OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abolish murder. Rape is an act of war. Incest is rape. If a mother has to choose between her life and the life of her child, that is between her and God whether to perform that medical procedure.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Suicide should not be encouraged, assisted, nor paid for by government.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
If government is allowed to establish minimum wages, then it should be forbidden from borrowing which DEflates the value of the dollar.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. First Amendment matters. That's why it was listed FIRST!
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
Being forced by government to serve anyone is equivalent to slavery.
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.
C Keep government out of healthcare
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never
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?
Yes.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
BOUNDARIES make a nation or a state, especially a nation of laws like our Constitution.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
Since government taxes for schooling, ALL funding should follow STUDENTS to wherever PARENTS enroll them; even to homeschool
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Gaslighting children in schools is child abuse and should be stopped immediately. Any funding school funding should be contingent upon schools NOT gaslighting kids with loathing of origins critical theories or gender and identity equivalency confusion cult dogma
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
The state does NOT own children! Parental prerogative is primary.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Taxpayer funds should NEVER be used to gaslight children with gender confusion and identity cult gaslight
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
People should never need permission from government to marry.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I follow Jesus Christ.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
America is a REPUBLIC, not mob rule democracy wherein a majority or larger states can infringe upon the liberties of a minority or smaller states. Electoral college makes that difference. The electoral college reform of December 2022 was fraudulently pushed through an omnibus within another huge omnibus appropriations bill, and since it amends the constitution it should be void as it was not ratified by a minimum number of states.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Critical race theory (relabeled DEI) pushed on kids in schools is child abuse gaslighting, and is definitely a threat to the United States. It also ignites racism and pushes to renew racial discrimination.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
2 genders. If gaslighters want another league, then they can play with themselves. Keep all men out of girl's bathrooms and locker rooms.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
A and B UN climate rhetoric seeks to weaken strong nations, for stronger UN global rulership which should NOT be allowed to override the sovereignties of nations or individuals.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Did not answer

What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The general purpose of federal government is to defend the nation against enemies, both foreign and domestic - and to defend the Trust and Governance eState planning document we call The Constitution
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Keep government out of people's private lives. Repeal the fraudulently ratified 16th Amendment which stole the Power$ from We the People
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The second amendment is clear and concise. SCOTUS 1803 Marbury vs Madison clarified "Any law repugnant to the Constitution is VOID"

Yes
