QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I do not support abortion and strongly support the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in Dobbs to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Nope.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
I feel that churches should not have been closed during COVID.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We must be diligent, support our allies like Israel, and not give these terrorists an inch. Also, we should never again leave a billion dollars of weapons and equipment behind for the terrorists like Joe Biden just did in Afghanistan.

We should balance the budget by cutting government waste and eliminate bloated government programs that impinges on our liberties and freedoms. Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
