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).

Strongly 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.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Never

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?

Yes, to protect the life of the unborn baby. Human Life Amendment to protect the child from conception until after birth.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Lower taxes, huge decrease in the size of the federal government. It should be designed to protect the USA from outside forces, and to regulate interstate commerce.

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

Agree

Should only be allowed in case of bankruptcy, or extreme hardship that prevents the person from working to pay it off.

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

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

There is no "state church" like in the UK and other countries, the Constitution protects the people of the USA to practice their religion with no interference or obstruction by the government.

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?

For known threats to public health only with full FDA approval, and proper protocols to protect the public. People have a right to refuse or decline based on religious or philosophical beliefs. The Covid vaccines should never have been mandated.

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


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.

C

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, because Israel is the state of the Jewish people, and many US Citizens live there or have relatives there. It is also an important ally in the Middle East, vital for our national defense.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The bringing in of ideology into what should be an organization designed to defend our country from foreign enemies, and threats. DEI, CRT, Woke and other communist/socialist ideologies have no business in our armed forces.


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?

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

I am a Christian, I became a Christian at the Billy Graham Movie Time to Run in March of 1973. Galatians 2:20-21 summarize my faith in Christ very clearly.
