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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest, or immediate danger to life of mother
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The founding fathers intentionally did not include references to God in the Constitution, instead focusing on a nation governed by the people, which is what makes our country great; the people have a voice in who leads them.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Private businesses can and should refuse service to whomever they desire; this has been upheld be the SCOTUS decision in 2018 b/w Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. Colorado
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?
Until very recently they were one of our biggest allies in the Middle East and recent events have led other nations to align with the US. However, Israel always needs to be our ally.
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 agree that - B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. However, there are certain instances where this is needed - C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. ** But, we need to get rid of the fraud within these programs
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
This is a very sketchy area; with HIPPA and other personal details, this can/would get leaked. However, there are many who abuse our medical system for various reasons, and that needs to end.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Wages should be appropriate to skill level; entry jobs, especially for youth just learning job skills obviously will be paid less. As skills emerge and people grow in their careers, wages will rise.
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. The obvious fraud in welfare benefits- multiple children/absent fathers, multiple "families" sharing addresses and the money wasted by all levels of government providing assistance for people without permission to be in the USA 2. The insane amount of paperwork/red tape put on government employees and businesses 3. The large amount of government employees who monitor phone numbers and help centers (IRS & USPS for example) who are very difficult to reach in person to resolve citizen's issues.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
No explanation needed; especially when we have US citizens and veterans who need the taxpayer's assistance, rather then people who came here without permission.
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?
Punish criminals and keep them off the streets so the public can live in peace without criminals roaming around. Our citizens deserve to live their lives free from the worry and fear of law-breaking individuals.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
To a point, yes, but it is also the responsibility of the parent; however in our society today, some parents do not monitor their children's online activity, instead using technology as a babysitter, which leads to many problems.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
We have laws made by our levels of government, which is led by the elected officials voted upon by the citizens.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None, except the laws we have about convicted felons, domestic violence convictions, and severe mental illnesses which are confirmed & documented. As the saying goes - if we outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.
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?
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
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
Many Americans do not care who you fall in love with or what you do behind closed doors - just don't try to influence our youth.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Did not answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who believes in doing the right thing; a great example would be living via the 10 Commandments; they are pretty simple and if you do those, you shouldn't have much of a problem with others in your lifetime.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID MUST BE NECESSARY to ensure no fraud
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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
It is sad that this is even discussed in our country
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
China & India produce way more pollution than the USA
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Coal ( with solar in second place - many Florida homes use solar to reduce strain on the local power grid and lower energy prices)
