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 was adopted and I thank GOD that my biological mother chose life. The circumstances of my conception does not determine my destination.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Key word elective I don't support elective. I support in a medical situation in a hospital and the mothers life is at risk.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
If a criminal killed a pregnant woman he would be charged with double homicide. What more needs to be said
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
I agree but i think it will turn into smuggling operations. What organization is going to track this. We have human trafficking, drugs and Narcotics coming from inside and outside the united states. I just don't think our judicial system will list this law of 1873 as a priority. Maybe we need a law on production.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It was meant to protect all religion from government and the government could not form a national religion forced on the people. so the first amendment protects the peoples religious freedom no matter the location
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
first Amendment
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?
My answer is religious Numbers 24:9 (KJV) and Genesis 12:3 (KJV) "I will bless them that blesses thee, and curse him that curseth thee"
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.
C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Assess economic burden of treatment. Are you insane? First our government is not GOD. Second: I remembered a story like this. It happened in Germany in the late 1930s. I guess our wounded warriors and special needs kids would be the first on the elimination data base. Third: Economic burden is the fraud being conducted and unnoticed.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage is for minimal experience. You see what happens to states that bow down to to the demand to raise minimal wage to 20+ an hour. Business automated and fired the workers but most business left the state. Be careful what you wish for.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1: No more pay raises to congress. 2: Eliminate pork barrel spending. 3: Term Limits. 4: Let DOGE continue finding fraud waste and abuse and then eliminate it.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
This is one reason we have a immigration problem now.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
public safety, upholding the rule of law, personal accountability, fiscal reasonability
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
I believe government should be limited. I believe parents should have the reasonability to protect their children with assistance from law enforcement to teach, inform and investigate. Then the judicial system punish predators. If this doesn't work we look at it again. Sometimes we expect the government to solve everything. look at their track record. Maybe we can be responsible adults and parents
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
This is not a topic of freedom of religion. It is a demonic plague, it destroys. Look at Europe.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I believe in the 2nd amendment. I believe in universal background checks but i don't support federal database to track gun sales. I support concealed carry expanding to more places.
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?
Very Conservative
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
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
Until it becomes child abuse.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
Be careful. People want freedom of religion and we do not want the government to interfere. In return religious freedom does not have the right to to force government to trample over another's personal freedom. I believe Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred union of one man and one woman but that is my religious belief. Not every American shares the same belief.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
Alabama already has class 2 gaming and we have the casinos to prove it. I personally believe if you don't support it don't participate in it.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again Christian this means I believe Jesus Christ is Lord. He died on the cross for my sins and he rose on the third day. I still live by the seven ARMY values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, personal courage and freedom didn't come free.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
you need an ID to drive, smoke, drink, fly, have a bank account, have a job, pay your taxes, rent an apartment, buy a house, get medication ect.... then you should have one to vote.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Money given to a person that was never a slave by a person that never owned a slave. is pure insanity
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
This almost destroyed women's sports. This allowed perverts in locker rooms and convicted rapist in a women's prison. Its insane we still have this conversation in America.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
The climate has been rising ever sense the Ice age. The world is going back to normal. do you want to know why we went from globel warming to the next ice age to now climate change. everything else was proven wrong. and now everything can be caused by climate change. a never ending plethora of never ending tax funding. But it doesn't mean we don't pay attention to protecting our environment and our water the best we can.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear and the sun. Windfarms are stupid
