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 Disagree
It is in the interests of the USA and our planet that we seek to reduce our population. The planet is warming, It is changing in ways that we will not like. Food supply may be limited. Therefore, any and all efforts to limit our population should be supported, Including P P . if a woman does not feel she can give a child what the child needs for the next 20 years she has to be respected for that decision. Suicide is rising. The RTL mvmt SB correctly named the right to a tortured life movement
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.
Disagree
Drugs that are already approved do meet safety standards
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
all cases
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?
No
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Medical expenses rob Americans of their wealth. Our medical institution is profit oriented and not solution oriented. I plan on working on this issue to head us down the solution-oriented path which will save us on cancer and cataract surgery.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
College tuition is overpriced and the government should seek to lower the costs
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Not sure public has much money to invest.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Means people of different religions have to get along by respecting property and voting rights. A part of our Constitution that Israel does not share.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
A vaccination is defined as and inoculation that prevents the spread of a disease. It was proved in California that the COVID vaccinations were literally not vaccinations because it did not do that. Any vaccination has to be proven safe and effective
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.
B. Our health care system is deeply flawed by our FDA. It is a profit oriented health system not a solution oriented health care system. Many treatments are not approved by the FDA which could save billions and reduce our medical costs.
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.We invaded Iraq under bogus pretenses perpetrated by our government and our news media. We send $5 billion cash per year to Israel and $5 billion worth of weapons and they do not have our Constitution. Phase this out.
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?
Because we aid Israel we perpetuate the problem there. Independent journalists who report on what's going on detail the continued aggression of Israel against its neighbors including stealing land home and businesses. Our relationship with Israel is a liability and Israel is not an ally. We are part of the problem not the solution.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Not sure.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal entry on current immigration laws.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
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.

Gayness has been a part of mankind ever since historical records have been kept. They should have equal rights.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
