Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-life |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerMarriage is a covenant relationship conceived in the heart of the Judeo-Christian God and supported by numerous religions and cultures worldwide. Government should never have been involved in defining marriage in the first place, especially in the US where interference in an individual's free practice of his religious faith is prohibited. Therefore, take the government out of marriage and all religious activities, keeping the decision about marriage partners, which marriages to acknowledge and support, and with whom one chooses to transact business individual ones. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
4>4 Personal answerLeave this decision to local authorities. Public opinion should prevail. |
Social › Gender Identity
4>4 Personal answerNo, and repeal anti-discrimination laws for private companies |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerIndividuals deserve to be treated courteously, honestly, fairly, and impartially when transacting business. Privately-owned companies should be able to deny service for any reason. Let the market reward or punish them for their choices by voting with its dollars. Operations which are publicly financed and/or chartered, such as corporations which receive liability protection, should adhere to government guidelines. Having said that, I believe government interference with contractual business arrangements has grown to the level of intrusiveness due to regulatory overload. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerYes, and ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerUse economic, educational, and social incentives which encourage people to make personal choices which protect the environment. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerNo, they must formally apply like every other new citizen |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo, seek contributions from the lenders and the public in general to address the issue. Assess penalties against "colleges" who exploited government programs which provided tuition funding, especially for veterans, yet didn't deliver the training and jobs they promised. This defrauded US taxpayers as well as service men and women. I believe that many students and parents who took out these loans did not fully understand the risks and commitments they were undertaking. |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerI don't care about it either way. |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerI believe this flag is an historical symbol with strong racist connotations for many Americans, both black and white. I see its display as insensitive, offensive, and divisive, but still believe this should be for the majority in each state to decide. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerWomen should be allowed in combat roles only where it is militarily advisable and will not compromise the success of the mission or provide advantage to the enemy. This decision is best left to military experts. My personal belief is that overall fitness for engagement in combat should be left to men and women who volunteer and to the discretion of military professionals who understand the psychology of war. |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerYes, and allow border states to manage their own security policy |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerThe first amendment is about protecting citizens from government interference in their religious practices, not about removing the influence of religion from the public arena, including government activities. I fail to see how references to God on money and monuments equate to the establishment of religion. Removing references to God, just as surely, arguably support the establishment of secular humanism as a religion. These things were done at a time in history when religion took a more central role in our culture and in government affairs. No, don't remove such historic religious references. It's a waste of time and money and represents "sanitation" of the history of our nation. It's important that we, as a nation, remember the past from which we came. |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerMy focus would be on doing what works best for rehabilitation. I have direct knowledge of multiple cases where faith in Christ has worked miracles in the lives of juvenile offenders. |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerI believe that suicide is wrong, assisted or otherwise, but euthanasia is a personal choice which should be left to the patient and family to address in conjunction with counsel provided by faith, loved ones, and a personal physician, as they choose. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerDecrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerNo, education should be handled at the state and local level instead of the national level |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerOnly to the degree that it supports our diplomatic interests. As a sovereign nation, I do not believe the US should be under the authority of the UN. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerI see health care as an inalienable right which falls under the umbrella of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A moral, free, and compassionate nation would protect the weakest among us where issues of life and well-being are concerned. Health care for profit seems wrong to me. We must also recognize that having health insurance is not the equivalent of having health care. I don't have the expertise to know what solution would be best, but the US certainly hasn't found it yet. |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerWe should honor the terms of any agreements we signed or find a way to withdraw from these agreements with the consent of the citizens and/or their representatives. Foreigners, whether citizens or not, should be treated according to constitutional principles when in the US or under its jurisdiction. We lead by example, and violating the inalienable rights of war criminals is just as wrong as violating those of domestic criminals and citizens. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerI don't have the expertise to answer. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerI don't have the military or diplomatic expertise to answer. Having said that, I do see ISIS as a threat and do see it as the role of government to protect its citizens, as directed by our Constitution. |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerOnly if Congress is willing to make a formal declaration of war against North Korea. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
4>4 Personal answerIf dealing with an ally, only with consent. If dealing with an enemy with whom we are officially at war, at the discretion of our duly appointed military and duly elected political leaders. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerForeigners, whether citizens or not, should be treated according to constitutional principles when in the US or under its jurisdiction. We lead by example, and violating the inalienable rights of war criminals is just as wrong as violating those of domestic criminals and citizens. |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerNo, not until we drastically decrease our federal deficit |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerIf the US chooses to engage in combat against ISIS, we need some sort of declaration of war or congressional authorization to do so. We should be a nation of laws where constitutional authority prevails. I agree that ISIS isn't a sovereign entity, but ISIS is still an enemy of the state. I don't believe the president, even in the role of Commander in Chief, should commit us to combat without the authorization of Congress. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
4>4 Personal answerDiplomatic influence is acceptable. No military intervention without the consent of Congress. |
