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.

Neutral

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only in case of rape where the perpetrator is behind bars, a woman should be provided various options available regarding delivering the baby and putting up for adoption. If not acceptable, she can be provided a choice. Second scenario, when a mother's life is at risk because of a pregnancy.


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?

The current system is fine and we should focus on government's wasteful spending to reduce national debt.


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?

They should operate independent of each other


HEALTHCARE

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

Under no circumstance the vaccines should be mandated. The institutions can only recommend or encourage vaccines that have been studied over the years for short-term and long-term consequences with proven track record of being safe and with efficacy rate of over 98% (like in case of small pox).

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.

Choose not to answer

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?

Secure borders, eradicate lottery system and vet all individuals coming into the country, monitor online recruiting efforts by these extremist organizations etc.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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?

Immigration should be limited to MERIT BASED only. A small percentage can be assigned to those seeking asylum under extreme conditions.


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian - I believe that God created 2 genders - Man and a Woman. I believe life begins at conception. United States is founding on Judeo-Christian principles and we need to restore the values on which it was built.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not. In countries like India with population over 1.3 billion, with 25% below poverty level, India is able to mandate photo ID for voting. There is no excuse for not having photo ID. If there is a section of marginalized communities that are unable to get the photo IDs, government should immediately provide funding to get them the IDs free of cost.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

1. Mandate photo ID 2. Maintain accurate voter rolls 3. People moving out of state should not be allowed to vote in both states 4. Absentee ballots should be allowed under extreme cases only or for people with disabilities and debilitating health issues 5. Any person committing fraud should be punished strictly 6. Dead people should rest in peace


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


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

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?

Gun ownership by law abiding citizens is a constitutional right and should be protected.

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

A gun is as good or bad as the person holding it. Victims can sue the perpetrator that committed the violence and ask for most stringent punishments and compensation.
