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?

Medical instances where the life of the mother is in danger.

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?

The minimum wage is currently a fact of life. Every time the minimum wage is increased, it makes the cost of services and products go up for everybody. It hurts the average consumer and hurts the employees it is intended to help. Don't ever raise it.

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.

1. Expose it--2. Stop it--3. Balance the budget--4. Eliminate redundant services and programs in the budgeting process.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

It is essential to protect religious freedom and prevent the Govt from controlling religious practices. We must safeguard our religious freedom.

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.

B. We should eliminate obamacare all together and go back to the way it was before obamacare until a better system is discovered. People were happy with their insurance before obamacare and people who could not afford insurance were still taken care of and paid for by the govt. The idea that people could not get medical treatment before obamacare was a complete lie. The current system is a total failure full of waste and corruption; it needs to go.

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

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, it is important. However, our relationships with all other countries are also important. Israel should only get preferential treatment when the outcome mutually benefits the United States. AMERICA FIRST!


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.

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.

Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

SOLA SCRIPTURA I believe that the BIBLE alone is the ultimate authority in matters of Christian faith and practice. All necessary doctrines must be derived from Scripture, either explicitly stated or deduced through sound reasoning. The bible is infallible and sufficient for teaching, guiding, and instructing believers in their faith. JESUS IS COMING SOON!


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.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Oil. Natural gas. However, new technologies like fusion etc. should be researched and implemented when practical to do so.


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?

Choose not to answer

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!


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Incarcerate criminals so that those who choose to live lawfully can live out their lives in peace and relative safety.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

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?

None. Even most of our current regulations and restrictions are unconstitutional. The 2nd Amendment right is not a 2nd class right. It is no different than other constitutional right; and should be treated as such. The only restrictions should be like those that restrict freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. craneguns.com
