Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Not at all, but only if under extreme circumstances to save the mothers life, but at the same time efforts should be made to save the unborn as well.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

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

Tax code should be simplified. and there should be more equality. Reduce the taxes for the middle class and small business.

I would reduce the amount of funding for foreign governments, EPA , and eliminate many government agencies that are just too big.

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?

Never, per the Constitution there is a seperation of Church and State as well as the Federal Government.

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.

The government should be allowed to require immigrants to be vaccinated or cleared of carrying major illness before entry to the country. But an employer or School should not have authority over personal medical information.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Be more restrictive to individuals who enter the country on Education, or work visas that are from Islamic Countries of Origin. The government should do a better job on background checks as well as vetting those entering the country.
