OTHER INFORMATION
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?
Abortion should be used as a last resort in-cases where the life of the mother is in danger.
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 Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We should have zero taxes on groceries, and income taxes should be a flat tax.
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?
I do not believe there should be a separation between the two.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccines are between a patient and their doctor. That relationship should be protected at all times. It is a violation of HIPPA for anyone to ask about a vaccine, let alone inquire about an office visit if it not with their scope of practice and not limited in questioning.
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
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.
C
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?
I am unapologetic, we should have pulverized them when we had the chance, rather than spend a boat load of money to set up a democracy that they never wanted. They will never ultimately fight for democracy then it will never take root, and this is a waste of our time and resources.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Our borders in general are to porous and we are seeing a rise in Fentanyl, Heroin, and Methamphetamine being smuggled through our borders. Our borders must be secure and our border agents must be allowed to do their job.
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?
Any individual who immigrates through the proper chain of command should be allowed to immigrate to America
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
If it is not ok for grow men and women to say this topic at work then it is definitely not acceptable to discuss within a classroom.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
The civil rights act of 1964 establish in America the law of the land that racial discrimination was to be rejected on its face. However CRT wants to remove all social constructs in-order to fix a singular issue that still may exist.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross and rose 3 days later, and the only way to Heaven is to ask Jesus into your heart.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You need a photo id to buy beer. You need a photo id to drive. You need a photo id to fly. You need a photo id to buy medication. So the very thought that a photo id will displace a voter is laughable.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Must show and ID. Absentee ballots must be sent from the county election board and mailed back to the county election board. No ballot harvesting. Must physically draw an arrow or fill in a bubble to vote. Vote on the Friday, Monday and Tuesday of election
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, domestic security is more about smuggling, immigration fraud, violent crime and firearm offensives.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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
