OTHER INFORMATION
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?
I am not an expert as to when. I hate abortion. I'm very Pro-Life, I even oppose the death penalty as I know Life is very precious and we must do all we can to promote life hear on earth as much as possible.
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.
Choose not to answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Choose not to answer
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
People should be paid a fair wage, good wage, minimum wage so they can enjoy life. The current wage at $7.25 is too low. No one can survive on that amount per hour of work.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Vote out all incumbents in the Wisconsin State Legislature and US Congress this year because they are responsible. Invite the people to go to a web site to report waste they see. Government must always find ways to do more better and cheaper.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That's a great question because I am aware of the many types of church and state separation issues in our society and the role of government is different than a church or religion or other organizations. Government has to follow the Constitution when it comes to their authority and boundaries in the sacred role of religion.
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
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
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. Israel and the US must maintain an important relationship because the rest of the world is crazy!
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Choose not to answer
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Choose not to answer
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.
Choose not to answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
That's a great question because I am aware of the many types of marriages in our society and the role of government issuing marriage licenses is different than a church or religion or other forms of marriage. Government has to follow the Constitution when it comes to their authority and boundaries in the sacred role of marriage.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
All Gaming and internet and all Gambling should be illegal in Wisconsin.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm a very good person. I do good as much as possible. I detest evil. I was born and raised Catholic and I was in Bethlehem Christmas 1982.
Any mental health professional treating a patient with gender-identity or sexual-orientation issues should be required to affirm whatever the patient proclaims with regard to their identity.
Choose not to answer
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Neutral
The Local Clerks and the local people who vote there should decide. I always say that "The more people who run for office and the more people who vote, the better our democracy will be." I don't like restrictions on voting, but in some places there is abuse and the local people there should decide how to make their elections fair. I have been the victim of voter fraud and cheating at the polls and in elections at least 5 times in my long political career.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Choose not to answer
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.
Agree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Solar and Neuclear
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?
Lean Conservative
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?
To Judge fairly and quickly, something that is not done now. Again, I've been a victim of our corrupt and incompetent Judicial system too many times. Judges should not have lifetime jobs and they should run for office to earn the support of voters, not be appointed.
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.
Choose not to answer
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the right to bear arms. I've always been supported by the NRA for my support of gun owners.
