QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I believe that every life, regardless of how it was conceived, deserves protection and respect.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I believe that elective abortions should not be permitted under any circumstance.

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Disagree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

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

Stop funding foreign wars. Stop funding foreign research projects. Stop providing subsidies to illegal immigrants


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

The government should have no right to tell a business who they shall provide services to.

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

Although not stated anywhere in the Constitution, I believe that the Federal Government can not create a National church or use its powers to control or punish a religious belief.


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 - I believe that both Medicaid and Medicare need to be reformed in order to combat the unsustainable growth, fraud, and abled bodied dependency. These programs should be used for the elderly, disable people, and low income children.

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

Strongly Disagree


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

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?

Yes, Israel is a democratic ally in a hostile region and we have shared commitments to free speech, elections, and rule of law.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

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

On a limited basis, only those going through lawful channels, after enhanced background checks, and security screenings. There must also be cultural cohesion and we need to ensure that we continue to put the interest of all American citizens first.

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

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

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

I believe that traditional marriage is a sacred covenant established by God. That definition should not be up for reinterpretation by courts, politicians, or the government.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a firm believer in God and that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for all mans sins. I put my faith in God above everything else and know that trusting in his will, timing, trials, and victories only strengthens my relationship with him.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I believe that photo ID should be mandatory in order to vote. It is required for a number of other things that are significantly less important than voting.


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.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Nuclear energy.


ABOUT YOU

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I believe that all law abiding citizens should have the right to own and carry firearms. Violent felons, repeat offenders of domestic abuse, or terror related offenses should be prohibited from owning a firearm
