OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Women have the right to make their own health care decisions.
“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.
Neutral
These seem like loaded questions
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
So much depends on the details of this. Also seems like a loaded question.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
PP and others do so much more than this. A lot of disinformation going on here.
ECONOMY
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Choose not to answer
Hot button city. Much of this is blown way out of proportion.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Choose not to answer
Nothing wrong with private business and private property.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Choose not to answer
This gets into whacky town pretty quickly.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Rarely if ever. But when religion becomes cult, we got a problem.
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 is closest.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Rarely, but there are instances where this could become the case.
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?
Yes, relationships with other nations are always important, even when they are complicated.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
We need to do more at the border in many ways.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Disagree
Choice must come with accountability. At this time, it doesn't.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Choose not to answer
Anti-trans rhetoric is it's own form of dangerous.
Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Choose not to answer
Loaded question
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Choose not to answer
This is a belief that is not shared by many. Loaded question.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Loaded question. People can choose their own religious convictions and are under no obligation to share it. This is most certainly a "Mind your own damn business" kind of thing.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Neutral
The Electoral College is a problem. I'm not sure this is the right solution.
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.
Choose not to answer
Loaded question. AntiTrans hate is dangerous as well.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a threat to us all.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Choose not to answer
CRT is woefully misunderstood and now used as gusher of misdirection and misinformation.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
Climate Change is occurring.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
A mix of technologies and adaptations will be necessary. Not one thing.
