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

Abortion is murder.

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 Disagree

Abortion is murder so I do not believe in any method of use.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I am not a trained medical doctor so I cannot answer this question.

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?

Federal Government is charged with protecting rights of all American citizens including those unborn.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

This nation was founded on Christian Biblical principles and NO ONE can rewrite God's word to fit their own agenda.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

People are free to go to any business for their needs.


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.

The US has problems it needs to address here at home before telling someone else how to run their nation. I am against all foreign aid until America takes care of its own. We should maintain peace through strength by being number one again.

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?

I am pro Israel but against giving them aid unless their existence is threatened. The Bible states that God will bless those that bless them and curse those that curse them. I am against all lobbyists and lobbying firms as it is a conflict of interest.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

I would think it has something to do with the Anti American teachings starting with our educational system that allows disrespect to our nation or its flag and by not instilling respect for our country. The pay is ridiculous as well. Congress makes nearly 200k a year. Armed Forces make little to the fact we have service members on food stamps.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Since Vaccine makers are protected from liability through the Vaccine Injury Act, an act I am for repealing, I do not trust vaccines. I am for Vaccine Choice. I am against mandating vaccines for any reason. Vaccine is an individual choice.

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.

I would panel local doctors and local insurance agents to ask their input for improving affordability. Before Obama Care, insurance was not out of reach for being affordable. I am for a law mandating whatever measure is passed that elected officials must also have the same policy as forwarded to the public. This will force Congress to do right by its people. Otherwise, how good can it be when Congress exempts themselves from having the same?


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I am a strong advocate in flat tax. God gave us an example by a "flat" tithe. It would be wise to follow God's lead on the issue and have a flat tax. I am for a 9% flat tax replacing the tax code. No more tax software, loop holes, worries, and stress

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

We should disconnect the government from the loan process as it should be treated like any other personal loan.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

We should close and defend our border by any means.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

We should not take just anyone. Preference should be given to those with something to offer America other than they just want to live here.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Neutral

I am not for defunding the police. I think cities should be required to match funds to social programs. At the moment, we have become a police state that wants to jail everyone for every little thing. Local governments never have funds for programs to help the needy, poor, elderly, disabled, etc yet we have massive amounts of a police force with massive amounts of jails. This current system is more about making money than seeking justice.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

The 2nd Amendment clearly forbids making laws restricting gun rights.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Strongly Disagree


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?

Very Conservative

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect our God given rights which at the moment they do not.

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


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.

Strongly Agree

No man can redefine God's definition of marriage between man and woman.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian follower of Christ.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

We should demand paper ballots, same day voting, with ID verification or other forms of verification of ID, and we should be given an itemized receipt showing what we just voted for. Electric voting machines cannot be trusted.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

Until Governments do away with WMD such as nukes, I don't care to hear any lectures from the government on climate change as I see they are scamming the American people.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

We should drill baby drill. America could be a rich saudi nation but our elected leaders are corrupt and making money off this issue.
