OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Recognizing that reproductive rights are a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, I believes that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

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.

Choose not to answer

People who have to make the decisions for their love ones end of life choice. It shouldn’t be the state making those decisions for us, it should be the individual such as a living will or directive.


ECONOMY

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

Only sales taxes on non-essential items would be voluntarily and equally applied taxes. All other taxes should be reduced and/or eliminated.

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

Those agencies that are not productive and are expensive to operate.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree

Fund the student, not the schools. This benefit many students in private schools, and alternative education curriculums. Some students do not want to continued their education after the last year of high school. Funding any college should be up to the individual, not the taxpayers.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Neutral

It should be up to that individual or business. The weight of public opinion is better than government.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None


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.

Healthcare should be voluntarily funded. The medical decisions should be the individual. Those who aren't able to afford healthcare,should have non-taxing trust through various donations..

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

Traveling to another country


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Keep our solidiers here.

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.

Neutral

This is a fight that there are no winners.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree

We should have a Welcoming Center

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

All as in the past during the Great Migration.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Neutral

If only that was a true statement. Our government is the nightmare that the founders warned us about.

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Neutral

i support the individual.

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

Neutral

Knowing history is crucial in prevention of mistakes, and making everyone included.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

The Golden Rule.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Agree

It's a natural right to be self-governance.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Approval voting


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Government policies

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Choose not to answer


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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.

Nuclear is the way for now, until a better form is found.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Neutral

Only with consent of the property owners and the oil & gas companies.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Barely exist

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?

Moderate

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Do no harm. Sometimes government needs to get out of the way.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Not applicable

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

Legalize cannabis and psychedelics for those who are need of treatments for various ailments. People shouldn't have to suffer if there are therapeutics. Dilute the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, an agency that cost money for the taxpayer, and make it an unit of the Texas Rangers.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Disagree

Law enforcement should be held at a higher standard just as any other professionals. Liability insurance would be great as other professionals carry it for various issues from property damage to death.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Disagree

End the War on Drugs, and focus on crimes against person and property, Years worth of rape cases and unsolved homicides need resolutions.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Law enforcement know when to use it, and not to standby.

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

Neutral

Lawsuits are filed everyday. Everyone is allowed to have his day in court.
