QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None that I can think of

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


ECONOMY

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

Base deductions should increase And States that have income taxes their allowable deductions should not be greater that the deductions by other tax payors

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

Look for areas of obsolescence It appears that some military old Standbys can be taken out by shoulder held weapons just identifying what doesn’t work and changing could be a start

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree

If there are no standards for attending college what incentive is there. There has to be some kind of work ethic. The price for college should not be out of reach but it can’t be free either.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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?

It should be never But I think we are beginning to understand there is a political movement Before us that is taking away our religious, economic and personal freedoms.


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.

None of the above The marketplace should determine in most circumstances what insurance is available. The government should only enter into areas of research or catastrophic overlay.

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

Individuals should be able to make their own educated decisions as well as the decisions for their children in the area of vaccine and frankly other healthcare decisions as well.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Promote economic opportunity and individual freedom throughout the world defend with rigor our country and our people when you known threats are evident

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.

Disagree


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

The size of our GDP is dependent upon the number of people within our economy The productivity of our economy it’s partially a result of the skills of the people within the economy. If employers advertise in the lower 48 or a particular employee with a particular skill set at a fair and reasonable price for wages and that job cannot be filled by an American then I believe that opens an opportunity.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree
