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

No taxpayer funds should ever be used to support abortion, period!

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstances should elective abortions be allowed!

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


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Minimum wage jobs have always suited young workers and individuals looking to supplement their income. They were never intended to provide a living wage. They are a starting point.

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.

Reducing redundant programs, reducing public sector costs, reform benefit programs to be more efficient.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Separation of church and state is not a mandate to purge religion from public institutions, but a safeguard to ensure the government does not interfere with religious practices.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


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.

The response that closely matches my view is that Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not! This is a segway in eugenics!


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?

The Israelites have been displaced and discredited throughout history; some of which the United States have participated in. We have the responsibility to help the Israel people due to the negative impacts they have faced from political decisions.


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

States and local communities should have control of the education systems throughout our country. Parents also need to be involved!

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

Parents should be directly involved and the government should provide necessary support only.

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

I believe that gambling institutions offer the opportunity to bring in more illegal acts including trafficking.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

If I had to say one word to describe my spiritual beliefs and values, I would say evolving. I was recently baptized and I am very excited about this chapter of my journey.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY
