QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life begin at conception, and under no circumstances should taxpayer monies be used to fund or encourage abortion. We need to work to encourage adoption and strengthen these networks so more mothers feel like they can and should choose life for the unborn. I believe that preserving the life of the mother is an exception to this rule.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or business owners because of their deeply held religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Governments should not penalize those who define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
cutting taxes and getting out of the way

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The check and balance system was designed to ensure that no one branch of government was able to accumulate too much power and ensure that the people had options at the ballot box to oppose policies they disagreed with. If someone has the chance to have unlimited power they will take it, our founders recognized that, and built a system that prevented any one branch of government or any one person from having unlimited power
