QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of people who are frozen in this state if not millions. It is a horrible sin that they were created in the first place. There is no easy or good answer for what can be done in this situation. Most of these people will simply be let to die or decompose in frozen state because their bodies can't stay that way forever before they break down.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree

Never ever should they be given money.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Means that one specific Church can't be forced upon the people. However our country is only meant for a Christian people.


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.

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?

Sure, but it should be from the private sector.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree

Our biggest threat.


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.

Get government out of health care. Require all prices on the websites of hospitals/doctors offices for real competition. Don't limit people from buying their medications overseas to reduce costs.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

Any database can be hacked.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

Government only steals and kills by its very nature.

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

All taxation ins theft.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

Where in the Constitution does it talk about public education? It doesn't. It is the duty of the family not the government to provide.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
