QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Neutral
No termination of pregnancy after the first six weeks, except if the mother's life is in danger.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Disagree
An embryo is not a fetus.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
After the first six weeks if mother's life is in danger.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The government needs to balance the budget. We need to help the truly needed than are unable to help themselves. We need to rebuild our infrastructure and other projects that is the best interest of the majority of Americans.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
These drugs should be by prescription only. The Federal Government is already too insinuated in our lives.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Capitalism is one of our top strengths. As a self-made businessman, patented inventor, and entrepreneur, I will fight anyone who wants to move our country towards a socialist government.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Agree
A difficult question. There are many self-made wealthy people who deserved to be rewarded for the risks they have taken and their hard work. We do not want to discourage them, but they should pay reasonable taxes in proportionate to their annual income.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
As the expression goes, "We can't dance at all weddings." Hard - unpopular decision has to be made as where the money is allocated. DOGE was a good start but didn't dig deep enough. It did prove there's tremendous waste - squandering of our hard-earned and ax dollars. We can't print money to make up the deficits each administration has added to. We should really look hard at there the top 20% of the money is spent, of course, the military should receive all funds necessary to keep us safe.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Medicare - Medicaid fraud. 2. Foreign Aid except dire humanitarian aid then carefully monitored 3. Duplicate federal departments that should be at state level 4. End waste created by, "Use it or lose it rule." If an agency doesn't spend its annual budgeted funds by the end of the fiscal year, it loses the unspent money resulting in a rush spend it all at year-end to avoid losing funds and protect next year's budget. Strict accounting and accountability. 5. more...
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
I believe this question is mostly referring to sexual orientation. Regardless of sexual orientation, don't flagrantly flaunt or force it on others as the Gay Pride movement does. Sexual orientation is personal and should not be judged. Be what you want, but don't openly flaunt it or force it on the vast majority or indoctrinate our children. Yes, under these circumstances, a person or business that doesn't want to serve someone who is opposes their strong beliefs should not be forced to do so.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The federal and state governments are way too insinuated in our everyday lives. They invade our privacy, overregulate, and over control. Most duplicated federal agencies should be eliminated and moved to state levels.
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.
Abolish Obamacare; other than that, I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on this question. What I would do is bring in the best and brightest and come up with the best possible plan that would benefit the most people.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
We have a right to our privacy that has already been invaded.
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.
Tough question. I do believe tyrants must be eliminated before they have a chance to infect their countries. Our security and sovereignty come first. Regarding America's involvement in other countries, that should be handled as the circumstances dictate. For example, we are all God's children and citizens of the world. Yes, in the most extreme cases, such as genocide, we should intervene. Regarding the strikes on Iran, they were long overdue, as they are a credible and real terrorist threat
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Two billion people verses our 330 million; building a strong military, China is one if not our most dangerous threat. Communist heap labor and government subsidies make it difficult if not impossible to compete with especially on consumer goods and parts. All dealings with them must be balanced, equal and fair. I would like to see more of what Elon Musk is doing, not relying on Chinese parts and moving manufacturing to America. I would like to offer incentives to move manufacturing to America
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Absolutely, both strategically and technologically. The threat of terrorism coming out of the middle east is arguably a major threat to America and the world. Unfortunately, the UN is too blind to understand. Help Israel by giving them what they need, and they will do the rest. On a personal note, I trained with Israeli pilots when we were transitioning to the A-4 Skyhawk. They were great fighter pilots and as good as we were and very capable of keeping the maniacs at bay.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
According to Fondapol.org, a French think tank, from 1979 to 2024 there have been 66,000 terrorists' attacks, 92.7% of the attackers were Muslims. We should round up every Muslim that the Biden administration allowed to illegally enter and immediately deport them. We should carefully vet any Muslim seeking entry and though we have Freedom of Religion, Muslim's maybe should be the exception. I also believe the moderate Muslims should help to eradicate the cancer from within their religion.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only for credible asylum and/or if they can make a contribution either financially or through their knowledge and experience.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely not! We need federal laws to prohibit sanctuary cities. The illegal aliens have entered or are in America illegally. Any office holder that supports harboring illegal aliens and blocks federal law enforcement should be tried under these needed to be enacted laws.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Duplication.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Neutral
Depends on what country and the strings attached.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
It's insanity. The sexual indoctrination of children must be immediately stopped, and federal laws must be enacted.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
We have no right to judge others, but to call it a marriage is wrong. Call it a Domestic Union or Partnership. A marriage is between a man and women.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
God is in my heart. In my entire life I have only done what is ethical, moral, honorable and right thing often to my own detriment. I know there's a place in heaven for me.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Agree
One American, one vote! Photo ID should be mandatory. Implement and develop a QR or bar-coded Voter ID card. Once the coded cards are distributed, they should be required.
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
For this to have happened in the first place is insanity! What you are born with are the facilities that are used. It is grossly unfair for a trans man to compete with women who have trained all their lives.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Did not answer
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?
Moderate
I don't believe in extremism. I do believe in the Golden Mean.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
One of my strongest convictions! Sexual slavery and trafficking are among the most heinous crimes imaginable. We are not doing nearly enough. The trafficking of anyone for any reason, but especially child and girl sex slavery and trafficking, should be a mandatory death sentence.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Ban guns, and only the criminals will have them. We have the right to protect ourselves and our families.
