OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion should be outlawed completely, and we as a Country should implement progressively stronger restrictions and taxes until abortion is abolished.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Creating a human life artificially via in vitro fertilization and then killing it is pointless and terrible. It is cruelty for the sake of cruelty in its purest and most horrible form.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers should be barred from government funding.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
This is a common sense measure and I would implement taxes on abortion in order to fund enhanced enforcement.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
There is no established state church in the United States; however, this does not mean government is to be atheistic or favor irreligion, but rather uphold the values and morals of the American people.
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: The United States should intervene selectively. Our goal should be to ensure freedom within the New World, rather than active pursuing foreign entanglements in the Old World. I also have an expansionist agenda and I strongly agree with Trump about annexing Greenland and Canada, and I would add other territories such as Marie Byrd Land, Cuba, and Diego Garcia to the list.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China must be destroyed.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
We've invested heavily in Israel, and Israel should be held to return that investment well.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
Islamic terrorism has been a constant threat since the dawn of Islam. Even when America was founded, the Ottoman Caliphate went to war with President Thomas Jefferson by launching terrorist attacks on Americans overseas and attempting to force conversions on US citizens.
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.
Medicaid and Medicare should continue, with significant reforms to prevent fraud and abuse, as well as reforms to reduce costs without affecting quality of care wherever possible.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
While in theory this sounds useful, in practice this sounds like a precursor to government using medical history as a pretext to harm its citizens.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
I would add to the tax return form an option allowing a donation to the United States Treasury in addition to the amount owed in taxes, so that those billionaires such as Warren Buffet might have the option to demonstrate, via their tax returns, whether they choose to pay more. The proceeds would go toward our budget deficit and national debt.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
The focus should be on eradicating fraud. I also want to add welfare benefits (including non-cash) to gross income, in order to discourage receipt of such benefits and recoup funds spent on welfare.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. End spending on abortion and other societal negatives. 2. Require, as a rule, that all loans provided by the US Government must not be provided at an interest rate lower than that of the government's debt. 3. Deport all illegal aliens and other drains on our Country. 4. Reform welfare benefits and reduce spending on them drastically. 5. Implement reforms to prevent lawsuits from sabotaging public infrastructure projects.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be for people who want to assimilate into American culture and love our ideals of freedom. Immigration should not be available for economic reasons.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Sanctuary cities should be defunded and all funds for them redirected into DHS efforts to deport illegals from these areas. Sanctuary states should lose Medicaid and CHIP funding, and all of that funding should go into enforcing federal law in these jurisdictions.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Useful functions of the Education Department should be transferred to other departments, especially HHS, for the purpose of assisting States' efforts to provide quality education for their citizens. This would include basic research and statistical collection and coordination. I would also support a USDA education program for rural Americans in order to promote school choice.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments will always demand influence when they fund education, and it will not be for America's interests that they provide funding.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Restrictions on gun ownership are detrimental to public safety.
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
VALUES
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Roman Catholic
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Mandatory photo ID nationwide for voting, no mail-ins, pass the SAVE Act
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?
Natural gas and coal
