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?
Abortion Permitted in cases of rape or incest and in cases in which the mother's life is in danger due to the pregnancy only. In the case of rape or incest, the mother must decide in the first 6 weeks. If the mother has not decided with the first 6 weeks then no abortion.
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?
Energy Independence. Lower Taxes. Slash Bloated Government Jobs. Stop Illegal Immigration.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Of course it does.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
As a Capitalist yet someone who loves nature, I've always believed that we need to strike a balance between Americans being able to afford to feed their families and heat their homes and being able to help provide those necessities by doing as little harm to the environment as possible. At this point we are not in the position for alternative energy to supply those needs. We must drill while making sure safety regulations are strictly adhered to.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Separation of Church and State is exactly what it means. I believe in God and God guides me in my decision making but we must make our policy decisions based upon matters and facts at hand. The important thing is that my belief in God allows me to have a good moral compass to make the right choices.
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?
The Government under any circumstances should never be permitted to force vaccines on any American. I wrote my graduating paper on this matter over 30 years ago.
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
I am half Chinese. My grandfather was a Senator when China was still a free country. When Mao took over they imprisoned my father's family and drained their bank accounts. My Grandfather "disappeared" and was never seen by my father again. The Chinese people are good people. However, Chinese Government is Evil. China is the is the number one threat to the United States.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Our relationship with Israel is vital because they are our biggest ally in the middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Woke Ideology. I remember how motivating the recruiting commercials were in the 80s and 90s. Now the demographic of people that would normally be attracted to and love to join the military feel that they would not fit in such a watered down shell of what the military used to represent.
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?
Those who can contribute positively to America.
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
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 Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian with Godly morals and values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural Gas
