OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
We have very weak rulers in this country in the U.S. Supreme Court like Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, and Samuel Alito that came out with a half-hearted attempt to curtail abortions in this country with Dobbs v. Jackson. They're scared of the people like King Saul was and they didn't come out with a more forceful judgment against abortion providers that is more in line with God's law "Thou shalt not kill." (Exodus 20:13) Presidents Bush and Trump made errors promoting these people to the SC.
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. Life-saving measures should be provided to both mother and child. Doctors, nurses, mothers, fathers, and other caregivers should never "elect" an abortion. That is reprehensible. We know that children and mothers can survive even ectopic pregnancies. And as Terri Schindler Schiavo said, "Where there is life, there is hope."
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
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Neutral
Spending should be cut in the areas where spending is wasteful or not producing desired outcomes.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Increase competitive bidding for government contracts Fully staff Department of Labor so that workers are paid wages earned and due Fully staff NHTSA and improve highway safety and reduce road congestion Eliminate all abortion funding in the government including related services such as transportation for abortions. Eliminate DEI and other racist government programs.
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?
The state should not be dictating which religion or church you belong to. The state should not favor one religion or church over another.
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) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
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 selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
China isn't a monolith. And in some ways, it's more of a meritocracy than the U.S. is. China is a rival nation as are other countries such as Russia, Brazil, Germany, etc. and we can still have good trade policies with these countries and others.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel is an important ally in the Middle East. They help us secure natural resources and trade there. Galatians 3:29 says "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." They hold a great amount of truth as revealed in the law of Moses and the OT prophets. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:31 They've been instrumental in preserving the word of God.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
Islamic is too broad of a category. Threats to US national security are more apparent from Iran at the moment.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
The talented workers of other countries. The workers of other countries that want to live peacefully and contribute to the American economy and follow U.S. and state and local laws. People that want to become U.S. citizens have to pass a U.S. citizenship test, so perhaps U.S. immigrants should be given a similar test as well.
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 Disagree
Some federal oversight of state departments of education should still be necessary. We still need a federal department of education to serve as a backup for state departments that may be going off the rails.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Disagree
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.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
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?
Solar energy. The sun is always there in the sky. We should not rely on any one source of energy and should develop all our energy resources including fossil fuels, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, biochemical, nuclear, and more.
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
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?
Convicted felons and ex-cons should be forbidden from gun ownership. Those that are clearly mentally ill or unwell, have a history of domestic violence, or are exhibiting signs of distress, anger, or have a tendency for violence should be forbidden from gun ownership.
