Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Continue to grow the economy at roughly 3% per year and restrict the growth of government spending to less than 1% per year. Eliminate waste and fraud in all aspects of government expenditures/programs; thus freeing up funds to fulfill promises made.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would cap government spending at current levels and let the growth of the economy result in a balanced budget. If cuts were deemed to be necessary, I would cut discretionary spending evenly across the board at a percentage rate that achieves the desired goal.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
None. The taxpayers should not be responsible for decisions made by private citizens.
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the state should have no influence on religious freedom and with the church. It does not mean that religious principles and values should not be incorporated in governmental activities.
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
A single-payer healthcare system will reduce accessibility and quality of healthcare and increase costs. We need to introduce competition, transparency and the free-market dynamics in to all aspects of the healthcare system. Through patient choice and making people the consumers of healthcare we will have adequate accessibility and quality of healthcare at the most efficient cost. This will also generate innovation in healthcare and improve doctor patient interaction resulting in better outcomes for individuals.
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
The United States should use their intelligence resources to monitor groups like Isis and Al-Qaeda. Use Military force where necessary to eliminate their capabilities to project terrorism. Continue to put pressure on states that sponsor terrorism, such as Iran.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who satisfy the requirements associated with a merit-based system should be allowed to immigrate to the USA. The number needs to be consistent with historical levels that allow for assimilation in to the culture without unduly affecting the culture. Immigrants should not be dependent upon government assistance.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

I do not believe that it is, but because the media and Democrats continue to stoke the fires of identity politics, it may be real.
