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.

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


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.

I am against Obamacare.

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

Never.


ECONOMY

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

We don't have a trillion dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion dollar debt because we spend too much. As a whole, we need to cut spending and cut taxes.

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

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.

Strongly Disagree


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

People who obey American immigration laws should be legally admitted to the United States of America.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have a right to know what their children are being taught and have a say in their education.
