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 Disagree
Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right.
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 Disagree
People should have access to abortion pills, we shouldn't scare people and try to call it "chemical abortion".
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Elective abortions should always be allowed.
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?
The federal government should not have a role in limiting abortion, the only person that should have a role in limiting abortion is the person who is pregnant.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Transitioning to a system where workers have ownership and control over where and how they work and only those who work are allowed to divide up pay and profit.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Yes
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Churches should not be endorsing, volunteering or donating money to political campaigns or lobbying the government. Our laws should be made to fit human needs not a certain religion.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
If a clear majority of society has deemed it to be necessary for public health.
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.
A. Universal Healthcare
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 Disagree
We should be working with The People's Republic of China to work toward a better future for humanity.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
No, we need to cut all ties with Israel, we need to stop funding their weapons, healthcare and free college and spend that money on citizens of our own country.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
People are tired of fighting for rich men's wars and then coming home with PTSD and not being properly cared for.

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Voucher programs and charter schools have shown to be only used to take money away from public schools and force them to fail. Home Schools and Private schools need to be more tightly regulated to make sure they are meeting state and federal standards.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree

Keep government out of people's romantic relationships.
