QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To save the life of mother
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Scraped and redone
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Hard to say because I don’t have the detailed budget to know where all the money is being spent
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
Once a stable funding source is identified
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Every business has a right to refuse service to anyone. It may come back to hurt them in the loss of business.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
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.
B - provided a stable funding source is identified
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
In the fifties when I started school I was required to have vaccinations for polo, measles, mumps. I don’t recall hearing any problem with that. It saved lives.
NATIONAL SECURITY
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
I do not know enough information on these issues to agree or disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A fair method of entry should be established and followed.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Once a fair list of reasons for entry are established then that’s what should be followed
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Neutral
Not sure what Judeo-Christian values are. I understand each religion teaches its values and that is ok.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
Since the start of life there were two genders male and female. Over time they joined and created a new life. The gender of that new life was not chosen by any of the three. So how is a new different gender to be defined
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
Marriage is defined and upheld by each religion. So the government cannot change their values
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Neutral
I am not familiar with the CRT so I have a neural answer. But, I do know that I am not a racist
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Catholic
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If I need a picture on my drivers license to drive, my passport to renter the United States and various other places that require it to prove who you are. Then a picture should be required to vote
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
In Louisiana a picture ID is required so nothing to change there. We are in the market for new voting machines so I will need more information on what’s being looked to determine if new laws need to be enacted
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I don’t see it as a threat to our security, but when demonstrations do not follow laws and Law Enforcement has to step in to enforce law violators. That could lead to domestic threat.
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.
This a 50/50 answer they are both true
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Provide services to the general public that the general public states that it wants and provided funding for it
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
William Wallis for American interview www.William Wallis.net Jeff Courerre radio talk show
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Will work on these issues right away education, crime, less taxes, less expenditures
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
They have an Internal Affairs Division to investigate any issues of misconduct. If they are found in violation of policy or laws then that immunity should go away
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Civil order requires proper funding for law enforcement to their jobs. The money for mental health and community programs need to come from other sources
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None, the gun did not make the decision to commit a crime. The person holding it makes the decision. So they need to be held accountable
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Disagree
Same reason as above
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Gambling should be limited to existing forms and should not be de-regulated or expanded.
Disagree
Children should be protected from sexualization on the internet, in public schools, and in the public libraries
Strongly Agree
