OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Agree

Planned Parenthood caught my daughter's cervical cancer, otherwise she would not be here. I am a supporter.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Choice should be between the patient and her doctor. The state has no vested interest.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Disagree

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

Disagree

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

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

It should be adjusted annually with inflation, and should provide a comfortable living for a person working 40 hours a week.

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

Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Stop useless foreign wars; stop interfering militarily in other nations governments; return the Inspectors General to the U.S. Military procurement process and return the competitive bidding process; stop and reverse illegal tariffs; refinance and fully fund the Centers for Disease Control.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Keep politics out of the pulpit. The current administration is heavily trending toward Christian Nationalism. There should be NO place for it. Our Constitution was founded on the principal that "all men are created equal."

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

Agree


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.

B.

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

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

NO! Remember the USS LIBERTY! Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian People, destroying their hospitals, schools, homes and businesses and preventing food and medical aid from entering in violation of internationally accepted norms. Their government officials should be held to account!


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Disagree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Neutral


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

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.

Strongly Disagree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am an ordained Baptist Minister and have been over 40 years. Religion is an individual choice. It is not up to me to interfere and press my own beliefs.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Agree

...but they should be able to prove their eligibility to vote by each individual state's regulations.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Agree

agree somewhat. Native Americans from whom we stole their land should at least be provided essential services on reservations. African Americans promised "40 acres and a mule" after the Civil War should be given reasonable consideration where denied.

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.

Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Strongly Agree

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

1). The sun! 2). Hydrogen obtained from panels breaking down water through the use of sunlight alone. It's a developing technology.


ABOUT YOU

Lean Liberal

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

EQUAL Justice for all under the law. The current National Justice Department is merely an extension of the President's personal attorneys.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Universal background checks! Most reasoning gun owners would agree.
