QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I do not believe in abortion except in the case of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is endangered


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.

Strongly Disagree

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

The Church should be free to make a moral and spirit decision; and, the State should honor that decision. The Separation of Church and State must continue.


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.

Strongly Disagree

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?

Support a strong National Defense and strengthen our law enforcement agencies; and, improve and fund our Counter-Intelligence Agencies


HEALTHCARE

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

Never. Vaccination is an individual right.

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. It is my opinion, that everyone should pay teas and if they do pay taxes then we should provide them some sort of healthcare be it Medicaid and Medicare.


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.

Strongly Disagree


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have said, " Yes, I Strongly Agree.  In my opinion I believe we need to reduce the National Debt and we can only do that by spending less."

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

Everyone who is able to work should work to better their standards in life and should pay their fair portion of taxes due. Saying this I firmly believe that the amount of taxes we all pay should be fair and equitable to all working people.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Re-start the construction of the Border Wall immediately

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.

Strongly Agree

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

Individuals that love America and will better our Nation and not try to destroy our Country


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

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?

None. I believe in the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution that states that we should have "A well regulated Militia, necessary to the security of a free State and the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

In invite any and all to run a name check on me "Felix Rocha Jr" on the internet. There they will find that I have very strong views against homosexual beliefs, abortion on demand; and, the release of career criminals, child molesters and major drug dealers from prison to stop them from preying on our children and the general public.

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?

My personal view are very conservative.


VALUES

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

I am a Christian that believes that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I also fully believe that the Bible is the Word of God.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

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 it is not. The biggest domestic threat to our Nation is the lack of Border Security that was caused by President Biden when he stopped the construction of the Border Wall, the Energy Crisis that was also caused by President Biden when he shut down the Keystone pipeline and our nation's Inflation situation that was also caused by President Biden and the Democratic party,
