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 Disagree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When the death of the mother is imminent.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Disagree
Medical assistance should be between the medical recipients and their doctor. Women should have a free right to choose their own health care without obstruction.
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 Disagree
Why is this organization with the violation of the, “Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness?” Example: If gambling is illegal in the state, is it legal to gamble in another state? The state of residence has no affiliation with health care. Medical assistance should be between the medical recipients and their doctor. Women should have a free right to choose their own health care without obstruction.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Georgia minimum wage should not be under the federal minimum wage. Minimum wage should be raised to $22 per hour.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
Yes. Private property taxes should not be paid by using a regressive 1% tax placed on non-property owners in the state of Georgia. The property tax burden should fall squarely on the property owner, and not hand-outs from the state.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Stop wasting money tracking Georgia citizens for living their personal lives while they make their own choices for health care. Including money spent on Trans-athletes which there are 0 in the state of Georgia. Stop spending money for FLOCK. The FLOCK is an unconstitutional violation of the 4th amendment. Become the 39th state for the legalization of Marijuana to generate a never before source of income.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
This is not a Cristian Nation. It means exactly what our constitutional founding fathers explicitly stated.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Don’t be a public business if you will only work for part of the public. I believe a business has the undeniable right to serve whomever they choose. It’s the business' failure, If their beliefs and ideology doesn’t align with the legal reactions from a customer base.
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.
A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government, with private healthcare option.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
That would be a violation of the 4th amendment of the constitution, and also the the1974 Privacy Act.
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?
No. Israel has blackmailed the United States. Israel holds TRUMP in blackmail because of his relationship of f***ing teens in the Epstein files. There is a direct correlation to Trump, Epstein files, and the capitulation of the United States to Israel.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Agree
F*** ICE.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
The state of Georgia already has, and can use states rights. They choose not to the benifit of capitulating to the current federal administration. There is no need to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.
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
No monetary support.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Neutral
It’s not my child. It’s not your child, and the previous question just asked is parents are allowed to direct their child’s health and educational well being. This is an extension of that exact statement. Please don’t be hypocritical.
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
Who’s God? My god doesn’t say that. If my God doesn’t consider it sacred, then you should respect my religion and all the protections given by the state. For those that are not religious, then none of these laws would apply to them.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Agree
If it is voted on by the constituents of the state.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a spiritual being. I believe we are all living in this world together, and should use the common language of love for our neighbors. I believe in Agency and the ability to make personal choices.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Agree
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.
Disagree
The statistics and waste of money and time on this topic in the state of Georgia is one of the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars. FACTS: There are currently 0 trans athletes in the state of Georgia.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Agree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
We have the summer sun in Georgia. Solar power, and Wind. The growing electricity demand would be less if there was a ban on Data Centers in the state.
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?
Moderate
Radical Republican to Liberal with guns.
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?
It already has a goal. It is the institution for criminals to pay their debt to society by doing time. I am against the prison slave labor currently being used in for profit facilities.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Don’t have a child sex predator as the leader of the free world.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
No religion shall not violate the constitution of Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Current gun restrictions are capable of protection of public safety. Mandatory insurance for all weapons, and proposing a stop on gifting of weapons, and personal sales to any persons under the age of 18, and direct person to person sale without routing through a Class 3 licensed dealer.
