QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

While I am Pro-Life (with some exceptions), any approved Abortion should be considered an elective surgary.

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

Agree

I believe that the suffering of an individual should be allowed to end if there is no expected improvement. However, there must be safeguards against abuse of this (such as the euthanasia of ethnic groups or mentally impaired).

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

In cases of Rape or Incest If the life of the mother is endangered


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

The separation of Church and State has been used too often to silence one religion over another. All religions and religious practices should be treated equally under the law.

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

Neutral

A person or business should not discriminate against any group because of religion by refusing to sell products. However, a person or business should not be forced to provide a service that they morally/religiously object to.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The State should ensure the freedom to practice for all of its citizens but should not become governed by a particular religion.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

e United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.

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

I stand with Israel.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

China is the number one external threat to the United States.

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

Islamic terrorists, as with all other terrorists, should neutralized.


HEALTHCARE

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

None. The Government should not chose what is put into your body.

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.

Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

The law should apply evenly to all economic classes. The government should never seize private assets unless as punishment for a crime.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

The government should be limited to the amount of income it receives

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

I think we should simplify the tax code by lowering the number of distinctions between various economic groups/activities thereby reducing the costs for the tax payer and the government.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Our Southwestern Border has become a hotbed of criminal activity that can be countered with increased security presence at our border.

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

State and Federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity that counters American law.

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

Immigrants should be allowed into the U.S. regardless of race or national origin but legally. New citizens should be able to speak English, pay taxes, and culturally adapt to their new home.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Disagree

Abuse of authority is possibly the most infuriating crime in America. All citizens should be held to the same standard.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree

I support increasing funding to our mental health and community programs but not at the expense of our police departments.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

All gun laws are unconstitutional.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Neutral

Strongly Disagree

CRT was designed to address the topic of historical racism not alter facts to fit an agenda.

I am agnostic and I will be judged on my own merits. I believe that a person has the right to do anything until it interferes with another person's right. I believe in service to my fellow citizen.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voting is the important function of a citizen and the results can have far-reaching consequences. It is only reasonable to ensure the integrity of our election system for a fair result.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Photo identification is required and a physical ballot must be accounted for.


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

Children should not be responsible for the sins of their fathers.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

All forms of discrimination invoke violence against our fellow citizens and is therefor a threat to national security. However, its prevalence has been greatly exaggerated.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Neutral

Hydraulic fracking has its advantages and disadvantages
