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).
Agree
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.
Choose not to answer

In self defense only.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce unnecessary and/or unconstitutional federal spending
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
In reality, yes, everything should be considered in doing business with reputable businesses only. But in regards to the ESG example, no. ESG is being used as a weapon to bully
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That phrase is not in the Constitution.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Generally speaking, none.
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.
I pray for the healing of our nation, and the well-being of each and every person.
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.

D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

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

Yes. If you see your brother in need but walk past on the other side and do not help, you really haven't been a brother to him.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Corrupt leadership? Political correctness? Vaxx mandates? Etc.
