OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

If God's will, none.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Abortions should not be funded with tax payer money, but private funds provided by patients or private industries.

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

Strongly Disagree

Though I respect the free will of other people in my heart I can not support legalized assisted suicide.


ECONOMY

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

We should first focus on getting wasteful spending under control

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

I would suggest we go a zero based budget and require each expenditure to justify itself.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

Many taxpayers fund education for their children and or grandchildren through college. College is a choice whereas if it's free there is no value on it, therefore would be taken for granted. Taxpayers should not have to blindly pay college tuition all of their lives.


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.


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.

None. We should continue to have options depending on the circumstances of individual needs.

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

NEVER require.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Close the borders.

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.
