QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Disagree

I support a women right to choose.

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

Strongly Agree

If someone is in a extreme amount of pain I support them making the decision that’s best for them.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Whenever a women chooses to do what she feels is best for her and her family. I support a women's right to choose.


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

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

Agree

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

Make the top 1% pay there share in taxes. And lesson the stress load on the less fortunate, I don’t think that’s fair.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

If you are under the United States government paying takes and getting tax breaks from your business. You should by law be required to provide your service unless it’s in danger of his or her life.

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

Separate, because we want all people to feel represented even if they don’t have a religious preference.


HEALTHCARE

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

Always, to keep everyone safe should be the first priority.

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.

A.)


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.

C.)

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 Agree

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

Agree

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

In the United States, Congress should authorize more resources for this problem. Improving social services to Muslim communities is vital, especially in new areas with many recent refugees. This involves governments, civil society organizations, and the international aid community. The United States and Europe should cooperate on standards for internet companies, and the companies should also work together to create standards for right-wing hate groups. In foreign policy, U.S. and European diplomats should try to decrease the intensity of wars in the Middle East by pressing outside powers like Saudi Arabia and Iran to end their interventions, and in general, try to prevent and resolve wars in the region. Finally, political leaders should emphasize societal resilience in order to decrease the psychological impact of terrorism.


IMMIGRATION

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

Agree

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.

Agree

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

All should be welcomed if they meet all U.S. requirements. We are the greatest nation in the world and we can build economically with all that wanna pay tax dollars into our economy.


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian but I support any other religious organization. It’s not my job to tell anyone what religion is more or less important. I support the right to choose and be free from tierney of any persecution.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Laws that would protect the right to vote. And propose a law that makes it illegal for anyone to place strict sanctions on anyone that wants to take part in the United States voting process that is not a immediate danger to our judicial system.


EQUALITY

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

Agree

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

Yes, because we are in 2022 and still dealing with threats to our black and brown communities. Racism is killing our nations process to build for the future of all human kind.
