OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Reduce the size of the Federal Agencies by implementing ethical AI End Obamacare Balance the budget
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It is a legal fiction, a gross misstatement of the Constitutionally protected freedom of religion which prohibits the establishment of a state religion; a theocracy. It was meant to protect the church from the state, not vice versa and now is used to marginalize the value and participation of Christians in government. It unconstitutionally restricts the practice of Christianity in America, and guts the Constitution which clearly states one nation under God created with inalienable rights.
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. Medicaid and Medicare are necessary evils as long as we are in the current Social Security System. I believe AI will create a paradigm shift for basic care, including health care but until then Medicaid and Medicare can’t be defunded.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
Data needs to be collected, studied, economic impact assessed but it could be done by private heath care or by the government if government continues to be involved in health care. Privatization and capitalism are my strong preference for privacy and cost effectiveness.
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.
B. As the leadership of the free world we should support freedom but draw the line at armed conflict except for self defense or defense of allies.
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?
1. Western civilization is based on Judeo-Christian values, it is the underpinnings of democracy and our moral/legal system. What threatens the Jews and Christians undermines the Constitution. We must defend the Constitution against antisemitism and threats to the Jews. 2. It’s important to separate Israel as a government from all Jews. We owe a duty to the government of Israel as a democracy that stabilizes the Middle East and protects from the terrorism of fundamental Islam.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Asylum seekers able to support themselves, fleeing threats to their survival should be allowed to immigrate under expedited digital processes, to quotas set by Congress semi annually. Educational visas and work visas should be granted on American First needs and quotas. Visas should be strictly enforced. No one needs to immigrate physically until judicial determination has been made. All need to sign an oath of allegiance requiring immediate deportation for terrorism sympathy.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
No such thing as undocumented. Undocumented is a citizen of another country, not subject to our laws, trespassing with intent to defraud.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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
Many contractual legal partnerships available to all for financial or emotional support that don’t involve ridiculously claiming marriage.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m am a conservative Christian. I have been a Lutheran my whole life and went to Lutheran schools. I believe in loving God with my whole heart and my neighbor as myself. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I work daily to surrender my will to him.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy, but maximum security for public safety is paramount.

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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Licensing should be limited to guns being identified to a responsible owner by state law. All guns not licensed to a person should be confiscated. Responsible owners need to prove they have completed mandatory education on proper use and safety. If their gun is used to commit a crime, they share in the accountability, they are criminally liable. Guns should not be allowed in or on schools or campuses. Felons, children, mentally ill, avowed violent, illegal aliens etc…should not have guns.
