QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Endangerment to mother or fetus; severe birth defects.
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 support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
In the cases of incurable or terminal illness and still in sound mind and had six months or less to live, I would support the legalization of assisted euthanasia.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
Taxpayer funds from federal, state or local governments should be available to assist lower socioeconomic women. It is a women's right to determine what is right for her and her pregnancy, but should receive counseling prior to final decision. A women should be advised of all possible options.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage should be a living wage.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Inflicting psychological or physical harm to it's congregation or others who do not agree with their belief system.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
All people deserve to be respected and provided service regardless of race, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
Should religious schools which accept state funds be allowed to only admit families and students who agree to adhere to their statement of faith?
No
All people deserve to be respected and provided service regardless of race, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
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.
B, C, Healthcare availability is important especially for the lower socioeconomical population. A society is only as strong as their weakest member. Keeping the middle and lower socioeconomical populations healthy and strong will strengthen the economy.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccine refusal is a serious public health problem, especially in the context of diseases with potential to spark global pandemics. Healthcare for example, would be non-existent during pandemics if the employees had not been previously vaccinated.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Neutral
The United States must always be aware of possible threats and have contingency plan ready incase of an event.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Critical components of leading American high-tech products were/are invented/designed in Israel, thus making these American companies more competitive and more profitable globally. Cisco, Intel, Motorola, Applied Materials, and HP are just a few examples.
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.
Disagree
Public education is underfunded resulting in disgusting low wages for educators and programs are being cut. Taxpayer dollars are going to private charter schools are going to schools where the teachers don't need to be certified, curriculum not standardized, and no standardized exams to ensure students are receiving the basic education and private, and private charter school can discriminate as to whom they will admit.
VALUES
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transitions services in some circumstances. The wealthy should be able to afford these services, the lower socioeconomic population typically do not have the funds. Transition services are a private matter. Counselling for the person seeking transitional services are imperative.
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent unless an emergency situation arises risking immediate death.
Neutral
This question is too broad.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Agree
Children should also have books available that let them know it is ok to be different, or that it is okay to have 2 moms or 2 dads. There should be mental health/counselling services available if they have questions and should include the family.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Disagree
Adults should have the right to choose who they marry. It is between the two individuals and their beliefs. Marriage is a commitment between 2 people who love each other. Government had to intervene because of the intolerance of those who were ridged in their beliefs. Jesus said to love not hate. Judge not yet ye be judged.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe there is only one creator, he is a GOD of love. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven except for the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I believe that all life is sacred. God gave man Free Will which means we make our own decisions and mistakes. I believe in serving others to the best of my abilities and defend their rights to choose. I follow the life style the Bible encourages believers to follow.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
Voting absentee by mail ballot should be limited to those meeting at least one of the following criteria: 1) 65 years of age or older on Election Day, 2) sick or disabled, 3) expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day, or 4) confirmed to be absent from the county of registration during voting.
Strongly Agree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Hate and racism is a threat to domestic security. The United States is supposed to be a land of the FREE. All should be able to live free of being accosted and harmed for ones race, culture, or sexual orientation.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Neutral
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.
Choose not to answer
This is a misleading question. Biological males who identify as female? Biological males in transition?
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.
B, D

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Responsible gun owners no matter what type of weapon including AR-15's are not the problem. Every gun owner should have a gun safe. Gun safety course should be taken and a certificate given on completion. Children and Adolescents should not have access to weapons unless under the supervision of an adult, have completed firearm safety course. Heavy fines, the removal of weapons, and restriction of purchasing any future firearms should be imposed on violators.
