QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The same circumstances in which the government should not impose arbitrary restrictions that prevent people from making the decisions that are best for their health, their families, and their futures that are between them and their doctors.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Disagree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The minimum wage should be relative to the cost-of-living for a community that ensures the minimum wage can provide thriving circumstances for workers.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Disagree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
- Close and repurpose unused government buildings - Remove red tape that is arbitrarily enforced upon businesses without consistency - Ensure politicians cannot take advantage of political privilege - Invest in universal healthcare to prevent wasteful spending on emergency healthcare by circumventing it through increasing primary and accessible preventative care - Create a universal education system that is non-profit, so the government does not subsidize the profits of education barons
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
They are two completely different things that can and should not be able to influence each other.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Businesses use tax credits; they participate in public programs provided by public dollars for support and use public infrastructure-It is only right they fairly operate to the public that subsidizes them as well. "Violating moral/religious beliefs" can also be very arbitrary. The Bible was used as justification to enslave Africans and commit a genocide against my ancestors, who's to say those same arbitrary justifications can't be used to deny service to someone else?
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.
A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.)
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Empires always take issue with other empires.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Of course it is, the United States' relationship with every country is important.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Disagree
This talking point usually delves into how people feel as though they should be able to opt their kids out of learning history or biology and sociology, so I don't think I would agree with this. Indoctrinating your kids and then blaming schools for "doing the same thing" (they're not) isn't beneficial to children of a society.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Neutral
I will agree with this as long as there is agreement that attempts to physically or socially hold a child to the gender they do not identify with also constitutes child abuse.
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 Disagree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I honor my ancestors and hope to be an honor one myself.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Neutral
This is already law but I feel like this is framed in bad faith.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Agree
I think there could be a reparation-based argument relative to race and generational poverty. I don't know enough the arguments and data to have a strong opinion on it.
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 Disagree
Forcing people like Solange Dekker to go to the men's bathroom does not protect women. Forcing Imane Khelif and Caster Semenya because people *think* they're men does not protect women.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Agree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
There isn't one. It's not a one size fits all. The world needs to heavily diversify its energy needs from renewable energy and clean energy sources.
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?
Choose not to answer
I am not a liberal, I am a democratic socialist.
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.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
To reform and rehabilitate.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Neutral
Badly framed question
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The most effective way to ensure gun ownership is in the minds of protecting the commonwealth and our democracy is for the US to subsidize firearm safety training and accessibility to guns (permits etc.), while implementing tougher red-flag laws and upstream accountability laws.
