QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The Life of the mother, or incest.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
I believe that life begins at conception and these drugs should not be used.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE! It is our Constitutional right to have the Freedom to worship!
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I support religious freedoms in every way.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China and other terrorist countries that are our adversaries should not own any property in our country!
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, It is biblical to have alliances and to protect Isreal as God's chosen people. It says in the Bible- Anyone who curses God will be held responsible. That includes curses on Isreal, God's chosen People.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
I support a capitalist approach to healthcare. I believe there are many currupt systems that take advantage of the tax payers. There should be accountabilty and audits with penalties when the laws are not obeyed. I support Medcaid & Medicare with limits however healthcare is not a right of the people.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE! Vacinations should be a choice.The suggested vacination industry has soured to new heights that are over the top all in the name of healthcare, while the phamaceutical companies have huge profits.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Property rights are important and I support less interference in our lives regarding laws and property rights. I DO NOT support the globalist agenda of "you will own nothing and be happy by 2030". Property ownership is the key to building wealth and every US citizen should have the right to pursue property ownership.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe keeping minimum wages lower helps reduce inflation. Those costs of doing business are passed on to the customer & requires price increases. I support America First job creation which helps fuel a stonger economy with retail & housing.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We have an "invasion" at the southern borders and we MUST secure it. Our Government must obey the laws and must give back the authority to the sheriffs departments to arrest these cartel members, sex & drug trafficers. It is our Constitutional right to secure the borders. The Democrats are allowing open borders to gain votes and change our dempgraphic make up of our country. Illegals should not be allowed to vote!
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
I support School choice. Our Governments schools continue to fail our students and since the ESA's with created, Arizona students reading proficiency has risen dramatically. It is very sad state of affairs to have almost the lowest academic standards in the nation. Parents need choices and I am proud that Arizona has lead the nation in this area. I will fight to protect it!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
NO WAY! It is the jobs of our police departments to keep us safe and defunding them is a chaotic way of the Federal Government creating a crisis so they can gain more control.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
NONE! Our rights should not be infringed in any way, this is our Constitutional rights as citizens!
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
They should be allowed to receive CCW training to be able to carry. I believe we should be allowed to carry anywhere. We are safer when we have the freedom to carry.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To ensure that our rights are guaranteed and protected including the protection of our unalienable rights of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
We must protect our children from the sexually explicit materials and those who have allowed it should be held accountable with severe consequenses.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
The government does not own our children. It should be the parents responsibility through the age of 18.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
NEVER! These surgeries should not be allowed until they are age 21.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
Families should be strenghtened not undermined. The birthrate in the US has dropped and I support family incentives instead of incentivising single parents. We should reverse the incentives similar to what Hungary has done.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again believer in Christ and I support our Constitutional rights to have the freedom of religion and protect our God given Inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I pledge to protect our freedom to worship and love God as we choose.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need ID to get on a plane, to buy alchohol. We are loosing site of what is right and true when we allow illegals to vote in our elections.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College vote is a balanced vote that must be protected so every state in the nation has full and proper representation. We The People must be Heard and represented! All of us, those is rural areas should be heard just as much as the highly populated areas.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It is when we implement DEI and ESG. Those ideologies should be eliminated.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I believe prior to the new DEI ideology being implemented, we were less racist in our country. Once this idealogy was implemenmted we bagan a downward spiral that promotes racism based on skin color. That is racism!
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
This is unfair against womens rights and is a backwards slope against women. It also eliminates the protection and safety of girls in schools. We should have a stronger stance against it.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Fossil Fuels are the most reliable sources of fuel and we must become energy independant again!
