OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only for protection of live for mother
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
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
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 is too high and putting a strain on small businesses. I dont see how they make it. Fast Food is too expensive because of outrageous minumum wages.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
We need to stop spending money we dont have on all these social issues and get back to Public safety
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
No circumstances It sad that people fell for the Covid viruses and closed churches. I believe this was a practice run for something bigger. I dont believe people will fall for it again. We must get the truth out on what happen during Covid.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Its time we got back to faith and morals. No one should be required to serve anyone.
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.
You hit a hot button for me. Healthcare is not a human right and the rates have gone sky high because of the government involvement. Business can no longer afford to give Health insurance to employees. Businesses are now only paying 50% of a base plan and employees are paying more. They are not getting insurance. My daughter in law is paying 750.a month that was offered by the company she is working for. The other plans that were offered were a little cheaper but she would have 14000 out
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Not at all I am vaccine free and did not get a job because of I refused to take the shot with Molina. My brother was in hospital with Covid for 6 months and almost died. They forced him to take the vaccine when they moved him. He ended back in ICU
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, I believe biblically to support Israel at all costs. We have fallen to support Ukraine and no one says anything about the money we are laundering in Ukraine but we cant support Israel. I believe the elected will be punished one day and America if this is not corrected. We need to be 100% behind Israel and provide what ever they need to take out these terrorist
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This is an invasion that is happening and people are looking the other way. I believe we are going to have an attack on our soil with this invasion
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 state needs to cut all funding out of our education system until grades are back up. We cheer when we hit 50% success on Students and that is unacceptable. Kids are not getting and education today
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
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly 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.
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I will commit to vote with my morals. I believe that Jesus died and rose again so that I have ever lasting live. I believe evil has taken over the United States. What is good is now evil and what is evil is now good
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I believe there should be one election day and an ID to be shown to vote.
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?
Yes, everything is racist today. If you dont agree you are a racist. You cant make an opinion without being racist. I grew up in the south and understand racism. The left has made this an issue and that is why we have racism today.
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. Our economy is dying because of strict regulations and laws. The US should be flourishing with all the energy that is available. We need to drill and put Americans to work.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Our water dams is the most important source of electricity in WA. We need to take advantage of our natural resources and not depend on other resources that are not dependable such as wind mills and solar panels. Can make energy with no wind or sun
