QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Democrat-RINO's vote to send $600 million of your tax money each year through Planned Parenthood's regional affiliates and right back into their own political campaigns.
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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion shouldn't be allowed for convenience nor to choose the race, gender, etc, of the child. Pro-abortion means making the adoption process easier and simpler and going to an adoption center to find out if adoption is a viable option, and the adoption center putting together a care package to help mothers and couple who need that help.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
Congress could propose a Constitutional amendment to ban most late term abortions after 20 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest, or health of the mother. The "Solomon Amendment" would also stop relentless TV ads and political pandering by politicians for five years after passage by voters in 38 states.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
007 Tax Cut Plan: Repeal the corrupt income tax and the IRS, as well as the employee half of the payroll tax, so that your paycheck would be 30-40% larger. Taxpayers would also get a $7,000 per year tax rebate put into their HSA.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
Lower the interest rate on federal college and trade school student loans to the rate of inflation.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Individuals should keep their money and decide where to spend, save, invest, or donate their own money.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Churches, temples, synagogues, and other religious institutions are non-profits that should not exchange money, power, and decision making. The First Amendment is intended to protect religious freedom--not be used to take it away.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The Muslim baker who refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding is losing business by refusing to provide a service that violates his religious convictions, but the buyer has the right to shop elsewhere. Burdening our small business community with endless lawsuits only makes it harder for them to expand and hire new people or even keep their doors open.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Going into a warzone where the use of specific biological weapons is high or where vaccines by medical professionals are absolutely necessary to prevent the spread of illnesses. Otherwise, individuals have the right to control their own bodies.
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.
C) But the 007 Tax Cut Plan would give everyone a rebate of $7,000 per year per person into their Health Education Savings Account. QHDHP's cost 30-60% less than convention insurance plans, and the increased competition and choice would bring costs down and service up, while greatly reducing the burden of paperwork on clinics and other medical providers.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C) And we should bring out troops home from the Middle East.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Foreign policy analysts have been warning about this growing threat since the 1990s, and some of Communist China's Fujian Type 003 and new Type 004 carriers could rival some of the older aircraft carriers deployed by the U.S.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, we need to preserve our important relationship as the only friend in the region in the fight against international terrorism and threats to our shipping lanes and military personnel in the region.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Political correctness and DEI woke culture. The decline in morale has been coupled with increasing doubts about our mission abroad and whether American interests are really served by airstrikes that are celebrated and discussed in terms of their impact on any given president's approval rating.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I lead the floor debate on HB262 to stop Sanctuary Cities policies in New Hampshire and even put two citizens petitions on the ballot in the seacoast and Merrimack to let voters decide the question.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Quality of quantity. There should be no national nor racial barriers, but we should have an Australian style point system giving points for English proficiency, useful job skills, whether the applicant has spent time in the U.S. with no arrests, and whether or not they are sponsored by an American family or company.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
The Education Tax Credit would allow parents and grandparents to send their money and their child to any public, private, charter, or online school that they felt would give their child an excellent education.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
SAT, achievement, and IQ test scores have been declining every year since Democrats in Congress and LBJ got the country into schooling.
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
And the State should get out of the business of marriage.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Agree
Government should stay out of this unless there is strong evidence of physical or sexual abuse.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You need an ID for anything. Why should 20-30,000 out-of-staters be allowed to come up to New Hampshire and ruin it for the rest of us by voting Democrat in our elections and leave us with all of the corruption, taxes, and crime?
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College and Senate exist to ensure that small states retain some voice in the federal government.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
The Democrat Party was formed to protect the institutions of slavery and segregation, then implemented the slave codes, black codes, Jim Crow, segregation, Tuskegee experiment, pumping chemicals into the air in some cities to increase the murder rate in black neighborhoods, burning of Black Wall Street, Japanese American internment camps, Indian Wars (disarming and murdering 2 million American Indians), Chinese Exclusion Act, Mulford Act, and most of the racist actions against brown Americans.
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
A 50 year old professor decided to gender identify as a teenage girl and go back to high school at taxpayer expense and join the girls' swim team. The school district forced 13 and 14 year old girls to change next to that middle aged man just to get his little thrill at their expense.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Agree
Human activity is responsible for about 3% of the CO2 in our atmosphere, and America is responsible for less than one-fifth of that, declining each year. We should still remove the taxes, regulations, and even patent filing fees on alternative fuels, alternative engines, and alternative energies until we have reduced the need for fossil fuels.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Thorium reactors are now showing promise, and the first net energy positive fusion reactor is now online.
ABOUT YOU
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?
Lean Conservative
Constitutional conservative, like Congressmen Thomas Massie or Ron Paul, author Thomas Sowell, or economists Milton & Rose Friedman.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Defend our borders, nation, and our freedoms from foreign threats.
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.
Many years ago, I acted lawfully in defense of my home and the people in it. The prosecutor kept out evidence of 200 pages of criminal records by the attackers, weather conditions, statements by a private investigator, and Laurie materials on the corrupt Seabrook PD who botched the investigation and allowed the gang members back onto the street despite admitting that they had three with outstanding arrest warrants and evidence of attempted murder by them.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Neutral
That is a local decision--not one to be forced down onto towns by state politicians.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gun control laws rarely stop criminals from getting access to weapons and have actually increased crime and violence. All 15 of the 15 highest homicide rate counties are run by Democrats who've enacted strict gun control laws, Stop & Frisk, and racial profiling.
