OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Neutral

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Between a patient and their provider.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Mother's life should be tantamount

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Needs to be higher.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Neutral

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Repeal grocery tax, defend for profit prisons, ban stock trading.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Exactly that. The two should not intertwine.

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

Neutral

Case by case circumstance.


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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

A

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

Keeping people healthy and alive should not be viewed as a burden.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

We should not fund them.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Neutral

These questions are asked in a very biased manner. They're leading.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

Again, leading question.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Neutral

Case by case instance


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Neutral

What does that even mean?

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Disagree

Case by case instance.

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

Strongly Disagree

There is a legal definition and a religious one. This is trying to confuse the two.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Deist.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
