OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
planned or in the case of rape
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
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
I believe that should be determined by the woman who is accepted by Planned Parenthood after expaining what PP intends how and when the proceedure is planned, with another person to witness the discussion at the option of the woman
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
That needs to be under what circumstances, including the health of the person who has been told she or he is expected to die in less than a year, even being distraught by the death of her spouse, which was the situation with my two very close friends in Caifornia
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?
The minimum wage should be either considered a "starting" wage or in the case where special needs people will be helped with what are considered simple tasks with a person to assist them performing their work and hours.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
I believe that should depend on the available monies and what priority compared to other issues
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
No situation. Our first Amendment right our Freedom of religion. Unless the church or churches must be closed for a safety reason
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
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
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None unless in dire circumstances to prevent the spread of disease, the age and safety of students, parent's rights and locale of the situation.,
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?
Yes. Israel is considered one of our partners in helping our country prevent escalation of battles escalating into war between countries in the Middle East
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We must have our borders maintained. Without borders we have no Country!
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
Our citizens must have control of what is done with our tax dollars
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Absolutly!
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Agree
That depends on whether children are in danger from their patents!
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Disagree
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.
This is none of anyone elses businness!
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
It has begun to be a problem, because of other people turning in votes for others
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Neutral
That argument has been ongoing for several years. I believe we must consider the value of representing the size of each state's number of voters and our freedom to vote as indivuals citizens.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely yes! We must realize that All Races Matter!
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is the work of someone who is insane!
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.
B. Our son-in-law used to drive to work each day. These days he communicates via the internet, saves him and the agency for which he works money and time. That requires less energy dependence.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I don't have an idea, unless it might be if we can encase the spent nuclear rods in solid glass cubes underground. (It takes thousands of years to destroy solid glass blocks)
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?
Government to serve the people.
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
My opinion depends on each issue. For example our first amendment right
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Without our law strict, fair law enforcement, there could be no community programs. I fully support reasonable, fair law enforcement that protects our people and community programs
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
According to our Second Amendment, It is our right to "keep and bear arms!" I strongly support no restrictions on firearms, unless it's necessary for other's safety.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
My decision, is as a former teacher. There should only be teachers who have proven themselves that they are mentally and well versed on when, why and how to carry a pistol to protect the students from the criminal, (probably insane) actions of those who want to harm students and/or staff.
