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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I am not for elective abortion. I do believe that during the rare circumstance where the life of the mother is in danger, medical care providers should utilize all available remedies in an effort to save the life of both mother and baby.
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
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That the government cannot mandate a religion or church, nor can the government control churches.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
All relationships with allied countries are important to national security but we should stop the endless flow of money from the American People's pockets to all foreign nations. If we have to pay for allies, are they really allies? This is like paying thieves not to rob your house, isn't that what happens in a mafia? We need better foreign policy, so the American People do not have to fund the entire world. Why is the entire world the dependents of the American People that we must take care of?
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.
E) Medicare should remain available because seniors paid into this program, all others should be eliminated. The healthcare industry should be opened up to let the free markets work, lowering costs for everyone. Healthcare became expensive because of cronyism and government control. In the 1990s as a single mother, I paid $100 per month for me and my two children for private healthcare with $10 Doctor visits. That should be $248 today with inflation. Gov. control killed healthcare.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
As seen in California, raising minimum wage causes higher prices which disproportionately affects minimum wage workers, how does that help? It also negatively affects small businesses the most. We need to let the free markets work.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Consolidate duplicative programs (e.g., overlapping agencies/services). Reduce improper payments & fraud via better verification/audits. Modernize IT/procurement to avoid rushed end-of-year spending. Sell excess state assets (unused buildings, land, equipment). Use performance-based budgeting with sunset clauses for ineffective programs.
IMMIGRATION
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
To uphold and defend the 51 American Constitutions' bills and declarations of rights, considering both the rights of the victims and the rights of the accused; and to administer justice. The courts should ensure that only Constitutional laws are enforced and that the true form of Trial by Jury is upheld. In American jurisprudence it is the prerogative of the jury to judge both the law and the facts of a case, this has been stolen from us robbing the People of Constitutional due process.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Neutral
We need to be careful here. Government wants to institute a digital ID so they can trace and track our every movement online. This is a complete violation of our right to privacy. Government loves to pull at our heart strings with the protection of children. Yes, we want children protected and perpetrators prosecuted; we must find a way to do that without giving up essential liberty.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The right of the People to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed. INFRINGEMENT. A breaking into; a trespass or encroachment upon; a violation of a law, regulation, contract, or right. - Black's Law 4th Edition.
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
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
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
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 only disagree in that Marriage was never intended to be a "legal union". Marriage has always been a sacred spiritual and religious covenant. Regulating marriage should have never been a government function. That is not the role of government.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and believe in the one true God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, lived a sinless life, was crucified, died a terrible death, was buried, and rose again on the third day. He did this to redeem me from my sins, and I am eternally grateful for His sacrifice and grace. I share the core values of the Christian faith: love for God and neighbor, forgiveness, compassion, humility, integrity, generosity, and hope in eternal life through Christ.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I think we are going to have to add nuclear energy to our arsenal to keep up with future demand added by population growth and new tech like AI and datamining. With modern designs reactors are safer with walkaway safe features and no meltdowns.
