OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In my personal opinion none, unless required by emergency to save the life of the mother. I believe the law should be made and upheld at the State level and not the Federal level.
“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.
Choose not to answer
If this is a drug requiring a Dr, prescription the requirement should be handled at both the Dr level and the pharmacist level.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Choose not to answer
This is too broad of question with many undefined titles to be able to accurately answer.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None what-so-ever.
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.
None of the options listed represent my view.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The individual should have the right to decide in every case.
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. The United States is based on Judeo Christian values and beliefs, and they are our allies.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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
I do not like your terms, "State should fund". The taxpayer's dollars is the one funding everything. I do not believe in any form of socialism.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
I am not sure children are the most vulnerable members of society except in the case of these listed topics.
Parents 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
My personal opinion strongly supports your question, however the laws have been made that say differently. I follow the law or attempt to change the laws I do not agree with.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My spiritual beliefs and values are based in Christianity and Jesus Christ.
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
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
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely racism in every form is a threat to domestic and national security. Racism is a tool used simply to divide and conquer.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
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. Everything can be done with the best concerns and common sense
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear power
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?

No
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
