QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
only under very limited circumstances
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.
Agree
We should gather safety info on all drugs. I think many have lost confidence in the medical industry over the last few years.
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.
Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Unfortunately, minimum wage laws seem to demonstrate the law of unintended consequences. They just drive up the cost of everything and leave those at the bottom worse than before in many cases. In many cases, those at the bottom end up unemployed.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Monies should be invested for maximum return for taxpayers.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
In general it should be none but maybe an exception should be made for those churches that forment violence.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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 could support C or D.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Not an easy single answer. Many but not all legacy vaccines have generally proven safe but covid vaccines, which are not true vaccines, should never be mandated. Covid 'vaccine' was (is) still classified as experimental. No experimental mandates.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. Israel is probably the country most like us in many ways. I can't think of any other country that we can count on in every way through thick and thin.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build the wall, and secure the border all around the rest of the country also.
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
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
God made men and women. Men can't change that.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Roman Catholic I do wish we had a better pope right now. I don't like the way they treat people like Bishop Strickland.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
Electoral College is very valuable to the country. There's no reason to change or eliminate it. The one slight improvement that could be made is if more states divided their votes in accordance with the winner in each congressional district instead of the statewide winner take all that is most common.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism can be a threat but that threat would subside if there weren't so many individuals and groups (mostly democrats) trying to divide people by race and every other characteristic they can imagine.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
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 clearly evil.
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.
A and C A - Sometimes we drive industries offshore with our regulations and then they are able to pollute with no regulations. Then the contaminated air or water flows around the globe. It would have been better to manufacture here with reasonable regulations. C - This whole green new deal is a hoax. From an engineering perspective it can't and won't work. It's a major money grab that ends when the subsidies end. Other countries are ahead of us and they are hitting the wall of credibility.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Gas, oil, coal in the near term. Nuclear hopefully will grow to displace them over time.
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?
It should be to protect the citizens from internal and external threats.
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?
Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
Depending on the specific community program I may or may not support it, but I don't support defunding the police to provide it.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Very few.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Gun free zones are not criminal free zones. We need more good people with guns to protect our children and the population at large.
