QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Life of Mother would be the only circumstance that should be considered.
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 Disagree
I am 100% pro-life and no chemical abortion drugs should be allowed as an option to abort a child.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NEVER.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Again, this is not as black and white in my opinion, but free enterprise should address any of the issues I see from this statement.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It is in the sense they have always been a strong ally with whom we share many values and beliefs. But we cannot continue to fight other people's fights on our dime. We must look at other ways to always support our allies, but money cannot be the end all. We must be fiscally responsible with our own problems at home and find diplomatic solutions anytime our allies need our help.
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 and D - Just like with anything that the government touches, if we must provide healthcare to those who cannot afford or are on fixed incomes, then this source of funding must be monitored closely and always guarded against abuse on the taxpayer's dime. Not to mention anything that is government funds seems to cost an arm and a leg to those who can afford it privately. So, I wish to keep the government side of healthcare kept to a necessary minimum and allow free enterprise to roam freely.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I would have to lean with no circumstances ever. I know my stance on it for myself and my family, we will never be coerced to take a vaccination we don't agree with. We will always walk away and find another option. Not sure on this one.
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?
It needs to remain where it is at. Should a business wish to attract betters employees and pay is one of those ways, it must be done through free enterprise. The market must remain the best way to influence pay across the board.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
BUILD THE WALL!!
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
It is time, as public education continues to go the route of DEI, CRT, LGBTQ, etc...that we allow parents to have the final say in where their dollars go, so they may support the type of education they believe to be right for their own children. I cannot support a Christian family, wanting to see their children raised in a Christian school, to be forced to give their tax dollars to a school that wishes to instruct doctrine that goes against those Christian values.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None, I would refer you to the 2nd Amendment.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
This will require serious training, in my opinion however and will need further studying how to best implement this in schools.
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?
To protect my individual liberty. Period. NOT TO SPEND MY MONEY HOW IT SEE's FIT!
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?
Conservative
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
All decisions!
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am Christ centered. My life will always be anchored in the Word of God and focused on living like Jesus. I love everyone and only desire to see them succeed. I do not have to conform to this world or its beliefs, in order to be kind to all. BUT, there is a Truth that must be recognized in this world. The real Truth that comes from the source of God, is the only way I can live my life, as without it, I have no true North, no real guide to what life is about. So bottom line, I will always serve God first in all my actions, and in a world that does not know Truth, I will always keep God as my focus and love all through Him. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Are you crazy??
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No
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
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) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I'd love to see nuclear continue to be explored. However, I know we have plenty of oil and natural gas here to sustain our way of life for now. How about we stop wasting electricity on the bogus "green" agendas? They waste lots of natural resources.
