OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Save mother's life
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
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
No aid at all. Money is fungible and no taxpayer funds should be provided to Planned Parenthood for any reason.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
Hard to give a universal answer, specific circumstances make a difference.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage should be determined by the market not by the government.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
NEVER!
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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.
D - But Medicare is funded by mandatory payroll withdrawals. Those who already paid into this fund should either receive the care or get a full refund.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
It is important to support a fellow democracy, but not as important as defending our own country. We must secure our own border before being concerned with threats to others.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Any and all means must be used to close the border and expel all those that have already crossed illegally.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
The free market applied to education will both reduced cost and improve quality. The current monopoly of public funds going only to public schools has resulted in enormous waste for no gain in quality of the education.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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
There is a church defined marriage and a government definition of marriage. The government set the rules for when a partnership qualifies for the tax and legal implications of that partnership. The government should have no say in what a church defines as marriage.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
The Ten Commandments are a universal truth for what it takes to have a good society. Believing in something bigger than yourself and caring for those around you are not just spiritual beliefs but also the secret to a thriving, productive community.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is being stoked by the current administration and their entire political party and their media lapdogs. Most Americans are fine with Martin Luther King's "Content of your Character" vision. The current focus on racism is purely to drive division and keep people from coming together.
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
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
A - Environmental regulations have far exceeded their usefulness. Carbon dioxide is a fertilizer not pollution. Mother nature has a closed loop control system for managing CO2.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Whatever is cheapest and most abundant. Combustion based electric generation in the US is clean and safe. Stop worrying about CO2 and find the most efficient and cost effective solution.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To take care of the issues that cannot be done by individuals or private industry. National Defense is the most obvious function.
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
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
"Shall not be infringed" How could it be any clearer!
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
