QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Rape, incest, and when deemed medically necessary by the women's medial/healthcare provider.

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

Agree

I do not believe that PPH receive funds for "abortion" care. I think PPH should receive funding for health/sex education for our youth and for providing contraception.

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

Agree

As a child refugee from Cambodia, I'm not stranger to losses and sufferings. I support an individual's wish to leave this earthly world with dignity and minimal pain and suffering.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Agree

It's a public establishment, so it should be required to provide services to the general public regardless of religious belief.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

No government should be allowed to "close" churches but I think when churches no longer function as a religious institution then it should no longer enjoy the protection afforded such religious institution any such protection under the law.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Did not answer

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.

Did not answer


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.

Did not answer

Did not answer


ECONOMY

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

I want to see businesses pay their fair shares of their taxes so to not have homeowners subsidize/make-up the difference in annual revenue shortfall.

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

Spending money on border security and transporting migrant to other states. All the funds that is being drawn from other agency are creating hardship for other agency, it's like stealing from Paul to give to John.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Agree

To secure our future, our children must be provided the education, knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to compete globally.
