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?
This is a personal experience and decision for each person and situation. It is difficult to give a general answer. There could be circumstances that are life threatening.
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?
Roe VS Wade has placed the issue back to the states - either way, less government is better. The act of abortion has become an industry - Congress should begin to stop funding Planned Parenthood
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
From a Biblical World View - there is no separation. We are one nation under God - we are a government under His care. We have freedom of religion. The state cannot declare a national or state religion - that is what I believe the phase infers. We give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God. It does not mean that pastors cannot speak about current affairs and elections. They should.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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 - We have our own borders to deal with -
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The left would have us think the real danger is Russia - but I believe it is China
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
We are called to pray for Israel - we are one nation under God we know our Biblical commands. She is the only other nation on earth built on the principle of God besides America. We are allies. We cannot cast Israel off - it has everything to do with the protection of God over America. We bless Israel and we are Blessed. I also think Netanyahu has changed and the Gaza issue is very disturbing - we do not have all the facts
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
I believe it is the goal of the left to reduce by design our military - they have brought in Woke - forced vaccinations and the gay agenda to reduce masculinity. The world no longer not sees America as a nation of strength - we need a military presence at the border to protect our soil - and not the soil of foreigners. This administration's agenda does not include patriotism.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances - none at all. This is our right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Medical freedom for each to decide their own body and its needs. Parents have the rights to decide what healthcare their children will receive.
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 am in between B and C - We should continue with Medicare and Medicaid - for many that is all they have BUT also we should be able to have private healthcare available for those who do want supplemental policies. Also with the options to choose the Doctors a patient prefers.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
We need to start by lowering taxes and stop the reckless way that Congress continues to spend what they do not have. The burden is falling on the backs of our children and grandchildren.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly 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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This is treasonous to allow foreigners to invade our nation - they are not immigrants - but an army of invaders. This must be stopped. Close the border.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I believe the border must be closed to all right now. ALL....most of these entering are single males. Who leaves home and country in droves such as we see? An army.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
I believe the Founding Fathers did not intend for federal government schools. The states should have the authority over education. There has become far too much bureaucracy - we have indoctrination not education.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
The police will give us protection and enforcement. We need to support them in all ways. Community programs are just social justice platforms.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Its not the gun owners who need restrictions - it is the criminals who are going to get whatever means of a weapon they need to perpetrate a crime.. Guns, bombs, etc. Gun owners have guns to protect their families from the perpetrators. 99.9 % of gun owners are not the problem - it is the other % that wants to steal, kill and destroy. If you put the handcuffs on the police this "other %" goes free and the safe gunowners are penalized.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Disagree
Why do we need more seats? - Justice and Truth can be established with the 9. We know the left wants more liberals for liberal decisions for their liberal agenda.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To have legislation where we can have law and order maintained - to have elections to vote our leaders and representatives into office with term limits - to appoint/elect judges to decide disputes - to protect our people against invaders foreign and domestic - to set our boundary lines to declare our nation. To maintain, preserve and protect we the people and this land that we have been given to be steward over. When a government is good, there is contentment and prosperity for all.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
no
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
no
VALUES
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
This is Biblical and the Word of God is eternal - it never changes. It is the folly of man to twist this sacred union.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
My campaign believes in criminality for the infusing of this perverse ideology which is abusing the children and this criminality also goes for those experimenting in gender mutilation of our children. It is an abomination that is taking place in the schools.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Agree
Never - absolutely not!
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a child of the Most High God and I believe that all who call on the Name of the Lord will be saved. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. My campaign is for God, Family, Life and Country. My yes will be yes and my no will be an unwavering no. I will not call good evil or evil good. I believe the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I believe in voter ID - same day voting and results - paper ballots. I was asked for an ID to pick up a printing order but no ID required to vote for President of the United States. We know that we must safeguard the integrity of our elections - or our voice will never be heard again.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
We are a Republic - a government by representation. We are not a democracy, which is mob rule. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing so all of the people would be represented. The left speaks of us as a democracy - I believe that is an unraveling of our Constitution.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
We are not a racist country. That is what the left wants people to believe to further divide and tear down. They believe in belittling and shaming the white people and victimizing those of color. It is teaching our children to hate America and their parents - allowing lawlessness and sexual perversity. All this is to be the new "NORMAL" Our children are being taught all this in the schools to confuse their identity- break down the family - hate law and order - it is mind control.
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
It is all part of the perverse ideology and calling it all normal.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
I believe climate change is a hoax - it is all part of the left plans to deprive us of out comforts and breakdown our society. It is a stealing of our tax payer money and another confusion for our children to reason with. We cannot handle 100 % reliability on electricity to move our nation forward. We are being lied to and it is all about the control of all areas of our lives.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Our God has supplied this earth with all the water and oil that we will ever need. We have an abundance and enough to last a life time.
