Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, and laws and regulations that make it 3-4 times more expensive should be removed. |
Social › Abortion
9>9 Personal answerAllow abortion - criminalizing it will hurt women who've miscarried (will be investigated) and could outlaw fertility. Make all birth control - including morning-after pill - OTC. |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerTake the government out and let it be a personal or religious decision, and remove all laws that treat married people different from singles. I want Social Security gone, yet as long as it exists, partners should be able to inherit if they have signed an affidavit. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
9>9 Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |

Social › Gun Buyback
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerNo, and repeal anti-discrimination laws for private companies |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerNo, incentivize private companies to address this issue instead |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
9>9 Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerYes if private businesses or leagues or groups allow it. Remove coached sports from schools through college - get rid of what have become minor leagues - and only have intramurals. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
9>9 Personal answerNo, and the government should not give funds to any organizations |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerNo, and eliminate all wage standards |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerYes, if teachers and staff can choose and be trained, and if students' families can choose whether or not to go to that school based on whether there is armed staff. |
the Environment › Climate Change
9>9 Personal answerNo, governments pick political winners and losers, and governments are the biggest polluters. Make those who pollute deliberately liable civilly or criminally. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
9>9 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerAbolish income tax, disallow all but personal deduction, switch to sales tax - and cut spending so hard that it won't be above 10%. Eliminate unconstitutional federal departments, which will reduce needless regulations that kill new businesses - existing can handle. Limit to use or threats of force, crimes against another's property (that includes all pollution), and fraud. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |

Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerYes to a point - acknowledge the mistakes of the past without flinching, yet also not branding everyone now as victims and oppressors. People live up to your expectations, and these are cruel and potentially dangerous expectations. |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
9>9 Personal answerNo, foreign interests should not be able to buy the influence of our politicians |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerNo, it's government paying that has encouraged universities to charge wildly above the inflation rate... Just like health-care providers who also get third-party pay. |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerYes, if they were born here |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Marijuana
9>9 Personal answerYes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerYes if it's a violent offense, property crime, or fraud. No if it's a nonviolent drug charge. |
Social › Government Mandates
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Social › Hate Speech
9>9 Personal answerYes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech |

Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not determine what is fake or real news |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerYes, but not able to make money on inmate labor, and after everyone released who were convicted of victimless crimes. |
Immigration › Border Security
9>9 Personal answerNo, and we should implement an open border policy |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerNo, and the government should never subsidize healthcare |

Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerYes as long as Real ID is not required - it's too hard for people who've changed their names, especially women with multiple marriages. Basic ID should be free. There has been fraud - plenty of witnesses in Indiana before voter ID. (Gerrymandering and voting someone's interest in nursing homes should also count as fraud.) |

9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not be involved in healthcare |

9>9 Personal answerNo, and we should adopt an open border policy |
Foreign Policy › Israel
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should not give aid to any foreign nations |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo. Money in police budgets should be moved from fighting the drug war, enforcing victimless crimes like drug use and voluntary sex work, and incompetent SWAT that go too far with no-knock raids or sit outside while shooters goo on rampage for an hour. (It's nothing new - see Columbine.) No more checkpoints for drugs, seatbelts, anything. Shift to solving crimes, including testing thousands of rape kits. People would be more apt to cooperate if police didn't recruit specially for meatheads. |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Obamacare
9>9 Personal answerNo, government should not be involved in healthcare |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
9>9 Personal answerNo, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to |
the Environment › Fracking
9>9 Personal answerYes, but not in heavily populated areas |

Education › School Vouchers
9>9 Personal answerYes, but I would rather privatize all education |
Foreign Policy › Drones
9>9 Personal answerNo, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerNo, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years and labeling just adds an unfounded stigma to the science |
