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
It is illegal. Yet somehow, through loopholes and stalwart protection for the left's sacred cow, Planned Parenthood received nearly $2 Billion of our taxpayer funds between 2019 and 2021, as reported by the Government Accountability Office. This financial windfall has quadrupled since the Trump Administration. What a disgrace!
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.
Agree
I do not support any form of abortion, including chemical abortion. I strongly support safety standards and full accountability and disclosure...
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only in extreme circumstances, where the life of the mother will only be preserved by the abortive procedure. The right to Life is secured in our Constitution. Life begins at conception.
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?
No.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Cut bloat and wasteful government spending. Support and/or revive the 'Wastebook' efforts once championed by the late Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma!
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
General safety ratings, such as the Clean Air and Water Act may be considered.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The government should not interfere or influence the affairs of the church or the citizen's right to freely associate with the church
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?
None. Religious, medical, and personal exemptions should be promoted. As the recent pandemic proved, other methods of community protection exist.
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 - with proper oversight and fair audits for fraud reduction
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 but almost D
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. They are our most trusted and consistent ally in the Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Woke liberal policies and indoctrination have castrated our military. Starting with the Obama Administration, there was a purging of patriotic officers, expansion of the practice of Drone warfare, and rules of engagement that put our military in harm's way. Regime change wars destroy morale and diplomatic effectiveness. The COVID vaccine purge has rendered all branches far from mission ready.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build. That. Wall.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Special Immigrant VISAs need to be at the top of the list, with their immediate families. Educational and Work VISAs should be reasonably processed. National Security should be paramount when assessing country of origin.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
While raising my children I used a combination of public, private and home schooling, according to the child's needs at the time. I support parent's choice to make this important decision for their children also.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The DOE was stood up by Jimmy Carter in 1980. This action, and the removal of prayer in school, have caused great detriment to society at large. We have become such low ranking among industrialized nations, our children can barely compete on the world stage.
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
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower and disciple of Jesus Christ. I believe the husband is the spiritual head of household, and the parents are entrusted with the spiritual covering and direction of their children. I believe we should love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and strength, and love our neighbor as ourself. We are in a spiritual battle, and I rely on the Holy Spirit for direction and guidance.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
A free and fair election is required to preserve the Republic. Voter transparency and validity is necessary.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
The left constantly attach this mechanism for separating the people of the republic from mob rule. Back to our education issue, this happens due to lack of understanding what this entity even is. Man on the street thinks it's a place to go, as an actual building (collage).
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
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
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
The "science" has been politicized and therefore should not guide political decisions.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and gas
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 protect the natural rights of its citizenry
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
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
This effort is a Democrat power grab, threatened by FDR and Biden to get the Supreme Court "in line." This needs to be taken off the table entirely.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Community programs should be supported, but not as a zero sum game where first responders lose funding.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted Felons with prior Violent Offense should be restricted from exercising this right.
