Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-choice |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo, but there should be huge penalties for not entering the mental diagnosis data of persons into an internationally available database mandated to be used prior to gun purchases. Proof of passing a safety skill training course by a certified instructor and criminal backgrounds must also be entered into this database. Hefty fines AND license forfeiture should be penalties for non-compliance on a sale. Individual sales from one person to another without licensing and those type of sales over the internet should be banned unless documentation is provided and entered into the system as well. If an individual wants to sell a personal gun (hand or long) to another individual, they should be required to have the local law enforcement agency sign off on the sale and the LE agency should enter the necessary data. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerAs a business participating in free-enterprise, it is my belief that any business should participate with the public equally, no exceptions. If there is to be a small business opt out exemption (as a single store front or website) they should post those prejudices large enough to easily be read riding by in a vehicle (or posted conspicuously on a website). They should not be allowed to receive money from websites without stating their prejudices as well. It's going backward to the days of posting 'No Niggers' on store fronts. That was justified by reasons, too, although not religious ones. If you want to participate in free enterprise, you play be the rules in existence. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerNo, but we should ban immigrants from specific high risk areas, or with affiliations that are questionable until more vetting can be completed. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for companies with 100+ employees |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only marijuana. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerI agree they can learn more and be more effective, however it lends itself to more corruption. Yes, limits should be placed unless a control on the corruption and political action committees and lobbying kick-backs can have controls placed upon them. FURTHER I believe they should retire with the same retirement insurance we have, AND not be given full salary retirement unless they have more than 90% participation/attendance at congressional sessions. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerNo. Long-term prisoners should be given the option of participating in combat front lines for one year, the second year in front line support services and a year 3 on to a military career commitment in exchange for pardons upon completion of that full retirement. If the prisoner is aged out for front-line physically, then the exchange will be for any type of support service - mechanical, commissary, medical, or other skilled support service for a 10 year stint and/or eligibility for a short-term military retirement. |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only after performing 4 years of military service or graduating college |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerStudents must reach a criteria prior to qualifying for a "free" education. A GPA shall be maintained in order for the "loan" to continue to be "pre-paid" by the government tax on the wealthiest individuals and corporations. If the GPA falls, an interest rate will be imposed until the GPA rises once again. If the student fails to complete the degree program (through no fault of his own), he shall not be expected to repay the "loan." If the student fails to complete the degree program without a justifiable, and provable reason, all loan debt will be prorated on interest and continue to accrue until paid. Once the degree program is completed, the student is relieved of any obligation. If the student is found to falsely obtain any grades by plagiarizing, cheating on exams, or otherwise compromising the purpose of the "free" loan program, criminal charges will be possible and all monies will be reimbursed immediately. |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerNot ON public government buildings (possibly inside if historical in context only - as would be the business carried on in side having some historical need to reference it). Nor should a businesses participating in the free enterprise system. If a "mom and Pop" wants to display one, fine. Flags, once worn, should not be replaced. Its message is too symbolic of terror symbolized by the swastika in the same respect. |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerYes, basic data so long as the collection is limited and the meta-tags are specific and articulated to address and justify actual suspicions of terrorist cell activity, or terrorists who are suspect, or specific Homeland Security concerns. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
4>4 Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerIf the minor crimes (DWI/DUI, vehicle accidents, driving moving violations, disorderly conduct, etc) are crimes which did not, but could have a U.S. citizen as a victim, then they should be given a hearing to determine if history indicates this behavior will continue. If there is a victim, or it is habitual, they should be deported. Much time and enforcement costs are spent on unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured vehicles driven by illegal persons who are drunk and damage property, or end in victimizing U.S. citizens without recourse to acquire compensation for damages. If the crime is a felony or capital offense, it should result in immediate jail confinement, following finger-printing, and DNA swab, without bond and delivered to ICE who shall deport the subject immediately. There is a revolving door also. Therefore, flags should be placed in an immigration database by all law enforcement agencies. Training to recognize falsified identifications should be offered. Many re-enter the country over and over using ID's obtained falsely becoming another person who, when ran through the systems do not get a hit. Immediate detention for any arrestable offense, or a questionable ID that can be articulated and justified by training, should include fingerprinting to validate the person. If it is found that any law enforcement agency is delinquent in entering information into the immigrant database a penalty shall be applied to that agency. If the immigrant is found to have over-stayed a visa, they will be deported, entered into the database and not be eligible for another visa. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerEach state, if expanding Medicaid, should be given the incentive % of assistance which decreases as the states become more able to handle this expansion. |

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, some type of government ID, but not a drivers license necessarily. Under no circumstances should the drivers license, or picture ID from the state motor vehicle department require a NEW birth certificate as this is a hardship on elderly, physically impaired and others who cannot easily maneuver to obtain one. |

4>4 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerIf it is long term with no chance of parole or probation, yes, ban the solitary. If it is short term with the expectation they will return to society, no.
