OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When the life of the mother is in danger.
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
An abortion drugs have all kinds of side effects, if a woman chooses to participate in a chemical abortion her health must be monitored.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer money should be used to protect our rights as citizens. It is not a God given right for a woman to have an abortion, so abortion should never be paid for by taxpayer money.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Only God has the right to decide when we leave this body. Euthanasia is murder!
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
As Americans we are given by God the right of owning property. We all have an equal chance to get ahead in life, but it's up to us to succeed or fail.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
You should be paid what your worth. The employee has the right to work at a certain job or find employment elsewhere. The market should drive wages not the government.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG is a foolish, we have allowed the government to much power in the use of non - business decisions to run our economy.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never, I believe people have the right to choose when and where they wish to worship, it's none of the governments business.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise works both ways. I can choose to provide a service to an individual or not. It is my business and I have the right to run it the way I want, as long as it does not violate the law in any way.
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.
Unfortunately, many Americans have come to rely on Medicare. At this time, it would be hard to eliminate it. That being said, I don't see in the founding fathers' documents the guarantee of healthcare for anyone.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Every person should make their own healthcare decisions. It might be the wrong decision, but it should be up to the individual or their parents. No government state of federal has the right force you to take a vaccination.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China's goal is to rule the world. Why has the Wyoming's state legislature not stopped the Chinese government from buying land in Wyoming?
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, Israel is our most important ally. We must stand with Israel.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We should only let immigrates into the United States that contribute to our country. We are not a welfare state, never should we allow people to invade the United States, as what is happening now with our southern border.
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
Public schools are good for some, but not the best for everyone. Private schools and home school students, parents have the right to select the best option for their children. If the government is collecting money for private schools the parents should have the right to be reimbursed. Parents should be in control of their children's education not the government.
VALUES
Children have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.
Strongly Agree
Some of the books in the children's section are inappropriate to be in a taxpayer funded library no matter what the age of the viewer.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Kids are confused, always have been and always will be. To promote the transgender ideology to young children is criminal.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Parents are responsible for raising their children. The school is not in charge, the parents are.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Never, it should not even be considered. God made us male and female. Who are we to chance God's creation.
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
God created man - God created woman and the two became one flesh. God is the authority not the government, federal or state.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. By grace we can be redeemed of our sinful nature. This is done by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. It's only by grace can we be saved, not by works but because God loves each and every one of us. The essence of the entire Bible can be summed up a couple of verses. Love the Lord you God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. Though I fall short every day, this is my desire to live for him.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voting is a right of the American people. A photo ID helps preserve the integrity of our elections.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
It would be unfair to the smaller states.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
All crime should be handled in the same way. It doesn't matter if you are white, black, red, blue or yellow. If you break the law, you should be punished. Some criminals use race as an excuse to commit a crime. They should be treated the same as any person breaking the law.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Intuitions use race as a means to get ahead in society, but most people are not racist.
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
God created men and women different. Women are not as naturally strong as men. How is it fair for a man to compete against women in a sporting event? Voyeurism is against the law, keep males out of women's private spaces.
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.
Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. There is very little proof that climate change is man made. Huge benefits of cheap reliable energy by far outweigh the little harm that may be done to the environment, either naturally or created by man. The world needs CO2 to grow plants, it's a fact. Our national security depends on a strong energy policy. Renewables are expensive, unreliable and an eye sore. Coal is king!
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Coal and natural gas are in abundance in the United States. We have enough for the next 400 years, that's enough for all of us.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Never
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
Never
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The simple answer is to give us life, liberty and to allow us to pursue happiness. That being said government protects our God given rights as citizens from the government and each other. Government provides many public services such as law enforcement, safe roads, in some instances utilities. The less government interference we have in our lives the better.
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
God has given us individual rights and freedoms. Life is sacred. The government protects us through laws that don't infringe on others' rights. We are given equal opportunities, but what you do with that opportunity is up to you. A government which taxes less and spends less is the best government.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Choose not to answer
Unfortunately, I don't totally understand the question. I believe police departments should be fully funded to keep law and order.
2ND AMENDMENT
Please express your views on the 2nd Amendment.
The second Amendment is in place to protect us from the federal government. The 2nd Amendment makes it possible to defend all the other Amendments.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
Never, look at what it has done to Colorado. It is against the federal law.
