QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion should only be permissible in the most extreme medical/health circumstances in which an exemption is opted by both equal parties between the woman and the doctor and to the degree agreed upon between the father and mother of the child; this decision should include input from the father, to what extent would be a judicial and private arbitrage decision.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
This is a complicated question and should only ever be considered in circumstances where doctor's can determine if the individual in question can properly consent to one's death, only when face to face with the utmost inevitable mortality, nonetheless; and in instances where a living will equivalent does not exist prior to the decision for which such an "assisted suicide" would be prompted -- to provide guidance for the individual in question.

ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
There should be no use of the monopoly for the initiation of force, through the institution of government or the state or any equivalent, to determine how/to what degree any two or more peaceful acting individuals can exchange in commerce involving the buying/selling/bartering of any product/good/service.

What is your position on the minimum wage?
All minimum wage laws should be abolished and would be ultimately completely unnecessary in a society where economic mobility and prosperity is available to all individuals regardless of ethnicity, heritage, background, socio-economics, language, etc

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
Yes, but only in the interim during an unequivocal phase-out of all forms of the barbaric and long-outdated tradition of mandatory taxation.

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

Absolutely not.

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.) but a mutual decided upon graduation process from our existing incompetent and bankrupt system must be respected, given the millions of existing individuals and families reliant upon the services provided. This should be phased out, first as locally as possible and gradually involving higher and higher echelons of government, only out of respect for the guarantees promised to those who are recipients. No new or additional welfare shall be mandated by the state until the state becomes solvent

NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party alone is the greatest national security threat to the independence of the United States of America. Good relations, trade, open and generous diplomacy with Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, and Tibet are vital to securing security across the Asia theater.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The relationship to me is symbolic, but I do not have a de facto position on our existing alliance with Israël. I think before we address this question its necessary for the Pentagon to immediately cease and desist all tax dollars that are currently financing both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. This is a gross violation of our own sovereignty as Americans and reveals the hypocrisy inherent in the prevailing United States foreign policy, and must be stopped immediately.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
I believe in open borders but only insofar that we re-engage the policies during the era of the Ellis Island immigration system -- vet each and every individual who crosses our border and establish a baseline criminology and background check and then proceed to establish them as "temporary" American residents and taxpayers upon entry and grant the pathway to permanent citizenship for any and all individuals who wish to establish long-term residency and contribute to our economic prosperity.

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
School choice and allowing parents, families, communities, legal guardian to make decisions for their children is the just the first step in pursuing solutions to the existing American education crisis.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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 Disagree
Of course each individual has a right to their own opinion, but I completely disagree with the premise that marriage is a god-ordained legal union between one man and one woman. Government does not have a role to play in determining the legality of freely consenting adult individuals when it comes to the definition of marriage, and ought to play no role in defining such. You'd have to make a damn better argument to convince me otherwise.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Spiritually, I practice a form of unique self-expression that unites Celtic druidism, evolutionary astrology, Taoism, and Irish Roman Catholicism in a fusion belief system. I admire strongly the 10 Commandments and the ethical and moral foundation of Irish Roman Catholicism and express it through a Taoist/Celtic Druidic lens, guided by the foundation of Babylonian astrology, transformed into the modern-day evolutionary astrology archetypal language. I believe that integrity and faith are both equally integral to my personal belief system. Scientifically and perhaps more arguably pragmatically my praxis is logotherapy and the positive psychology movement of 20th Century psycho-spirituality. One day I can only hope to expand such innovation.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Agree, but I would need clarification on what gender ideology means. I think better would be to improve upon early childhood exposure to health education, introduced very carefully, thoughtfully, and whole-heartedly around the age of 5th grade (a time when puberty begins for most females) to provide guidance. Otherwise, I take a very Franco-European theoretical approach where any nudity or exposure to sensitive topics should always be presented very straightforwardly, delicately, or as art.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Neutral
Are the photo ID's government sourced? If there is the option to produce multiple forms of verification or alternative forms, I would not be opposed to that -+ or if the system is to prevent duplicate voting, I would encourage more creative solutions to prevent such.

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College is a beautiful design to ensure that an outright majority of 51% does not perpetually elect to abolish the rights of the remaining 49%. It is as much of a bulwark against tyranny of the majority as it is tyranny of demography.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. But racism is already an outdated mode of expression to explain the existing paradigm. Previously, this includes especially state-endorsed racism must be abolished in all forms including the remnants of the practice of redlining, the suburbanization of the United States and the subsequent reliance on the automobile across pre-determined socio-economic conditions, real estate, opportunities in education, health, and quality of life remain a struggle across ethnic and "racial" barriers.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I do not endorse CRT in any capacity, but institutionalized racism does exist and is a problem and must be addressed.

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.
Neutral
I have never quite understood this discrepancy, especially in an age of LGBTQ+ ubiquity. Can we not opt to have all options, including gender-neutrality in our cultural norms?

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 & D. I endorse an impartial rule of law respecting private property rights across time and space.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The role of the state is to be abolished and replaced with a system of cooperation and co-consenting arbitrage. If it must exist, it must exist exclusively as a night-watchman state and a return to the arguments outlined by the Anti-Federalists among the American Founders.
