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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life of the mother.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Neutral

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

No religious institution has control over any state institution, nor any state institution have any control over a religious institution.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Disagree

I also support protecting the reverse. Businesses cannot be forced to close or change their business if their business is against moral and/or religious beliefs. Example; a liquor store being forced to close or cease all sales due to a religious prohibition against drinking I am also against.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Very strongly agree.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes, it allows us control of the Suez Canal.


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 is the only answer at this time. While D would be preferable expecially with the amount of fraud and waste in the Medicare/Medicaid system, touching at this time would lead to cascading effect most of which we would not be able to handle. Maybe someday soon we can try to reform the programs, but even looking at the programs funny can trigger an outrage.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Disagree

The government really should not have databases on its citizens.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

A necessary law until a better solution is found, unfortunately no one has found a better solution.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Accountability on the contract negotiation and contract fulfillment. Limiting social programs to legal residences only. Shutdown political programs in the education system.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

There is no such thing as "undocumented persons" they are criminal aliens and they need to go home.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Deterrence followed by Retributive and then finally Restorative.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

The same restrictions that are on voting.
