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
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Mother’s health is in jeopardy where death to her will result without it.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
The U.S. Supreme Court in the Dobbs Decision was a significant step.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Limit taxation on families as families. Development of the family must be pushed to promote & restore the married man & woman and their children structure would gain specific tax cuts.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The government has no right to tell Americans how to worship.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE.
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
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
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. Because the Arab Oil States completely surrounds Israel and the United States is the only real friend it has to maintain balance in the region. For our continued ability to have peaceful access to oil supplies the United States needs daily to function.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The homosexual agenda called “WOKE”.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
WHAT JOE BIDEN & THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE DONE TO HAVE AN OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER IS TREASON!!! THE GATES MUST BE CLOSED IMMEDIATELY, THE WALL TO BE FINISHED AND THE MOST MASSIVE DEPORTATION EFFORT OF EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL MAN, WOMAN & CHILD INCLUDING THOSE BORN SINCE BEING HERE ILLEGALLY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE UNITED STATES WHEREVER THEY ARE AND SENT BACK ACROSS THE BORDER OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.
