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?

never. The argument is to save the life of a mother, yet every doctor and mother that I know says that would never be in question.

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?

I believe the free market should dictate wages, not the government.

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. Get the government out of the lives of our citizens. 2.Enact VERY STRONG laws that protect the taxpayer from abuse and waste 3. Hold our officials accountable. 4. Get rid of programs that do not provide ESSENTIAL services to the taxpayer. 5. Make the government figure out how to cut costs and spending instead of always going to the taxpayer with their hands out.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

That the government should not interfere in the religion of it's people.

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.

I would land between C and D. I believe there are scenarios where people who can't afford help and need it and that we should provide help to them. I have also seen the complete destruction of everything the government is involved in and touches. The free market is always the best way for a people to survive and thrive.

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

Strongly Disagree

It's none of the government's business what anyone's medical issues are.


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 because they are our ally. Though, like our involvement in all things foreign I have some questions...


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

Undocumented (Illegal) persons should be sent back to where they came from.


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.

Strongly 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

They shouldn't only support it they should get out of it all together. I don't want any part of the government telling me how I can and can't raise my kids.

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.

Strongly Disagree

Gambling has never brought any good to anyone.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

They are all founded and based in God's Word, the Bible. Anything and everything I do and who I am is based there. I believe the Bible when it says in Romans 3:10-12 that there is none good, no not one. We were all born sinners deserving of punishment in Hell. My favorite verse is Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates His love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:9 (17) says those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


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

I do agree that we need to take care of our planet and not destroy it.

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

fossil fuels are the most reliable. I like hydrogen as well because its waste is water. Wind, water, and solar all have their place as well, but are not as reliable.


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?

Very Conservative

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

nope

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

nope


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To provide justice to those deserving of it. To hold accountable those that have broken it. To protect those who live by it.

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

Strongly 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?

The only restriction is on those mentally incapable of owning or possessing a firearm due to the fact they could hurt themselves or others. The 2nd amendment was written so that citizens had the same rights and access to firearms as it's government. I believe in that. That's how we hold our government accountable. It wasn't written for deer hunters, it was written by those who had just killed because the government overstepped it's God given bounds.
