QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstances should it be allowed. Human life begins at conception and ends at natural death. All human life is a gift from God and must be protected. Abortion is the murder of an innocent human being.

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

Under no circumstances should these drugs be legalized. Human life begins at conception and ends at natural death. All human life is a gift from God and must be protected. Abortion is the murder of an innocent human being.

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

Under no circumstances should assisted suicide or euthanasia be allowed. Human life begins at conception and ends at natural death. All human life is a gift from God and must be protected.


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?

Setting or increasing a minimum wage only increases the cost of doing business and drives prices higher, thus defeating the purpose of 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?

No

The government must never use taxpayer money to decide winners and losers in business as they have no right to do so and very little experience upon which to judge. Let the free market decide on its own if a business is worth investing in.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Assuming the question is referring to Christian Churches, under no circumstance should the government be allowed to close a Christian Church.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly 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.

D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded. Anytime the government funds a private enterprise such as medical care, it results in almost total government control of the enterprise and substantially lowers the quality of the care provided.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Under no circumstance should vaccinations be mandated by anyone or any government agency.


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?

The United States’ relationship with Israel should be guided by the same principles that guide our relationships with other nations.


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

The current Administration's immigration policy is non-existent. Our borders are intentionally wide open to allow millions of people to freely enter who are hostile to our nation. This is a recipe for disaster. We should immediately close our borders and repatriate all these people. We must return to strictly applying the immigration laws that have been established to protect the interests of the United States and its citizens.


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 have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.

Strongly Agree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology 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.

For a society to be both good and flourishing it must be built upon a solid foundation of truth; and there is only one foundation that will stand the test of time, faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A flourishing society does not have to be a wealthy society, but it will be one in which people care deeply about and help each other because they have heard the words of our Lord in the Gospels and believe, as I do. Whether a person in such a society works for himself, works for others, works in government, in a school, or in a hospital, they will bring their faith to their work and, with the help of God’s grace, try their best to emulate our Lord in all they do.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

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?

This is an unnecessary question because the United Staes of America is, for all intents and purposes, not a racist society.

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.

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. 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?

There is no question ... oil, natural gas, and coal.


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?

The purpose of government is to protect life, liberty, and property. In addition, there is no doubt in my mind regarding the truth in the adage “Government that governs least governs best”.

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?

Very Conservative


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

Please express your views on the 2nd Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I could not agree more.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Strongly Disagree
