QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Life of mother, rape and incest.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Taxpayers should not pay the cost of bad decisons. It is not a public matter. Accept responsiblity.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Neutral


ECONOMY

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

Tax reduction instills growth and new development.

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

Labor is the biggest cost in government and it should not be the primary employer of the State.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

Higher education insitutions should reduce the cost of education.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Never!


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 insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, but should not replace the options of having private healthcare.

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

Government should educate the public on any given critical situation and provide the remedies, if possible, for individuals to decide on what measures they should take. However, a mass catastrophic event that would require immediate medicine to save lives and prevent disease might be necessary, Example Tetanus.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Stop all backdoor funding to Islamic organization that funnel those funds to the extremist. Break the cycle of Islamic education to their young generations that promote hate and violence. Promote and educate the Islamic youth of other options. Special ops to eliminate groups that are violent.

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

Border states should try all legal means to force the federal government to follow the law and secure the border. Border states should sue to get their money back for doing Washington DC's job.

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

Follow the immigration quotas set by Congress. Immigration allowed under the strict guidelines of political persecution. Controlled foreign aid to nations to help better their economies and instill basic human rights instead of mass migrations to the US.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition

In-person voting with voter ID.


EQUALITY

Not a threat. Racism in the United States is used to subvert the values of the country. Education is the key to providing solutions.

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

Strongly Disagree


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.

Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
