QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
I believe in supporting Protections from abortion or birth control after the 12 week mark.
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?
Up until the 12 week mark.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That even if we are one nation under God. That one nation cannot teach or conscript me on how to worship or where and when to worship God. It's every Americans individual freedom to determine that. And I hope that each one of us works out our relationship with Almighty God with fear and trembling in our own accordance.
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
The CCP is the gravest outside threat that we as Americans will face in all of the 21st Century to lose focus of that would be the end of the American way of life.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It's not. Japan is our greatest ally. I am not an antisemite. However I am undoubtedly aware of the smear capabilities of the Israeli Government and its various American interests that I do not support. If Israel needs humanitarian aid or to buy weapons thats one thing. But gifting American Tax Payer Dollars to support another country is not something I generally support.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
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
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree

Agree
Tax the Billionaires not the Millionaire who owns his home outright and has a nest egg.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
So much for profit corporate greed has consumed our American way of life every system must be audited and reckless waste subdued.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
1 Million of the Finest, Brightest, Hardest Working men woman and children should be allowed to become U.S. Citizens each year.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
That is a clear impediment of the rule of law and I do not in anyway support sanctuary cities in America.

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