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

I don't agree with abortion.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstance.

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?

It is the Federal and State Governments' responsibility to protect life and liberty.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I would have a flat 10% tax for everyone except those under poverty. Major reform on our monetary system.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

We need educational reform at all levels.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

Yes

Without having a full understanding of the issue.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

It means that the Government should not establish a state religion even though it acknowledges the existence of a creator that has given us inalienable rights and should not interfere in the exercise of any religion or political party that is not in direct disagreement with the fundamental principles of equality guaranteed in State and Federal Constitutions.

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?

None

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.

Yes, it is important for historical and military reasons.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Inadequate education.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

I believe we should shut down all trade with any border that is not secure.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People that agree with our principles and that have not already entered our country illegally.


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

I would like to propose a Constitutional Amendment that prohibits the Government from making any law that are in any direct violation of the Commandments, Statutes, Judgements, Sabbaths and the Testimony of Jesus Christ in accordance of the original intent of the authors of the Declaration of Independence and the architects of the United States Constitution.

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 Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I would describe myself as having the same beliefs and values as the majority of those who wrote the Declaration of Independence. My fundamental beliefs are; there are absolute right and wrongs, sin and evil are not the same, you can do good with selfish intent and deserve no merit and unintentionally do wrong and be forgiven, and every decision that we make in life is based upon what we believe to be true. The fact that Jesus said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free" reveals that freedom is based on truth and lies keep you from being free. I believe that our forefathers came to the conclusion that all freedom is dependent on the truth that we are to love others as ourselves and that is our one law, everyone is equal.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

We should have paper ballots and same day voting.

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

I believe that weather modification programs are directly responsible for adverse climate change and should be banned.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

I believe that hybrid strategy would be best that includes compressed air equipment and storage, waste reduction, and a law prohibiting intentional inefficiency.


ABOUT YOU

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

I feel that I believe the same way as the majority of the writers of the Declaration of Independence and I sincerely believe that our country has lost its way because the courts have allowed the removal of the Bible and our mostly Protestant history from public education, thus teaching generations that the freedom to do evil was the intention of the writers of the Constitution, legalizing political and religious organizations that are opposed to our fundamental principles of equality.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To secure our freedom.

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


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Strongly Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree
