OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
If the mother and the child will die to be determined by the doctor and parent(s). Is this actually considered an abortion.
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.
Neutral
There are no safe chemical abortion drugs for the mother obviously not the child or for the environment.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The "state" should not be paying for the killing of citizens, where would this ever stop? Might it continue on to geriatric or whomever the "state" determines to exterminate?
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support this in any form.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
These are GOD given rights, the curtailment of these would be the end of free society, of which we are drawing close to at this time.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Government should stay away from regulating the economy. Look at the mess the Biden regime has caused in the last 3 years.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG is a portion of the global lie of sustainability.
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
No one should have to provide any service unless it is a medical emergency.
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 services are on an unsustainable incline, reality has to be reached. Retirement aged people were forced into the Medicare system and that cannot be simply abandoned until the government allows a parallels system to be engaged in by citizen's own chosing.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Absolutely none, medical included. After the SARS CoV2 fiasco, no entity should be able to force vaccinations on any person.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Disagree
The majority of our "smart" electronic parts are made in China. Programmed by China? Tracked by China? China should not be allowed to own anything within the borders of the USA. If the USA owes money to China what is the asset that they have Title too?
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Genesis 12:3 (NASB95) 3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” I believe that this statement is largely misunderstood. We should be allied with Israel as in Nations that believe in the same God.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
At this time the North and South borders of These United States should be completely closed, virtually no one comes in without the proper filing in advance.
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 often used excuse for the "government school system" keeping the total control is to stop citizens of the State from seeing how inept the government system has become and is blind to the facts of that in itself.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Children need to be protected from inception through to adulthood, when they can make their own decisions.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
ALL rights for the State/government/schools/counselors having the will to decide for children must be stopped. Full Stop.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
No taxpayer funds for gender anything. This is a personal expense item only.
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
Agreed.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in the echaud Triune Godhead, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. John 17:17; 10:30; 14:6; Hebrews 5:11-14
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Only citizens with official photo identification can vote.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
We live in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Thus the reason for the Electoral College.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely. A house divided cannot stand. Those who chose to live in These United States should all live here as "Americans", if that is not your desire there are other places you might be happier.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I agree that is what CRT teaches and is part an parcel many of the reasons the citizens are racist toward each other. This is a new form of racism.
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
The birth biology is how citizens should be referred to etc. What game you play at home is your deal.
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.
C. WE should be good stewards, not blindly following purchased-science.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
These United States currently has vast amounts of gasses, LP, Natural Gas; we should be utilizing this as a primary source to generate electricity. Until salt thorium reactors or something like this technology comes into useable form.
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?
Protect the GOD given rights to mankind.
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
The least amount of Government necessary is best for the citizens, the most morality in society allows the Constitutional Republic form of government to bless the citizens of the government.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Police departments may or may not need to have their current level of funding. Community programmers is one of the dividing forces of culture today.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Shall not infringe. The people basically should own any gun available; as in whatever police and military could own.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
With proper training, and to protect the children in their charge if or until law enforcement arrives to take the lead in a shooter situation.
