QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under medical circumstances where the lives are in danger, this difficult decision should be made between the patient and her doctor.

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.

Choose not to answer


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

The federal government should not interfere with Free Market Principles as long as our Country's nation defense is not in jeopardy.

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Disagree

I have written a proposed bill, 'Hudson Resolution to Abolish the IRS', which is available on my website and has been posted on the Hudson for Hoosiers Facebook page.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

Too much of our taxpayer money is wasted on needless wars while Congress wastes money on other projects that are non-essential.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

A balanced budget is essential. Congress should stop with the 'Continuing Resolution' packages instead of addressing the spending problems. Abolish the IRS and transition to a sales tax that is detailed in my proposed bill, 'Hudson Resolution to Abolish the IRS'. Eliminate the Department of Education at the federal level as our Country ranks #31 out of 132 countries. Let the States manage at the local level with more parental involvement in their children's education.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

In a free society, individuals and businesses should not be required to do anything immoral, criminal or in violation of their religious beliefs.

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

Under the U.S. Constitution (We the People), Amendment I; Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,.....


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.

C) At this time, senior citizens have been paying into the program their whole lives and should have their basic healthcare needs covered.

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.

C.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

In addition, I've written about this on my 'Roll It Back' page on my website. There is great concern over what is going on in the Asia Pacific.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

The U.S. relationship with all our allies is important but should not be paramount.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Agree


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Anyone who is not a danger to our society should be allowed to migrate to our Country through our immigration services. The current process for migrant workers and visitors to come into the U.S. across the border with Mexico is outdated, archaic and too cumbersome for both U.S. Border Security personnel as well as the people trying to enter legally. I've written about this on my RIB page on my website.

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

Neutral


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

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.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

The Golden Rule.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

There are many forms of I.D. This is a State issue, not the federal government.


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.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

There should not be one source as our Country has a mix of densely populated areas and very rural areas, and our Country's natural resources are more abundant in certain areas more than others to include water, coal, and the use of solar.


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?

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Agree

Sexual criminal activity should not be tolerated when children are involved.


2ND AMENDMENT
