OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Neutral
Abortion is taking a human life. High abortion rates are a direct result of societal failures, not a consequence of the legalization of abortion. Societies that fail women, collapse. Abortion must remain legal. Abortion rates will only lower through community support, access to resources and cultural shifts not through state legislation.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
I do not support the commodification of the human body.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support trade barriers domestic or international.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Market controls and the federal reserve are the cancers plaguing the US economy.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
If you want to be able afford basic necessities, you get congress to stop spending money and abolish the federal reserve. If you keep asking the government to spend more, they either have to steal it from you or print more of it. Taxing the top 25% of earners and businesses reduces the incentive to produce, which causes more inflation. Printing more money reduces the value of the dollar, which causes inflation. Bottomless budgets cannot continue.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Did not answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
We all have freedom of association which includes freedom to reject customers or decline to provide services in your privately owned business. This does not, however, guarantee protection from the consequences of those choices. If you choose to discriminate do not ask to be protected by law when you are fired, have to close your business or are ostracized by your community.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
No government or government funded entity can declare an official religion, push religious rhetoric, discriminate according to religion, or govern according to the laws of a religion.
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.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
This would be a huge privacy violation, and I challenge whatever determination is made of an individual who is deemed an "economic burden."
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.
Both 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. and D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Disagree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It is no more important than any other relationship the US has with any other country for economic trading purposes. NO MORE BLANK CHECKS FOR ISRAEL.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Neutral
The war on terror is a direct result of US intervention.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Any peaceful person. Peaceful person is defined as anyone confirmed not to be a terrorist or with intention to commit terrorism, a person with a violent criminal history, a criminal fleeing persecution, or currently ill with a communicable disease.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Agree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Neutral
Physical transitioning is permanent and should be done once a child becomes an adult, when they can make that determination for themselves. Social transitioning such as choosing to be called by another name or living as the other gender's socially acceptable norm is not permanent and can be therapeutic. Social transitioning should be left up to the parents, the child and the family's medical professional. You must tread carefully in situations such as these to not sacrifice parental rights.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Disagree
Marriage is a legal contract merging assets. Every individual has different spiritual beliefs and practices surrounding unions. The state shouldn't have say in it at all. The definition and standards of such unions should be left up to either the individuals or the spiritual institutions they practice in.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My spiritual beliefs are irrelevant.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
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.
Agree
Private institutions should determine their own policies regarding gender segregated sports such as colleges and the Olympics. Their sales/attendance will reflect whether their supporters are willing to tolerate those policies. However, I see zero circumstances where it is appropriate to allow males to occupy sex segregated spaces in prisons, women's shelters, etc. We have failed women enough. No one's ego is worth putting vulnerable people in direct risk of harm.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Did not answer
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.
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?
Choose not to answer
I am Libertarian. I don't see the political spectrum as left vs right or conservative vs liberal. I see it as supporting state authority in our life vs supporting individual liberty. Free markets vs planned economies. Whatever you ask the government to force on someone else's life or wallet you must be prepared to sacrifice the same amount of liberty from yourself.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Disagree
The parent holds this responsibility alone.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. All gun regulation is unconstitutional.
