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
I am 110% pro life! There is nothing more important to the Lords heart that His precious children. Save the Babies! Our hard-earned taxpayer dollars should never fund abortion or any nongovernmental corporation or agencies. Our taxpayer dollars need returned into our hardworking hands. It makes me sick to think that my taxpayer dollars could be funding something so immoral, such as abortion.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion should never be allowed! If the baby has passed inside the mothers womb there are procedures to deliver the unborn baby if your body does not already do so natural.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Every baby deserves to live. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the rights of every American, even unborn babies.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
I do not agree with artificial methods used to create a baby. I do not agree with IVF, it is a form of abortion and an open door that allows people to choose who gets life. We must stop playing God!
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 in free enterprise capitalism! Our government was designed to function with a free enterprise capitalist economic system.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I agree, the right to private property means ownership. If we are paying taxes on our private property we do not have ownership or a right to private property. We must eliminate property tax, it is extremely unconstitutional!
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
-Strip the budget to only essential governmental functions -Give taxpayer dollars back into We The Peoples hard working hands -Stop sending taxpayer dollars to anyone or anything other than back into hard working American's pockets -Elect patriots and not politicians -It doesn't require a huge plan, it does require to sacrifice and rely less on the government... no more government funded programs and agencies
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Separation of church and state was designed solely so that the English church did not take over, again, in the new nation of America. The Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, intended for the separation of church and state to protect the church from the state or to not have a state enforced religion, like there was in England. The reason our Founders fled England in search of freedom was to get away from the English government run church. They wanted true God given freedom!
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Our government was designed for a moral and religious people. Americans should never have to violate their morality in order to serve an immoral cause.The Bible defines exactly what morality and righteousness is.This nation is founded on In God We Trust, it should and did function by Biblical morality. "It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." George Washington
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 most align with option D). I do not believe our government should have its dirty hands anywhere in our healthcare system. We have created a people that rely on the system that our government has put into place to make us ungodly, unhappy, and extremity unhealthy. I believe our government is trying to kill us and one avenue through which they are succeeding in doing so is through our American healthcare system. I DO NOT trust our government or our health care system.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
The government is studying us like lab rats, lab rats are not free!
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Communism is a serious and detrimental threat to America. The communist party propaganda is being fed to the next generation through our screens, school systems, and institutions. The threat has already made its attack and America is turning communist from the inside out. The next generation is and will lean more democratic, then socialist, then full on communist. America is under attack, we must protect the next generation and teach them the truth... Godly morals and values.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
God says in the Bible that He will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
We have an illegal immigration crisis! I have watched over the last couple of years through reports from our local law enforcement system the increase of rape, child molestation, traffic violations, gang violence, and mafia rings caused by the dramatic increase of illegal immigration into our State and district. We must close all Federal and State borders and ship back all illegals to wherever they came from as soon as possible.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Our education system has failed us and betrayed us. Our government is using the eduction system to indoctrinate the next generation. "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next." Abraham Lincoln The next generation is the target and in schools we are not being taught the truth of America and its founding, the truth of religion and God, and the truth of morality and righteousness.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Government should not have its dirty hand in education!
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.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely, it is child abuse!
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
The government should uphold morality! The government is tasked with legislating what is right and wrong. We are a nation founded on God and we should be legislating Biblically. Marriage is between one man and one woman through a covenant made before God.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a God fearing, Jesus loving, Holy Ghost filled, Bible believing child of God! God is the only way! In order to save this nation and state we must turn back to God. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You do not have the right or privilege to vote in this nation without legal photo identification.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Declaration of Independence, 1776
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.
Disagree
We must stop playing God!! We do not need our government stepping in and trying to override our climates natural processes. God is sovereign and He created this earth knowing one day we would all be here on it in this exact time. We are tasked with taking care of God's beautiful creation! It is important that steward earth as individuals, not through a governmental mandate.

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?
The justice system should prosecute criminals and serve justice to the people. The justice system should follow by the code of, innocent until proven guilty. The justice system is very corrupt and broken because our legislature has given them loose and weak laws.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
As a people we have become extremely immoral and it is hurting our children and the next generation. We must protect our children at all costs!
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
This is American, a Christian Nation! We are not a muslim nation and do not have muslim beliefs or customs. America should never bow to another culture, they should come here legally and assimilate into this Great Nation or go back to your own country. America should not change to welcome other beliefs or cultures. Americans do not go to other countries and try to change or take over cultures or governments. Stop trying to eliminate the values that make this country great.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
As Americans we have the right to bear and keep arms. There should be no restriction on gun ownership for American citizens. In our constitution it was second on our founders hearts, after freedom of religion, that we had the rights to protect our families and nation. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Constitution of the United States
