Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-choice up to twenty four weeks. Once the baby can live outside the womb it should not be legal to abort it. Providing birth control, sex education and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions. |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerAssuming equal education, experience, performance, etc. yes - if the only difference is gender the pay should be equal. Although I do not support more government oversight. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
4>4 Personal answerThis is a good idea but likely cost-prohibitive and video footage can be manipulated so it is not necessarily a reliable record of events. |
Social › Gender Identity
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerNo, all customers deserve to be treated equally |
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 answerYes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNo |
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 › Drug Policy
4>4 Personal answerYes! Legalize, regulate and tax production and sale of marijuana and retroactively reduce sentences or parole those currently serving time for growing, possession or sale of marijuana. |
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 |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, this decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerIllegal immigrants should be offered a way to legal residency; and if they do not avail themselves of that avenue, or if residency is declined, they should be deported. |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerYes for crimes of serial rape, child molestation or murder in which the perpetrator is determined to be of sound mind (not delusional, not likely to be confessing to crimes he or she did not commit) and confesses to the crime. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes! Legalize, tax and regulate marijuana, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for possession or sale of marijuana. |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only at historical monuments where it was originally flown |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo, it should be covered like any other prescription |

Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
4>4 Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerI do not think law enforcement should be allowed to target ethnic groups in hopes of picking up illegal immigrants, but if they do detain or arrest an illegal immigrant for a minor crime the immigrant should either be deported (since they apparently are unwilling to abide by our laws) or should be offered a way to legal residency, and if they successfully obtain legal residency, they should be subject to probation or other appropriate restitution for the minor crime for which they were detained. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerNo increase, but enforce the current border policy and make it easier for immigrants to access temporary work visas. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
4>4 Personal answerNo, end all tax credits and subsidies to the energy industry |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerNo. The government should not be subsidizing healthcare; we should not be rewarding criminals (and people who are breaking our laws by residing here illegally are criminals) by providing them with free healthcare. If illegal immigrants are identified they should be given life-saving treatment if necessary, but deported once they have recovered. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerYes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerYes. Decrease public spending; ensure efficiency of current agencies; reduce military spending (but NEVER FAIL TO PAY OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN). |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerI don't mind offering support but we should not support only Israel, we should also support Palestine - and $3.3 billion dollars seems excessive give the budget deficit. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
4>4 Personal answerNo, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerNo, but schools, hospitals, government services, etc. should not be required to provide translation services; with the exception of those immigrants who have, or plan to have children - they should be required to learn English and teach it to their children, who will be required to attend American schools. |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerYes, but do not waste money removing existing references |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
4>4 Personal answerNo, manufacturers and dealers should only be held liable for negligence |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerNo, but it is currently being overused |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerYes if there is no chance they will survive their illness and only after they have undergone a psychological evaluation to show they fully understand their choice, and perhaps a waiting period between diagnosis and implementation of their planned suicide to make certain they have had enough time to process and research the information. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerDecrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
4>4 Personal answerNot as a means of allowing minorities preferential treatment over less, or equally qualified applicants or competitors for jobs, scholarships, admission, etc. We should, however, create more social programs to address poverty and unequal access to education, transportation, support services, etc. in economically disadvantaged and/or minority areas. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerHurt |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo |

4>4 Personal answerNo, and all illegal immigrants should be deported |

4>4 Personal answerYes, I support the concept but not the current implementation |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerI support healthcare reform but not this version of the Affordable Care Act. It is anything but affordable for those who are self-employed, whose employers do not provide health care coverage, or who are under or unemployed. If you can't afford health care, a tax penalty is nonsensical. And imposing a requirement on people to purchase health care insurance without requiring that health care insurance providers offer goods and services at an affordable cost is one-sided and provides a ridiculous advantage to insurance companies. And don't get me started about them choosing which doctors, surgery centers, prescriptions, etc. they will cover at what percentage (in effect making it a financial hardship to select one's own provider, etc.). |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
4>4 Personal answerNo, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for public projects and never for private projects |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerNo, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerContinue for countries with no human rights violations. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
4>4 Personal answerNo, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
4>4 Personal answerIt seems reasonable to raise the retirement age for Social Security, but the funds must not be used for anything else. That money belongs to the people who pay into it and must be kept in trust as intended and never spent or used on other programs. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerNo, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerNo, not until we drastically decrease our federal deficit |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
4>4 Personal answerNo, and neither should corporations and business organizations |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerCongress can't manage to do the job it has now, no way I want to put more on its plate. An audit by a non-partisan provider would be welcome, however. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
4>4 Personal answerNo, we should not get involved |
the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerYes, but dramatically reduce government spending instead of raising taxes |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerAbsolutely. Federal, state and local government workers should not have separate retirement, healthcare, or any other employment benefit plan. Government employees should be subject to exactly the same requirements, benefits and burdens as employees of private companies. |
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 |
