New Hampshire Congressional Election 2022 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I support banning abortions by law. I support the death penalty only in cases where a law enforcement goon has killed a human. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| Repeal the Social Security tax, to phase out the Social Security deficit. | |||
| No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| Too many morons fail to do their homework, and only taking in what their TV spoon-feeds them. Then they demand campaign finance reform. Campaign finance reform starts with the voter. They must visit the Project Vote Smart website, which costs the candidates nothing, and the candidates' campaign websites, which cost very little. | |||
| No | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| The fact that they were following orders is no excuse. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| Reduce defense spending by eliminating bases overseas. Military assistance to allies should be limited to providing intelligence gathered by the United States. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| No | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| Congress has no right to select winners and losers or to dole out the fruits of somebody else's labor. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| I am against public school and public colleges and universities because they are funded by stolen money. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Air pollution violates people's rights. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| The mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas showed how useless the cops are. People need guns. The cops blocked some parents from entering the school to rescue their own kids. I support legalizing Teflon-coated rounds so parents in such a situation would be able to clear a path into the school to rescue their children, with a minimum of innocent bloodshed. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| The government has no right to interfere with employment contracts between a private citizen and a private business. | |||

| No | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| All persons are created equal, with an unalienable right to liberty. Liberty is the freedom of a person to do whatever he or she wishes, that does not violate anybody's rights. Moving into the United States of America does not violate anybody's rights. I support opening the borders, abolishing the United States Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. | |||
| No | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| If the United States of America can have nuclear missiles capable of reaching Liechtenstein, then why can't Liechtenstein have nuclear missiles capable of reaching the United States of America? | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| Peaceful, honest international trade does not violate anybody's rights. | |||
