QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

life of the mother only

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


ECONOMY

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

Should have a federal flat tax. In South Carolina, we should cut the income tax completely.

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

Foreign Aid, welfare, special projects, and a lot more

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

none. religious liberty is essential.


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.

D, but there would need to be some sort of bridge so people who have come to rely on medicare and medicaid aren't left out in the cold.

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

private business can set their own hiring standards. Government should not be requiring vaccinations


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

bolster our intelligence gathering capabilities, support our allies on the front lines (primarily Israel)

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


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

anyone who wants to be here; they must be vetted for ties to terrorism and be able to pass a basic test required for immigration and a citizenship test for citizenship.

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

VALUES

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

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

I am a fan of the secure elections bill recently passed in South Carolina and think it is a model that other states should follow.


EQUALITY

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

There will always be lunatics driven to madness by any number of factors, one of those being race. But to imply that racism is some sort of daily/ongoing threat is not correct.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
