves and their families. Criminals will always find ways to obtain a weapon, any kind of weapon. The right to protest legally. If people want to protest legally, they have that right. When people destroy property, loot, and hurt others in the name of protesting, it’s no longer a protest and the perpetrators must be criminally charged for their crimes. Justice should swift and should be equal for all. Government needs to be more fiscally responsible. Iowa has been doing a good job! We need to continue to keep a balanced budget and cut government spending in order to give people more of their earned money back. I stand for greater local government and financial control. The right to protect the innocence of our children. We have many great educators in our public school system. I do NOT believe educators should be allowed to push agendas not approved by the parents of those children. Pornography is being introduced and distributed online and in schools via tech, books, print, etc. as a property of free speech; I am vehemently opposed to this. Recently, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled in favor of transgender rights allowing them to use the bathrooms of the sex they identify with. Our Legislators must address and remove gender identity from the civil code and protect traditional family values. I believe our rich American history should be taught at public schools. All public education of our children should be pro-patriotic. I believe that we should NOT be indoctrinating our children with Critical Race Theory, or LGBTQ theology. Sexual orientation education should be reserved for parents.

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
The left wants to destroy law enforcement. We must first to preserve and protect LEO's. Defend Law enforcement at all cost. They are the hero's that provide America a service that the law abiding folks honor and respect. We need to give them the immunity needed so they can honorable perform their duties without the fear of being indicted/sued etc. God Bless these folks!
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
NO, funds should remain with the Law enforcement agencies. Other funds should be made available from other source to expand mental health programs.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No Infringement on the second amendment, Including ammunition, accessories, and no permits for law abiding citizens .... We need a National Carry Permit, for those states that do not have constitutional carry, like a drivers license that is good through the Republic.
