QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
However, this needs to remain a state issue and circumstances, such as, the health of the mother, rape , and incest should be allowed as exceptions.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Health of the mother, rape, and incest.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The government cannot sanction a region or recognize one religion above another. All must be treated equally.
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 United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Neutral
I am starting to wonder if this is true. It seems that the current people in charge are the biggest threat to the United States at this point. President Trump unilaterally declared war on Iran, which is a violation of the Constitution, and we have a Congress that doesn't care.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel is no longer an ally of the United States. They seem to own our entire Congress through AIPAC. They are the reason we keep getting involved in foreign wars in the Middle East. They are the reason we are now involved in a conflict with Iran. Netanyahu seems to be the unofficial president of the United States. All of this puts U.S. sovereignty and U.S. national security at risk. It is time to cut off all funding of Israel and sever ties with them. America is for Americans.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Neutral
The only reason Islamic terrorism is a problem is because the U.S. keeps butting it's nose into the business of foreign countries in the Middle East at the behest of Israel. If we would learn to mind our own business, these Muslim countries wouldn't hate us so much. America's foreign policy has led to the creation/rise of Islamic terrorism.
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.
C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Agree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Eliminate all foreign aid, including all aid to Israel. Eliminate federal funding of non profit organizations, groups, and unions. Stop the endless foreign wars.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who respect our laws. People who are willing to protect, uphold, and defend the U.S. Constitution. People whom we share a common culture with. People who are willing to assimilate into American society and contribute.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Sanctuary cities are in violation of federal immigration laws.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Neutral
I'm not sure how government would do this without violating the rights of individuals. If you're talking about KOSA or any of the online safety acts that other countries have imposed, I'm against such measures. Using AI to restrict internet access or monitor of the citizenry is a violation of individual freedom, and I'm tired of children being used as a reason for expanding government overreach. Frankly, it is the parents' responsibility to protect their kids from any dangers the internet poses.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
If you are a convicted felon, you cannot own a gun. Any other restrictions rick being a violation of the 2nd Amendment,
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.
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?
Conservative
I am a huge believer in individual freedom and that the only reason why the law or government exists is to protect the individual rights of people.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
Marriage has always been a government construct to determine rights of inheritance. Frankly, if two consenting adults want to call themselves married, they have a right to do so. It's not anyone's business.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Raised Catholic and believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I do not believe in imposing one's religion on another person because that is a violation of the free exercise of religion.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You need a photo ID for most things you do in life. Voting should be no different.
EQUALITY
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy. And we should look into small modular nuclear reactors as a possible energy source.
