If it is an abortion is an elective abortion this means that the abortion is being used as a means of birth control. The preamble to the Declaration of Independence asserts that all individuals are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government is instituted to protect these rights, and I firmly believe that all life, regardless of age, should be protected.

Strongly Agree

I oppose the use of chemical abortions as a form of contraception. I believe that birth control methods proven to be effective, such as the daily pill, which inhibits ovulation, should be accessible over the counter for adults aged 18 and older. Similar restrictions that apply to tobacco, including providing information about potential risks, should also apply to these types of birth control.

Strongly Agree

I believe that nonprofit organizations, including Planned Parenthood, which operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, should not receive tax dollars. These organizations should leverage their nonprofit status and merits to raise funds independently. In my view, charity and assistance programs are best left to the private sector, and government should not be involved in such matters.

Strongly Disagree

The preamble to the Declaration of Independence asserts that all individuals are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government is instituted to protect these rights, and I firmly believe that all life, regardless of age, should be protected.

I advocate for free market principles and reject the idea that the government has the constitutional authority to establish protected classes of citizens. There appears to be a misinterpretation or distortion of the 14th Amendment, which clearly mandates equal protection under the law without creating special classes of individuals.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in free market principles and equal application of the law and reject the idea that the government has the constitutional authority to establish protected classes of citizens. Private businesses, distinct from government entities, should have the freedom to operate as they wish, as long as they do not infringe upon people's life, liberty, or property.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party poses major threats to the US in military, cyber security, IP, and global economy. To address, I propose restrictions on foreign land purchases, bringing industries back for oversight, and reviewing immigration programs for stricter checks.

Yes, the United States' relationship with Israel is important to me for religious and strategic reasons. However, the ongoing conflict leaves me weary. I'm tired of the bloodshed; I don't want to see more lives lost. The true victims are the soldiers and civilians caught in the crossfire, enduring the consequences of failed diplomacy.

As a veteran, I've experienced the shortcomings of socialized medicine through the VA. While generally aligning with option D, I propose a restructuring of the VA. Close most facilities, keep select ones, and establish a single-payer system for veterans. The VA's role would focus on disability compensation and medical bill coverage.

Individual choices shouldn't be coerced by government, schools, or employers. Personal responsibility is key; I'm accountable for myself, and you for yourself. Education promotes informed consent, respecting individual autonomy.

Strongly Agree

Property rights are a fundamental right enshrined in the constitution. The founders recognized property ownership as inherent. Without it, essential freedoms like association, speech, assembly, and economic freedom are unachievable.

Wages should reflect value and contribution, aligning with meritocracy. Minimum wage fosters unrealistic expectations, ignoring experience and true value. Internships should be compensated for their genuine contribution.

No

I oppose the use of environmental and social issues, including ESG ratings, as criteria in deciding where to invest public funds. I believe that companies should prioritize their responsibility to their shareholders above all else. Introducing ESG metrics diverts attention and resources away from shareholder interests and toward external influences.

Strongly Agree

I fully support President Trump's stance on securing the southern border. It's imperative to enforce our immigration laws and physically secure the border. I propose stricter measures, such as imposing a minimum fine of $40,000 on industries, including agriculture, for every failed I-9 audit. This penalty aligns with average wages for American workers in these sectors.

Strongly Agree

I fully support education funding where dollars follow the child, enabling parents to freely choose their child's school. I support Trump's stance to abolish the Department of Education, as its top-down approach stifles critical thinking and curiosity. Education should be decentralized, empowering parents and communities to shape education based on local morals and values.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support redirecting funds from police to community programs. Law enforcement needs should align with community preferences, not federal or state initiatives. Grants should be decided by citizens through ballots, preserving community autonomy.

I believe in due process of the law, and if an individual has been convicted of participating in a violent crime, they should not be allowed to carry firearms. However, I also believe in the principle of grace, allowing non-violent offenders to appeal for the restoration of their rights after serving their sentence.

Yes

Yes, currently, schools are soft targets. We should do a better job at hardening our schools by allowing teachers who wish to carry concealed firearms and have been trained to do so.

No

No

The general purpose of government, in my view, is to uphold and protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. It should provide essential services, such as national security, infrastructure, and public safety, while also promoting economic stability and individual prosperity. Additionally, government should ensure fairness and justice, uphold the rule of law, and represent the interests of the people it serves.

Very Conservative

When considering various issues, I align with conservatism. Prioritizing individual freedom, limited government intervention, traditional values, and a strong national defense. I value personal responsibility, free markets, and constitutional principles. I adopt a noninterventionist stance in foreign policy, favoring peace, commerce, and diplomacy.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely! We must take every measure to shield children from predators and all forms of abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation. It's critical to consider the long-term consequences, as bodily mutilation often leads to serious regrets, similar to tattoos. Furthermore, there's a lack of conclusive studies supporting the effectiveness or safety of gender mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Parents should absolutely have the right to make decisions for their minor children. They are the primary caregivers and in the best position to understand their children's unique needs and make choices that align with their family's values and beliefs, except in the case of gender ideology and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Disagree

No, taxpayer funds should not be allocated to provide gender transition services. However, in rare medical conditions like Müllerian agenesis or Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome, coverage should be provided.

Strongly Agree

I do believe that marriage is a God-ordained, sacred union between one man and one woman. However, I hold the view that the government should not interfere in marriage, as it is a commitment between two individuals who love each other and their creator. As imperfect beings, we are not entitled to judge others, knowing that we will all be held accountable for our actions by our creator.

My spiritual beliefs and values are rooted in a reverence for traditional Christian teachings. I cherish the importance of rational inquiry and individual conscience, allowing for personal interpretation and application of these teachings in a way that aligns with my faith. I uphold the principles of religious freedom and the separation of church and state, while striving to live a life guided by compassion, morality, and the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and grace.

Strongly Disagree

No. I believe that individuals should be required to present valid photo identification in order to vote. However, our current situation is complicated by efforts to provide illegal aliens with identification, potentially affecting elections. This issue needs to be addressed in order to ensure that valid identification also confirms citizenship and eligibility to vote.

Strongly Disagree

I oppose states joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, as it would render the Electoral College irrelevant and tarnish the aspects of federalism. Abolishing the Electoral College could result in a mob rule mentality, where densely populated areas hold disproportionate sway over policy, disenfranchising rural populations. We see this imbalance in states like Oregon, where densely populated areas have more influence over policy than rural areas, silencing minority voices.

No, I do not believe that racism poses a threat to domestic security in the United States. I see racism as a divisive tool rather than a genuine threat. While racism may have been in decline, it has been revived by divisive individuals seeking to oppress and victimize noble and strong people. I believe that the only form of racism that exists is 'reverse racism,' where individuals falsely claim victimhood despite perpetuating racism themselves.

Strongly Disagree

No, I do not agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT). I believe CRT promotes racism rather than addressing it. Instead, I advocate for meritocracy, where individuals are judged based on their value and character, rather than being categorized by race or ethnicity.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly oppose biological males participating in women's sports or using facilities designated for biological women. It's morally wrong and indecent for the opposite sex to invade private spaces. Scientific evidence shows physiological differences, disadvantaging women in sports against biological men.

I choose options A & C. It's our responsibility to protect local environments. Industries must be accountable for harm caused. Regulatory bureaucrats often protect industries, tolerating harm. Our energy sector is vital, supporting our economy and currency's value.

I believe hydrocarbons are the most reliable energy sources. Thorium-based nuclear reactors show promise. Decentralizing grid infrastructure is a must to avoid mass outages; decentralization ensures resilience.
