QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I'm not in favor of any abortion
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.
Choose not to answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Since I don't agree to abortions i would prefer no public funds used for abortion
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
We need our farms and our property rights to be upheld as they are part of our United States Constitution
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wages are dictated by States not always reflective of Current economic times. I do believe in setting a minimum 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?
Miss use of funds and not paying taxes on the Church property
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
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.
I don't like the concept of "universal healthcare" Medicare and Medicaid have already been earned through years of hard work and dedication
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I don't believe in mandated vaccines. I leave that up to individual's and religious believes. while in the Military there were mandated shots when we were required to go to other countries
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 belief that Israel is our best Ally, and we should stand with them whole heartly. My Bible very clearly states they are GOD"S people and we should stand together as brothers and Sisters
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Close the Borders until we solve our own problems
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
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Being involved with foster programs for many years and adopting 6 children it is most important to protect children from all kinds of predators and false teachings.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Children under 18 years of age are usually not able to clearly communicate their feelings and make sense of it all. Its ultimately falls back on the parent of the minor. Such as sexual or unwanted communication
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
We are born as a male or female for very good reasons. The reproductive ability to dose not give the opportunity to reproduce children. Tax dollars should be used for better sources other than altering gender which should fall back on the individual responsibility.
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.
Religion is not what gets you to the Mastered table. Religion is not the Answer it is a personal relation with God.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need to go back to voting booths with ID provided. The only exception would be something similar to our Military they are deployed
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Agree
So many times, the Electoral vote is the same as our votes.

Racism is created by a lack of understanding about the human race. A lot of times race is used politically motivate to separate and created different race and sometimes even invoke wars internally within the US
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
