OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I was born to an unwed, teenage mother. I will fight for the unborn until my last breath.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I support the abolition of elective abortion.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
I support the withholding of federal funds and contracts to any organization that partakes in abortion.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
We must enforce this to the greatest extent of the law. I support a federal ban on mail-order abortifacients.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Freedom of association is the hallmark of a free people.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
America must be led by leaders who stand on a foundation of firm Christian values, and they cannot be afraid to legislate and govern in a manner influenced by their religious beliefs. Our government will fail without a return to the integrity and decency of Christian leaders. "Separation of church and state" means that the government cannot mandate the practice of a certain religion.
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 support an America involved in international affairs, and we must re-orient our national security policy to work in the interests of American citizens. The world needs American leadership, and we must never give up our power.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party is our most dangerous national security threat.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. I am a Marine and speak the language of Iran. I know exactly what Iran would do with a nuclear weapon, and I will do all in my power to prevent them getting one. Israel is our most capable parter in ensuring this does not happen, and I want our nation to remain Israel's friend for all of time.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
I have worked the ISIS mission during my time in the Marines. The United States must destroy ISIS and ensure that there isn't a square inch on this planet that is safe for them to hide.
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.
I support the usage of Medicaid for temporary uses and Medicaid. We must find different solutions for future generations, and to solve the current budget crisis in relation to these two programs, I support a comprehensive program that attacks the lack of healthcare supply (increased seats for medical students, GME slots) and compels insurance companies to become more transparent in their pricing and reimbursement schemes.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Agree
If the government is paying for treatment we must know where our dollars are going, and this also enables future plans to treat said disease.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I support legislation that curbs the power of eminent domain and provides remedies to those already harmed by eminent domain. Free enterprise is the baseline for a free people.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Agree
It is my goal to move toward a flat tax in the years ahead, with low-income Americans fully covered by an increased standard deduction. I support an increase in the standard deduction for working families that do not itemize, and I support making permanent the BBB increase in the deduction for our senior citizens.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Serving in uniform, I have witnessed the worst excesses of our federal spending, and I want to destroy the federal bureaucracy.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) Renegotiate defense partnerships to work in our interests and expect more out of our allies 2) Transition younger generations of Americans toward a free-market retirement program 3) Aggressively destroy the federal bureaucracy and dismantle a significant portion of the federal government
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I support a five-year immigration moratorium so that our communities can recover from the effects of globalization. I believe we should reduce H1bs and revoke the visas for all students from the People's Republic of China. Until our nation reaches a stable state, immigration should only be allowed in rare, specific situations where it is in the best interest of our national security.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
We must remove all federal funding for these cities and invoke the insurrection act in the cities that do not allow the federal government to enforce immigration law.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
This is a noble goal that places students first and I want to help us get there.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
The Confucious Institute must be banned from our American colleges and universities.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sexual criminals should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and these deviants must never be allowed to exist in normal society again.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gun dealers must always retain the right to deny service to those they believe to be a threat to themselves or others.
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?
Very Conservative
It is time to throw out the Old Guard in the Republican Party that has been complicit in the destruction of our nation. We must act quickly to save our great nation.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
I want the parents and physicians of these poor children thrown in jail until the end of time.
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
The nuclear American family is the backbone of our nation, the source of all American power, and I will believe that marriage is only between one man and one woman until the day I die.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God and have a firm, moral foundation in Christian values that will never be shaken. I believe that we should do all we can to move this nation to become more Christ-like. I support legislation that defends our Christian religion and will seek to destroy those forces, foreign and domestic, that threaten our religious liberty.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
All votes should be on paper ballots and require photo identification. Joe Biden was an illegitimate President elected in a fraudulent election, and we must do all we can to prevent the Democratic machine from stealing another election.
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
Under no circumstances should the mental illness of a poor, unfortunate soul cause them to be in a private room with the opposite sex. Those who promote this evil transgender ideology must be punished.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear, followed closely by oil, coal, gas, and solar.
