Philip Lohmann

Strongly Agree

The cost of taking human life shouldn't be taken from the taxpayers. Everyone has their own moral compass, and it isn't right to steal from a person to then give money to something they morally disagree with. I myself shouldn't have to see my tax dollars to go fund abortion.

When the life of the mother is at risk. Rape and incest while tragic shouldn't be a reason for ending a life. However, if that is the minimum to end all other abortions then cases of rape and incest would be allowed despite personal opposition to it.

Strongly Agree

Yes. Every life as value and should be protected. If we cannot defend the most innocent amongst us, then we can't hold ourselves to the accountable standard of being human.

Strongly Agree

Yes. In the words of Mewtwo. "The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

Strongly Agree

Yes. It is drug dealing with intent to harm and kill. It must be stopped.

There should be no minimum wage. I know we are all struggling with inflation but adding fuel to the fire isn't helping. What good is a higher minimum wage when it could cost you your job, business and tax revenue.

Strongly Agree

Yes. We need to end personal property tax and protect the rights of property owners. It is one of Americas founding ideals that you have a right to keep what you rightly own.

Reduce the size of government. 163 State House Members down to 99 members. Senate members reduced from 34 down to 32. Find waste fraud and abuse and shut it down. Investigate all government departments to see who is really needed and who is just a drain on the taxpayer. Cut red tape on business. Drowning everyone in government paperwork has never been known to work.

It means that government shouldn't rewrite religion and shouldn't shut down, censor or persecute those of religious faith when in accordance with their constitutional rights. However, religion plays a key role in moral farmwork of a nation, and it should be protected. If we lose our sense of right and wrong, then government and worse yet the people lose their way in life, and it creates chaos. It is not about control. It is about liberation from what holds you back in life. God sets us free.

Disagree

No. If the government can force its hand to violate religious freedom, then what good is government doing. You have a right to refuse service to anyone given your religious moral teachings. Though one should be polite when religious convictions force one to refuse services to anyone.

C. There should be a minimum last resort healthcare system but mostly it should be handled by the private sector.

Strongly Disagree

No. The people have a right to privacy. Government isn't known for keeping the best interests of the people in mind. The more power you give it the less freedom you have.

Strongly Agree

Yes. I will be fighting to remove China from owning land in the state of Missouri. I will also be placing a ban on foreign Chinese and those hostile to the USA from attending our colleges and universities. I will also be riving our State Guard to help provide better security against foreign threats to our state and nation.

Yes. First from a spiritual and moral stance this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values. Secondly our strategic and military cooperations are vital to fighting threats hostile to both our countries. The economic benefits are also without questioned needed for stability in a world full of uncertainty. Lastly Israel is one of the few nations globally both in government and its people that love America and see us as friends. Such friendship is rare in this world and should be defended.

Disagree

I disagree with open borders. I prefer legal immigration. It's a resources issue. We can only host so many people and the time it takes to integrate into the American culture and values takes time. However, I am open to limited humanitarian support for temporary or permeant settlement during refugee crisis given Presidential approval. Example: Cuba refugee crisis in 1960. We took what we could and now the communities thrive in the USA as proud Americans.

Agree

There only should be limited oversight from federal government for accountability reasons, immigration and hosting international educational events on USA soil. Most control should fall to state and local control. However, School Choice is critical. You the parent know what is best for your child. The less government controls your family the better they will become reasoning thinking adults with good moral character.

Strongly Agree

No foreign government or business for that matter should be funding any part of this country's government. America must not be swayed or paid off by countries not loyal or friendly to us nation and its people.

Strongly Agree

Yes. Parents know better than the system. School choice and healthcare choice are key to a functioning society. Our Constitutional Federal Republic wasn't built on the government controlling every thought and action we take.

Strongly Agree

Yes. Not only do you cause, emotional, psychological, physical and social harm, you have just shortened the child's life by compromising their immune system. Condemning them to lifelong torture is what I would call child abuse.

Strongly Agree

I agree. If one doesn't like this standard, then one should consider looking for a country that better reflects your values.

Agree

While I distain gambling. You have a right to do what you want with the money you have earned.

I am a Christian. Non denomination. I stand with Judeo Christian values. I read the King James Bible. I stand by God, Jesus Christ and his values. I am a sinner like everyone's else, and I know that only through the grace of God can anyone be saved. I will strive to promote his values and hopefully encourage the spread of faith in our great nation. I will not force my faith on anyone, but I will defend it with my life. God comes first before anything else.

Strongly Disagree

If you need I.D to buy drugs, alcohol, drive and more, why not have voter I.D? If you a legally registered to vote, you should be allowed to vote with I.D. One vote for one person in the jurisdiction they are registered in.

Strongly Disagree

No. You cannot correct mistakes from the past by making worse ones today. Furthermore, how would one even go deciding how reparations should be distributed? And what about those who are mixed race? Do they cut a check or receive a check? This is a bad idea. Only moving forward can we create a better nation to live in.

Strongly Agree

Male and Female should have their spaces and be protected. (Exception those born Hermaphrodite/Intersex Biological Male and Female. Accounting for 0.018% to 0.05%: of the estimated population's birth rate of the USA in any given year.)

Disagree

While climate change is real. It is far from apocalyptic. Climate has always changed and does man and climate change have in impact yes but to what degree the evidence is less clear. Transitional climate change should always be made aware of but creating fear isn't going to help. Technological progress and good care for the planet is what we need. Good sound, reasonable management should be key. Not fear based lobbying groups that just want donation money. Follow the science not the noise.

Nuclear Energy is the only currently know base power gride sustainer. Look no further than France or Japan. Nearly all their energy comes from it. It is safe, clean and efficient and it is critical to growing energy demands.

Conservative

I stand largely with conservative values. We must keep what works and remove what doesn't. That is what progress means. It is about keeping the best parts of our nation and removing things that are out of date and out of touch.

No.

No.

To be fair and equal before the law with clear understanding of imperial evidence. You should have your day in court and let your rights and the evidence speak for itself. It should be politically neutral space.

Strongly Agree

Agreed. Age verification should be enforced, and human traffickers should be brought to justice. I will be fighting for death penalty for child rapists in the state of Missouri. I will also be reviving the state guard to go and find the missing children in the state of Missouri and bring them home safe and sound.

Strongly Agree

Though I am for religious freedom. There should be a focus on the principles that founding both this state and this country. Sharia law is not compatible with our state or our nation. You should have a right to practice your faith in peace, but military Islam is not ideal for our state or our nation's future.

Few. Safe storage and knowledge on how to safely handle a firearm. The second amendment is needed for a free American society. We must also revive our state guard. The second amendment requires a state guard, in every state. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Your right as a state to defend itself and the right for an induvial to protect themselves and their family must be protected.
