OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I’m pro-life. I am however, not for the government telling families that they will have the child when the family may not think it’s in the families best interest. Don’t tread on me.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
I think if someone is trying to get pregnant and they have paid a lot of money for that. It would be unfair to make them continue to keep an embryo viable when that wouldn’t happen naturally.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Cases of incest, rape, non-consensual sex, where the mother’s life is in danger, the child’s life is in danger with severe birth defects, where the child has severe genetic abnormalities, or the mother is in severely dangerous situation. This is the families decision, not the governments.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
If the funds are used to take care of the mother in a legal and ethical manner, yes. If not, no.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
It depends on the situation.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
We are all American and should serve each other like a Christian Nation. Unless the people are rude or violent. I wouldn’t want to be excluded, because someone didn’t like that I’m a Christian.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The same thing it meant in 1776.
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.
B) I am absolutely for global leadership from our country. We have made some mistakes in recent years by abdicating our role in global affairs.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Russia and China are Soviet block allies who have been our historic enemies since World War II. It is naïve at best to separate them and to pretend Russia is not as much of a threat as China.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
As a strategic ally, yes. As a blank checkbook no.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
Domestic terrorism is equally as dangerous as Islamic terrorism currently according to our intelligence agencies.
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) Big insurance is crushing the average American.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
That’s government intrusion into our liberty and will be used to further burden a citizen with an existing condition.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
We need capitalism driven by free markets. Not cronie capitalism that is corporate welfare.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Agree
The big corporations and their shareholders who own 99% of the wealth can afford to help the vanishing middle class. We’re the richest country in the world, by far.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
We bail out the top tier when they ask, so we should also take care of the rest of our citizens.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Stop the massive flow of money to the top 1% who the uses this to lobby for more favors.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who follows the law and works within the framework of our legal statutes.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I don’t support sanctuary cities because we shouldn’t need them to begin with.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
Who would provide funding and oversight in the poor red counties of the poor red states? The rich blue states contribute on a national level and that funding reaches the red states. And the states and local communities already have control of education.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Disagree
If there is research being done from countries that are our allies that keep our nation sovereign, it would be a mistake to limit their funding.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
The internet can be a dangerous place for children and we need to provide oversight. This is one place where the government needs to be involved.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We need common sense reform. We don’t need mentally ill people carrying side arms. We don’t need high caliber, military grade weapons in the hands of everybody. With that said, the government has no right to infringe on my guns that I’ve purchased or inherited legally.
ABOUT YOU
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
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?
Conservative
I’ve been a Republican my entire life. I still have the values I learned under Reagan and Bush.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
I believe that these children should receive counseling and have every opportunity to heal from any situation that is causing them mental distress.
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
Should be up to each individual who they want to marry. And the government shouldn’t be involved.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I was raised Baptist by my grandmother, and now I attend a non-denominational church that was formally Presbyterian. I rely on scripture and the teachings of Jesus to guide my every decision.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Agree
I think the government should require citizens to have ID if that citizen is too impoverished the government should provide one.
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?
Wind, solar, nuclear as we slowly phase out fósil fuel.
