Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
5>5 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples. Additionally, I'd imagine the donor-parent might want to know. If they do, they might want that right. |
Social › Abortion
5>5 Personal answerPro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions |
Social › Gay Marriage
5>5 Personal answerYes, but allow the uptight and close-minded churches the right to refuse performing the ceremony. But I don't know why Catholics would forbid it, especially considering all their same-sex priest-boy scandals. Lastly, why shouldn't persons of every sexual preference have the right to be miserable in marriage too, and to be cleaned out in divorce? |
the Economy › Equal Pay
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
5>5 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, training, and close the gun show and other loopholes. Seize black market guns. Imprison black market dealers/sellers. Assault rifles should be restricted to military use; they're not needed to hunt a deer. Explore fingerprint-enabling, matched to cleared IDs. Additionally, if someone passionately wants to exercise their right to bear arms, they can join the military and do it there. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
5>5 Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |
Social › Gender Identity
5>5 Personal answerYes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
5>5 Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign PROMINENTLY stating their beliefs and what they refuse so the more open-minded public can have legit reason to take their business elsewhere. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
5>5 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
5>5 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
5>5 Personal answerYes, and adjust it every year according to inflation |
the Environment › Climate Change
5>5 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
5>5 Personal answerYes, the lack of paid sick leave is unfair to working men and women |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
5>5 Personal answerYes, the mild/harmless ones (marijuana). Also, retroactively reduce sentences for those serving time for the non-violent drug-related offenses (excluding dealing) - if those prisoners have been suitably rehabilitated. |

5>5 Personal answerYes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
5>5 Personal answerYes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment, and also for those building a criminal record. |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
5>5 Personal answerYes, but only if their neighborhoods are proving suspect, or if they're showing legit higher crime rates. But it is incendiary and racist. It needs to stop. Perhaps cash-incentivizing Muslims to turn in fellow Muslim terror suspects. |
Education › Student Loans
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigration
5>5 Personal answerYes, after military service or college graduation; make them appreciate it. |
Social › Death Penalty
5>5 Personal answerYes, but only for horrific crimes (murder and the like) with undeniable evidence. Letting the victim's family make their will known should also be taken under consideration, but they do not become judge and jury. |

Social › Government Mandates
5>5 Personal answerYes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception |

5>5 Personal answerYes, but only at historical monuments where it was originally flown |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
5>5 Personal answerYes, if the government considers you too dangerous to board a plane you should not be able to buy a gun |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
5>5 Personal answerYes, basic data collection could help track suspected terrorists. But aren't they communicating via chat rooms, gaming consoles, email accounts (drafts) and the like? Metadata tracking alone will hardly do the trick. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
5>5 Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Social › Women in Combat
5>5 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
5>5 Personal answerNo, only if they are convicted of a violent crime |
Healthcare › Medicaid

Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
5>5 Personal answerYes |
