Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerNo, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage. Give it its own name and definition and allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerYes, however, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary. These should be considered with the weight being given to 'the same pay for the same job results'. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for criminals, immigrants and the mentally ill. The government should pass a national “stand your ground” law. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
4>4 Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |
Social › Gender Identity
4>4 Personal answerNo. There are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined with the rare gene anomaly. Surgery, name changes, makeup, clothing, wigs, hormone treatments and other physically altering methods do not alter the natural born chromosomal sex determination. "Gender identity" can change at any given point in time, has and does. Demanding special privileges on "gender identity" is asking for more than every other American's rights and privileges. Privileges should not impede or negate anyone else's rights. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerYes. Laws should be put in place to prevent harassment, public and social media boycotts and any other form of retaliation. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional. However, immigrant applicants should undergo strict and lengthy processes in an effort to discourage and weed out those who wish to enter with criminal and violent intent. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerYes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures, counseling or distribution of material information on abortions. Their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals. Government should not fund free birth control. Reduced price for the least expensive form could be made available for qualifying low income people. This could help reduce future welfare and government supplement expenditures. |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNot without measuring against inflation. We must keep in mind that the economy adjusts at random and minimum wage jobs can keep an individual and/or family afloat during economic upheaval such as layoffs and business closings. Also, if we place minimum wage too high, this can cause smaller businesses to close, thus making the economy even worse and decreasing job availability. |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
4>4 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerNo, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerNo, they must formally apply like every other new citizen and if they do not, they should be deported. |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted. Spending life in prison is a harsher sentence and allows time and reflection for the guilty to understand and hopefully correct thought processes. However, the convicted should work to help compensate the costs of their incarceration and should have only the basics of decent treatment. No privileges. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it. Age restrictions should be in place as well as operating motor vehicles and heavy equipment, when serving in a legal capacity, such as a judge on the bench and those in the medical field where life and death depend on a clear head. The exception being regulated marijuana uses that do not include the 'intoxicating' aspects of THC, etc. |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerYes, it is a historical symbol of the Southern fight for states’ rights |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerNo, men are more likely to risk the success of a mission in order to protect a woman from danger. Combat roles place women in a high risk situation for sexual assault. In general, with rare exception, women are not as physically capable as men for combat. |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerYes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities and deported |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerNo, and each state should decide their own level of coverage |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerYes, and allow all states to manage their own security policy and to enforce federal border security laws and regulations as well as to police and enforce immigration laws and regulations. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerNo, and we should deport all illegal immigrants, however, minor children should be provided life and limb saving medical care followed by deporting. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
4>4 Personal answerYes, the government should support more sustainable energy technologies |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerNo, fine companies that employ illegal immigrants. Americans must provide legitimate legal documents for payroll and background checks. Immigrants and illegals should too. Illegals should be sent back to where they came from at their own expense. Return them to the border that they crossed to illegally enter the U.S. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes, this will prevent voter fraud |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerYes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional as well as excessive committees that produce nothing but inflated wallets for politicians, government employees and those padded with government contracts. Oversight committees are needed to keep spending in check. Contracts should go to the most efficient contractors. Favoritism and cronyism should be eliminated. There should be monitors to discover, uncover and eliminate nepotism. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerYes, and remove multilingual translations from government documents and services |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerNo, as long as it does not reference a specific religion |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerNo, it is necessary for violent criminals who are a danger to themselves and other inmates regardless of age. However, we should have programs to help prevent and rehabilitate criminals followed by strict incarcerated punishment for repeat violators, particularly if they were given treatment. |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerNo, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerDecrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs. Companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages and gain taxes breaks. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerHelp, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
4>4 Personal answerNo, and illegal immigrants should be deported. If they were brought in as minors, then it is their responsibility, upon reaching voting age, to begin the legal process to attain proper admission into the U.S. and apply for citizenship as all other potential immigrants and visitors to the U.S. must do. |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerYes, I support the concept but not the current implementation |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerNo, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerNo, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking. We should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead. |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
4>4 Personal answerNo, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
4>4 Personal answerCapital offenses should come with the revoked voting privileges. Changes in the amendments should come only after a majority vote of the people indicating that the people recognize stated changes are in order. One politician temporarily holding office or appointed judges should not decide for the people. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerNo, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerYes, space travel is akin to what the pioneers did in America. However, the U.S. should make every attempt to work with the other countries who have space programs so that we, as humans from Earth, have all of the potential benefits resulting from the discoveries. This could minimize the burden on individual countries and put the brightest minds together towards the tasks ahead. Also, our government should concentrate on finding ways to decrease the rate of decline and negative effects on our Earth due to human growth and industries and the resulting negative effects they cause. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
4>4 Personal answerNo, unless offshore income is reported. This should apply to corporations and business organizations as well. |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerNo, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight. However, there should be audits executed by a dedicated system, accountable to the citizens. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations, as they are independent and cannot compete with large corporation farming. This can encourage more families to produce in addition to being consumers. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerNo, however, controlled property tax rates for those on regulated income should be considered as property tax rates do not always reflect the owners' ability to pay nor do they always reflect the true value of the property. Also, government spending should be regulated prior to increasing taxes upon the citizens. In addition, those who are in the U.S. illegally should pay taxes and be removed from any and all government subsidies and programs. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerNo. Current pension plans should be honored as contracted unless those who have contributed to and will collect from the pensions have an overwhelming majority vote on whatever particular change is put forward. However, this should not mean future changes in the methods and means for workers to contribute to and collect from pensions. |
the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerNo, there are too many hidden provisions in this specific agreement |
