Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I won't support an elective abortion unless it is for the life of the mother

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?

The Supreme Court has decided that this is a 10th Amendment State Issue. Federal legislation should not fund any activity that support any abortion activities across the various States

Stop spending on foreign aid, reduce the size of government, eliminate burdensome regulations, close the border

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

This statement doesn't exist in our federal documents. Regardless, the 1st Amendment protects the free exercise of religion

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

Under NO circumstance should any person be compeld to a vaccination

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.

Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.


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. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.

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

IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

I want less red tape/regulations for those seeking Legal Immigration. Let's reward those who want to be U.S. citizens without violating Border Laws. Illegal immigration is not only costing our Nation untold Billions of dollars, but even at the State and local level, the cost is overburdening resources in Health Care, Schools, and crime.
