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?
Rape, Incest, Life of the Mother. We live in a fallen world with fallen realities. Human Trafficking is rampant, It is a hideous horrible thing what these girls and women go through. Constantly abused, drugged, tortured, and degraded in ways, we cannot comprehend. . . I would like to see a class taught in K-12 (age appropriate) so that our children and young adults, will better know how to avoid the dangers of being abducted or being coerced into these terrible situations.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral
Honestly, I have never really thought about this issue. I would need to prayerfully consider it. as in every decision I make. I always take it to God.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe there needs to be an entry level wage. I also believe employers should be able to hire students or summer help at a lower entry level wage. Small to mid size businesses have been struggling under the changes to minumium wage. Need balance
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
Many factors go into a succesful and robust economy. Having been on both sides of the ailse as both a small business person, a manager, and a union officer, It gives me a unique perspective on what we need to do to create a thriving economy for all. One of my top priorities is to repeal PA 233, the so-called green energy deal. It is a job killer, Affordable utilities is essential for new job growth. A reduction and elimination of cumbersome regulations also needs to happen.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
We need a forensic audit in all departments. . . We need to streamline, get back to what these departments are suppose to do. . . Get rid of all the "Woke" and DEI nonsense . . . We need to overhaul the Dept of Education ( getting kids certified in a skill or trade by graduation and the Health Dept. needs to stop running it's propaganda commercials pushing jab unto kids and the general public. We need to clean up the food chain, promote healthy living, deal with the micro plastics.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It is a fallacy and misconstrued. There is no separation of church and state, not in the premise we been to lied to about for years. . . We were founded as a Christian Nation. Our Constitution and our laws are based on the Bible and the Ten Commandments. The Bible even speaks our government resting upon His shoulders. (The Lord Jesus)
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No, Our first obligation is being faithful to God.
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 . . . Big Pharma needs to be reigned in . . . Big Pharma lobby money needs to be limited in our politics . . . And Big Pharma Advertising on tv needs to end. . . That is a big reason why we do not have a true "Free" and unbiased press, it's because the news outlets don't want to lose those advertising dollars, so the networks have become "info commercials" for the political views of Big Pharma and narratives being pushed.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
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?
Yes, Isreal is our strongest ally in the region. . . And It is Biblically stated that we are suppose to stand with Isreal. Those who bless Isreal will be blessed, those who curse Isreal will be cursed.
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
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 support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My background, I was raised Catholic, where I learned the reverence for God. I was saved in a Baptist Church, where the salvation message was given in such a simple way, I finally understood what it mean't to be saved. A decision and aknowledgement in our hearts that we are all sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God. And that God Loved us , so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus to save us by being a living sacrifice for all our sins. A free gift when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. . In my most recent years I have been attending a non demonational spirit -filled church. I love God with all my heart and with all I am. Jesus is Lord. His Majesty the King.
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.
Disagree
There are weather cycles throughout history, Look at the 1930's the Dust Bowl, caused by drought, plowing under natural vegetation, soil type, over farming the land, and erosion. Man contibuted to that problem because of poor soil conservation. We can always do a better job of being good stewards of the Earth. But the insanity of these so-called New Green Deals, were just a way for corrupt politicans and their buddies in these upstart green energy companies to cash in. (Doubling our bills).
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural Gas, which is the most abundant, clean burning, and it was the most reasonable in cost, until PA 233 in Michigan declared Natural Gas a dirty fuel. "Not True" It is always good to have a combination of reliable energy sources.
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?
Lean Conservative
I always believe in doing the right thing. "I believe the Truth is not found to the far left or far right, but in the sensible middle", where most people are, and where most people are just trying to survive and keep their head above water. The Ultimate Truth is always found in God. He is Spirit and Truth . . . We have a lot of work ahead of us. But I will do my utmost to help the people, and to get the job done for us all.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No, Not at all . . .
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No, Not at all . .
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Prevention, To change the hearts and moral fabric of people. A change in the Education System needs to happen. Likewise the Church needs to rise up to this occasion and be the sheperds to the lost. Mentorship programs for kids and youth adults. Jobs, internships, on the job training, excelerated certificate programs in junior high and high school, bringing back, auto mechanics, woodshop, welding, Fork lift , Admin Asst. certifications by graduation. More jail space to cool down conflicts.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
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?
I am a firm advocate for gun rights and legal gun ownership. I fully support the second amendment. . . restrictions: terrorist, violent aggresive thugs, who enjoy beating up women. People who are constantly displaying physically abusive behavior towards others. Past violent criminal records. Those seem like just a few common sense restrictions. . . Having enough jail space to throw a few hot heads in jail overnight, to defuse the situation, and give a cooling down period.
