QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

A human life should be protected by the government in case of other citizens infringing on others' rights. Every individual shall have the right to life as they see fit without government interference. Government should only be involved to protect its citizens and disputes between citizens.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Agree

No one has the right to interfere with another's pursuit of happiness and if it is one's choice for artificial methods, no one has the right to purposeful destruction.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

danger to mother or child

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Government get shall not fund it. Taxation is theft and this use is unacceptable.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral

If someone wants to get it, it is between them and their God NOT government.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

People should be allowed to pursue private property to allow growth in the economy. Ownership gives people more drive to produce.

Taxation is theft. I believe good people will help their neighbors without government interference. No One owes anyone anything and government shall not force others to provide for others.

Government cannot establish a religion or make laws that restrict other people faith


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.

C Government should provide safety net for people of real need.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

Get Government out of our business


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.
