OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
With today's advanced medical services, selective abortion would be a rare occurrence in the circumstance where the physical life of the mother is in danger.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Taxpayers money should not be used to fund the killing of children.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support laws that promote the killing of others.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The income tax should be eliminated. Use tax would be a better source of revenue
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Eliminate all government spending that is not specifically addressed in the Constitution.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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
The American people should be free to live and operate businesses as their conscience and beliefs compel them to do so.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
There are no circumstances where the government can close churches.
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.
Taxpayer funded healthcare should be abolished. People must be allowed to choose their own medical coverage.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccine manufacturers must be held to the highest standards and responsibility for harm caused by them as they have been in the past. Vaccines must be voluntary and there must be parental permission for minor children to receive them.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The United States should use the full force of its resources to eradicate the threat of all terrorists, both foreign and domestic.
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 support Israel as a free nation.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The United States should use all its resources to secure our boarders to stop illegal immigration.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We have a system that allows people from around the world who can prove they need or want to be here to do so and become US citizens. Our immigration laws must be followed.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents are entrusted with the education of their children and to choose the best environment for them. More school choices are in the best interest of the children.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
Individual responsibility and liberty are necessary for a free people to live and prosper. This is found in Judeo-Christian values
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Almighty God created man in His own image, created them, male and female. There are only 2 genders and they are equally protected under the law.
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 Agree
Government does not have the authority to alter what God has spoken and ordained as a covenant.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Critical theory is just that - a theory being used to divide people, cause animosity and distrust among people, to agitate and cause disunity.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, the Creator and Savior of the world. I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has authority over all of life.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
All people must prove that they are eligible to vote by providing proper identification.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID required to vote. All voter records must be kept up to date, removing deceased and non-residents for the voter rolls. Hand counting of all ballots to have provide accuracy. Remove ballot drop boxes from remote locations. Tabulators and ballots must match to certify elections. Absentee ballot application signature and return envelope signature must match to validate the ballot.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
We, the human race, need to stop allowing people to get us to believe things that aren't true, just to keep us divided. We must develop discernment and take a look at the sources and reasons for many of the relationship problems we are experiencing and choose to come together as people.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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.
A.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Neutral
I support safe practices to extract oil and natural gas resources. America has more than enough of our own natural resources that we do not need to be begging other countries for them; countries that do not share our values of freedom and liberty.
