OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I’m not going to judge really anyones decision for getting an abortion. As long as you are 100% sure with your decision, we shouldn’t be blocking anyone.

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

Strongly Disagree

If people where more educated on what places like Planned Parenthood provide for various folks. There wouldn’t be a “debate” on what, which, where, and who places like Planned Parenthood get grants from.

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

Agree

We have more sympathy for out pets, than possibly Granpa Paul who maybe has done good all of his life and forced to suffer through a painful disease or illness.


ECONOMY

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

Did not answer

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

Did not answer

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Neutral

If we're talking about just a general service of maybe cleaning, food services & etc, Yes. Because someone personal life shouldn't be information shouldn't really be in the situation regardless. In reality IF, the person refusing service owns said business they have the right to decide how they please.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

If we're remembering what's supposed to be separation of church and state, never.


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.

Universal; healthcare

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

Did not answer


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Did not answer

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.

Neutral


IMMIGRATION

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

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Agree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Did not answer

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Agree

Yes, someone's identity shouldn't be a barrier in any format,

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

Did not answer

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

Agree

If folks know anything about real history other than the miniscule texts we learn in school, EVERYONE would realize alot of what America was built on. Are from vast levels of discrimination, specifically aligned mostly with racial biases.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Yes.

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

Did not answer

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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