OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
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.
Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax code should be simplified. I support elimination of the state income tax.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Government spending should be limited to infrastructure, (roads, utilities, etc.) as well as education (education dollars are miss managed. I support universal school choice) and finally security, (police, national guard).
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
K-12 is the responsibility of the state so long as it taxes for it. College should not be guaranteed.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No way in hell!
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
There are no circumstances under which a government can close churches.
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.
Probably D, because the system is broken, rife with fraud and bankrupt.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
There is no circumstance where anyone should be forced to take a vaccine.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Public hangings of terrorists would be a good start.
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.
Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who follows our immigration laws and procedures.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Catholic
Marriage between one man and one woman and the families they form are the foundation of civilization and are fundamental to the well-being and prosperity of Wisconsin.
Strongly Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Eliminate drop boxes. Require Photo ids. Eliminate same day voter registration. There's lots of work to be done here.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism has been resurrected as a political issue and is doing more to hurt minorities now than in recent past. There will always be stupid humans and therefor there will always be racism in some form. Black Lives Matter is nothing more than a terrorist organization and they are a threat to domestic security.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Total bullshit.
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.
A. However if people violate laws that protect our environment they should be held accountable.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
