OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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
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
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Protection of private property is one of the very few legitimate purposes of government.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Agree
The best way to implement a fair tax would be a national sales tax. No income tax.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
100%
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Deport all illegals QUICKLY and SAFELY. Promote healthy competition in healthcare. Healthcare accounts for about 28% of the federal budget. Prevent the expansion of all federal budgets if they fail an audit. Including defense spending! Bring back DOGE and act on its findings. Insist on congressional oversight on all executive departments. No more crony deals!
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?
Too often the metaphor is used to promote secularism by a minority to distance us from our Christian heritage. What the Constitution actually says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." is a great protection to secure religious freedoms for all.
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 health and well being of Americans is far too important to be in the hands of government. Health lobbyist with big money have created a system to extract the maximum amount of money out of each patient. With costs so high it starts to look like only the government can pay, what with their magic of printing money and selling our debt to other countries. Well its a disaster waiting to happen when the government can't pay anymore. My goal is to increase competition to reduce costs. C
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
Private citizens should have the freedom to remain private as much as possible. Aggregate, anonymized data can be used sparingly. Generally, government should not be in the healthcare business, but if such data can be used to identify sources of illness, it may be useful.
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.
America has become too involved in foreign conflicts that gain us nothing. We need look no further than this current war with Iran, which is what I voted against 3 times when voting for Trump. It started with unclear goals, has already taken a huge toll on innocent life, cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and for what? We are worse off and Iran arguable better. We need to get back in the driver's seat of our foreign policy.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
China does not engage in expansionist military action, but they do threaten us on other fronts. COVID-19 was created in Wuhan China, our our Anthony Fauci is mostly to blame, but China's research and interest in deploying genetic-specific bioweapons needs to be carefully scrutinized. China can be a great ally and trade partner if we properly manage our mutual relationship.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel demonstrated that it is not a trustworthy ally when it thwarts our attempts at negotiating with Hamas and Iran. It is NOT a democracy when 5 million Palestinians under their control may not vote. Israel is a terrorist state when it has killed 40 times more Lebanese civilians and Hezbollah has Israelis or when it killed 68 times more Palestinian civilians than were killed by Hamas on Oct 7th. But the US is worse, contributing to 1500x the 9/11 deaths in our war on terror.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Neutral
More than we can imagine. To properly answer this question we will need full disclosure of all documents pertaining to the 9/11 attacks. How did Al-Qaeda gain access to the columns to place the nano-thermite? What type of explosives were used in the office furniture in WTC-7? How were they able to get the 125ft wing span of a 757 through a 75ft hole in the Pentagon and be able to capture all the CCTV footage? Al-Qaeda is far more powerful than they are telling us.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Hardworking people who exemplify the American Dream. Not freeloaders. My wife and her family are exactly the type of people America needs. And needs more of! Immigration is a policy that add to America when used correctly.
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
Education is too important to be in the government's hands. Competition is King for improving the quality and value of any service.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
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.
Christ was the Prince of Peace who taught to love your neighbor as yourself. Believers should be the light of the world.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Nuclear power should be the obvious source for energy. It can be done safely and cheaply, but red tape and regulation keeps the cost high.
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?
Conservative
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?
The 2nd amendment is to protect the people from a tyrannical government. Compare the COVID response of gun-free Australia to the US. Australia was able to round up vaccine hesitant folks and put them in detention centers. Not in America. Should the government have a background check on every gun owner? A tyrannical government would love a list of everyone who is armed.
