OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
morning after pill, rape and incest up to one month
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
No public funds for abortions. But .... ALL forms of pregnancy prevention pills and or devices should be FREE (tax payers money) for just about any woman who wants it. And, of course, free condoms for men.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
none. its just about right as is
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
to start ..... I'd eliminate ALL wasteful non productive spending on "woke" programs. Then carefully look at some other areas. But we must understand that lots of money we think is "wasteful spending" is NOT because someone on receiving end of that money is spending it and helping the economy. The money is flowing around and changing hands - good for economy.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
Continue tradional methods we have used for years with student loans and grants.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
You can't force religion on anyone. But that doesn't mean religion is not allowed. Prayer and religion is perfectly fine in ALL areas of gov't and public as long as no particular religion is forced on anyone. Separation of Church and State DOES NOT MEAN NO RELIGION in Gov't. In God We Trust is perfectly fine, etc. It means the state can not force any particular religion on the citizens. For example, we can't say our national religion is Roman Catholic or any other religion.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
none .... unless the "church" is guise for some other nefarious purpose and other laws are being broken. Then, the gov't is NOT closing a church becuase if the organization or group is breaking other laws, then it is not under the defination of a church.
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.
E. ACA works fine to allow more people on Medicaid. But open market health insurance for people not eligible for Medicaid and do not have employer coverage is too expensive. This needs to be remedied.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
If people want a vaccine they can get it. If they have it, then WHY do they care if others don't? And, please don't give me crap that vaccinated people can get viruses too and give it to others. If that's the case then maybe the others should get vaccinated then but they don't have to and the gov't can't force people to get vaccinated. There should no restrictions on unvaccinated people. Other vaccines we require of school children have been tested and proven over LONG periods of time to have no detrimental effects. The Covid 19 vaccine was rushed out of necessity, and therefore, no one should be forced to get it for any reason.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
security through strength
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
In accordance with our current immigration laws. And they might need to be reviewed or modified. But, we must use our legistaltive process for any changes to current immigration laws.
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 Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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
But .... exceptions can be made for all the LEGAL ramifications associated with traditional marriage.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is extremely unproductive. Valuable education time should be used to focus on basics of reading, writing, math, and history (without the commentary) then in high school and above focus on Science, Engineering, Trades, Technology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need voter integrity so that our elections are NEVER IN DISPUTE. So everyone has complete confidence in the results.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Early voting for two weeks plus voting day, ID required to vote, only traditional absentee ballots and mail in ballots for elderly (say over 67) and or disabled
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
NO
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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.
I will not be subject to "Tyranny of the OR". A and B. There must and can be a reasonable compromise between A and B.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Create and maintain a society where the MOST people have the MOST: Safety and Security (S&S), Peace and Prosperity (P&P), Liberty and Justice (L&J)
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I understand the following: Liberal democrats pander to the crude and mindeless whims of the masses that lead to policies that can destroy a society. Like they did in former communist China and USSR. Destructive policies mean LESS - S&S, P&P, L&J for more. Our political leaders, of late, seem to NEVER compromise between issues. For example, the left wants higher federal minimun wage and right wants strick immigration control. Have you heard any elected official suggest a compromise between these two?
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Neutral
and grinding your knee into a mans neck who is already restrained and cuffed lying on the ground - IS NOT or should NOT be "consistent with any departmental policy"
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
very very limited, if any restrictions, per our very well thought out 2nd Amendment by very wise men that is still extremely applicable today.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
