Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerCompensation should be gender neutral. There should be equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerThere should be a logical, maintained and supported process for purchasing a gun. Guns should not be purchased in gun show environments because of lack of oversight. Means for updating records should be created and required. Re-qualifying for ownership should be put in place. Guns do not commit crimes. Criminals commit crimes. It is already a crime to cause injury with guns. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerNo, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerRegardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerNo, provide more incentives for alternative energy production instead |
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 answerThe majority of money spent on the war on drugs should be spent on treatment for drug users, recognizing that not all drug users want to be cured. When there are fewer customers for drugs, there will be less profit in the illegal drug business. Tough drug penalties should applied for those profiting from drugs. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerI personally would convict and sentence someone to death. I believe life and death is God's business. However, I think laws should be upheld and changed if they no longer represent the belief of constituents. Attention should be paid to prisons and creating an atmosphere to help those who would be helped so that incarcerated people are not worse for their time while in prison. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for medical use |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerThe Confederate flag is a historic symbol and can be displayed where appropriate or not if that's the wishes of the constituents. It should not be flown in any official capacity and steps should be taken to remove it in those cases. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerYes, if the government considers you too dangerous to board a plane you should not be able to buy a gun |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerYes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerAnonymous tracking, with trigger threshold for identification, should be collected in order to track suspected terrorists. Terrorists can stay below the radar until they are ready to commit their crimes against the U.S. Any tracking that eliminates this should be investigated and used. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
4>4 Personal answerYes, switch to a multi-member, proportionally selected redistricting system |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerNo, just enforce the current border policy |
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, but they should be allowed to purchase private healthcare |
Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerID is needed but make the means as accessible as possible. |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
4>4 Personal answerYes, with proper oversight. |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerThe "public" is who provide money to the federal government so to cut public spending seems illogical. However, debt reduction should be a priority and evaluation of all spending should be conducted with a plan for reducing national debt that is approved and agreed upon by the "public's" representatives. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
4>4 Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerReferencing God on money, federal buildings and national monuments is as much a historic statement as a faith statement. The separation of church and state was for the purpose of preventing a required allegiance to a national church. It is more a separation of church from state than and state. |
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 answerYes, and we should create more social programs to help prevent and rehabilitate criminals |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerNo, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
4>4 Personal answerPrograms that improve citizens' ability to provide themselves should be rewarded and programs that enable avoiding self sufficiency should be retired. We cripple people's minds and abilities by providing for them without teaching them and facilitating them providing for themselves. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerHelp, but ban their ability to make political donations |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerYes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerI'm not sure but I lean toward maintain current offshore oil wells while providing incentives for alternative energy production, with appropriate research to be determine that alternatives are not more damaging than what they alternatives for. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerIn its current state, I do not support. It may have helped in some situation but it has harmed in other situations. Insurance coverage is difficult to demand and command. You can't have an open funnel on one end (cover everything for everyone), pinch in the middle what can be charged in some situations and expect a good outcome. If insurance coverage was easily solved, we wouldn't still be struggling with it. Few want measured out care but we have more "cure" than we have money to pay for. Studying the process and eliminating non-value add costs (such as punitive damages awarded in legal cases that raise prices for all by rewarding a few), paperwork that is ineffective, streamline processes for the outcome of available information is needed. |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
4>4 Personal answerYes, as long as landowners are fairly compensated and the projects will benefit the community |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
4>4 Personal answerEvaluate what will produce the best outcome for the people involved and support that. Blanket actions are rarely effective. |
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 |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerAppropriate accountability should be required of the Federal Reserve Bank as is required of any banking institution but I don't know if Congress is the correct body since they don't strike me as particularly astute in oversight. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerAny tax should reflect funds to pay, should be equally paid and should fund public needs with accountable spending practices - a far different approach than is currently in place. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerPension plans for federal, state and local government works should reflect the state of private pension plans and should also be in keeping with the needs of recipients. Wealthy politicians and other government employees should be eliminated from pension plans because of a needs based evaluation. |
the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerNo, it provides too high of risk for criminal activity |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerI would support this if any incentives to move jobs out of the U.S. were removed. The majority of involved companies must maintain employees in the U.S. and other countries participating should be required to have a minimum of employees in the U.S. Efforts to level the playing field for competing businesses should a priority. |
