Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerPro life, but if the woman provides a valid reason, (rape, incest, danger to mother or child or some other legitimate reason) I don't view abortion as a method of birth control. If a woman is too young, she should be allowed to have an abortion, but yes, I believe there should be a penalty if a second abortion is requested because the person is irresponsible. |
Social › Gay Marriage
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Equal Pay
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerNo, but fully enforce the 300+ gun laws we currently have on the books. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Marital Rape
8>8 Personal answerDepends. Normal men have about a three-day testosterone cycle, and wives need to be aware of and respect this. If a woman says, "No," a man should respect this. If they can't respect each other's needs and maintain fidelity in the marriage, they don't have a marriage and should divorce before the violence starts. If it turns violent, it should be treated as domestic violence. |
Domestic Policy › Insurrection Act
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › COVID-19 School Closures
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Identity
8>8 Personal answerYes, but needs to be clearly defined. You need to make the choice and stick with it, have the surgery. Restrictions have to go with your identity change, like if you're a man and identify as a woman, you can't compete in women's sports with your unfair male dna physique. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Transgender Athletes
8>8 Personal answerThis should not be a political question because it is outside the domain of government. Let sporting organizations decide this question for themselves. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo. If you want more money, you should develop yourself for a better job. When companies can't find enough people to work for minimum wage, they will have to increase their wage levels or suffer from not competing for the higher-paid qualified candidates. |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerIt's not one countries duty to clean up the environment. Every country must take a stand to save the environment.. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerNo. This is unfair to owners of small businesses who can't afford to take the time off or allow employees this kind of time off because no funds are available to pay for their time off or cover their position. Paid leave should be an optional insurance benefit. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
8>8 Personal answerYes. It averages at least two years to be competent in a new job. I'd say that 4 Senate terms, and 12 house terms would total 24 years each, and that's enough to learn the job and do some good if you're good enough. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerNo, but every 18 year old citizen should be required to partake in at least two years of public service; be it military, police, hospital or volunteer work |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerOn a case by case basis. If the child is in the care of parents who are to be deported, the child goes with the parents. If the child has been a good citizen and grown to adulthood, child should have a fair pathway to citizenship without cruel or unusual requirements. |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerAt this time, less than 50% of high school graduates are career and college ready. The federal government should focus more effort on non-college careers that pay above the national average. |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerNo. Higher education has generally overpriced itself, so student loans should be discouraged unless justified by the career track pursued by the student. |
Social › Death Penalty
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Mail In Ballot
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Hate Speech
8>8 Personal answerYes, but. Many politically correct people already express hate for those who are not. I think we still need the "fighting words" laws to address times when your words encourage or incite violence against other people. |
Social › Government Mandates
8>8 Personal answerIt is their choice |
Social › Confederate Flag
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerYes |

8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerAll help for low income individuals needs to be coordinated. If they are able to work and contribute to the community and have the pride that comes with enjoying the fruit of their own labor, they should do that. A lot of people who receive "free" assistance don't understand that the rest of us taxpayers pay for their free assistance. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo, but there should be a governing body for standards and ethics such as the old National Association of Broadcasters, and anything posted by a news-related entity should be identified with a "standards and ethics" label that can be traced. This would not apply to citizens who are free to express their ignorance and stupidity without citing any credible source. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Private Prisons
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Border Security
8>8 Personal answerI'm not familiar with current restrictions, and cannot comment intelligently. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
8>8 Personal answerNo, but if a business has an extreme gender imbalance on their board of directors then an investigation must be started to find out if the business has a gender bias |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes, until it becomes self-sufficient. Kind of like NASA funding opened the way for miniaturization of computers we use today. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerYes |

8>8 Personal answerYes, but with very strict environmental regulations |
Foreign Policy › Israel Boycott
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerLower |
Social › Safe Spaces
8>8 Personal answerNo, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
8>8 Personal answerNo, and we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
8>8 Personal answerI'm not informed enough to form a full opinion |
the Economy › Government Spending
8>8 Personal answerNo. Most people don't understand that the US borrows all its money into existence. Paying back the National Debt destroys the money supply we need to run the country. If we would go back to creating our money debt-free through the US Treasury like Abe Lincoln did before the Federal Reserve was created, we could eventually eliminate the National Debt as recommended by the American Monetary Institute. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
8>8 Personal answerNo, and first-time voters should be required to pass the standard citizenship test because so many voters don't know and really don't care about how or why our systems work. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerYes, but other countries need to contribute more in their financial contributions. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerYes, but with guarded and sufficient openings for animal migration and environmental concerns. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
8>8 Personal answerNo, they should not slow any down, but should be allowed to charge more to boost the speeds. It's frustrating to go to a popular site and have to wait because so much traffic is ahead of you. |
Social › First Amendment
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
8>8 Personal answerYes, If they are able |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
8>8 Personal answerNo. That would be like suing General Motors for your car accident. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerYes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Niqāb
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Euthanasia
8>8 Personal answerNo, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support |

8>8 Personal answerNo |

8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Education › Common Core
8>8 Personal answerNo. Common Core is proving to be a racist program biased towards whites. In our schools, about 80% Blacks, 73% Hispanics and 43% Whites are not grade-level proficient. It's not working. |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
8>8 Personal answerThis should be determined by each state. |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Afghanistan
8>8 Personal answerYes. Afghanistan has competing tribal structures that go back thousands of years. The Russians failed in Afghanistan long before us, and we should have learned from them. It's one thing to go to war against terrorists there, it's another to think we are going to replace warring tribes with a united republic that will be our friend. Think another way. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Lobbyists

8>8 Personal answerNo |

8>8 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Electoral College
8>8 Personal answerNo, the electoral college ensures representation of the whole country instead of just major cities |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerThis issue is too complex for a simple answer. Of course I'd like to decrease military spending until my neighborhood gets attacked; then I'd wish for massive spending when it's too late. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
8>8 Personal answerEverything is circumstantial. I don’t believe in one size fits all sentencing standards. |

8>8 Personal answerNot for "suspected" terrorists. For proven terrorists, if American lives are in imminent danger, anything goes. The terrorists know the risks before they start. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
8>8 Personal answerDecrease |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
8>8 Personal answerOnly if we have "irrefutable evidence" that they are about to or have launched any kind of conventional or nuclear device |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
8>8 Personal answerThere should be more oversight to deliver and expand the necessary care, and more severe penalties for the healthcare people who hide their incompetence and failure to do their jobs. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
8>8 Personal answerGain intelligence, yes. Kill suspects, no. |
Science › GMO Labels
8>8 Personal answerYes |

the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerConsidering the environmental damage already caused by disposables, such as the huge Pacific Gyre, disposable products need to be 100% recyclable, and refundable deposit paid upon purchase to encourage the recycling. (Like the refundable deposits we used to pay on soda pop bottles. I used to go bottle hunting to supplement my allowance.) |

Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
8>8 Personal answerNo |

8>8 Personal answerYes. 49% of students are not grade level proficient nationally. The schools are not relevant to most students, and if they were relevant, the students would want to attend. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
8>8 Personal answerYes, government workers should have to choose options such as a 401K we have in the private sector |
the Economy › Government Pensions
8>8 Personal answerNo. Last I read, when you include all the benefits, the average government worker makes 16% more than the equivalent job in the private sector. Enough is enough, plan ahead and learn to live within your means. |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › State Ownership
8>8 Personal answerNo, the government should stop bailing companies out during recessions. Since the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air, companies should be able to apply to the Fed and qualify for loans. If the company crashes, the Fed can write off the money back into the thin air where they created it. |
the Economy › Bitcoin
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › F-35
8>8 Personal answerYes |
