Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
t>t Personal answerNo. No one with mental problems should have adoption rights. |
Social › Abortion
t>t Personal answerOverall, I'm pro-life, but I regrettably can condone it when the mother's life is at stake, and in cases of rape and incest. However, if the government is going to allow it, it should not be allowed once the heart is fully developed at 10 weeks. However, another exception would be if a doctor advises an abortion in cases of very severe fetal defects. |
Social › Gay Marriage
t>t Personal answerNo. It's ridiculous and makes a parody out of real marriage. I wish psychologists would get a backbone and definitively declare all this LGBTQA+ alphabet soup a mental aberration. It's a perversion. Let's stop condoning it as though it's not. And, yes, I'm fully aware that heterosexuals have perversions and mental aberrations also. But in the case of heterosexuals, the parts fit the way they're suppose to according to intended function and design. This is real science and psychology. Unfortunately, there are way too many psychologists practicing psuedo-science and psuedo-psychology. Let's stop the political correctness nonsense. Now, after saying all this, I don't condone LGBTQA+ folks being persecuted. They need support, and help, and treatment. So do heterosexuals who have perversions and mental aberrations. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
t>t Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
t>t Personal answerNo, only for criminals and the mentally ill. In addition, the government should pass a national "stand your ground" law. Running away and trying to deescalate does not always work. People cannot outrun bullets, and criminals don't care about deescalation. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
t>t Personal answerYes, because it is for their protection as well. |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
t>t Personal answerNo, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents |
Social › Gun Buyback
t>t Personal answerNo, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
t>t Personal answerNo, except for those who made themselves drug addicts or created their own mental and physical issues due to illegal drug use. Illegal drug addicts need to have a whole other program including forcible removal from society and put into mandatory rehabilitation programs that will cure them and give them skills to become productive members of society. They should not be put into any type of jail or prison unless they commit a crime. The programs should be rehabilitative and not punishment focused. |
Social › Gender Identity
t>t Personal answerNo, there are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined |
Healthcare › Mental Health
t>t Personal answerNo. Should be funded at the local level. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
t>t Personal answerYes |
Social › Transgender Athletes
t>t Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
t>t Personal answerAll immigrants should be vetted. No one single group should be treated differently than all other groups. |
Education › Student Loan Forgiveness
t>t Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
t>t Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
t>t Personal answerNo, hire professionally trained security guards instead |
the Environment › Climate Change
t>t Personal answerWhat, exactly, is your definition of climate change. The biggest contributors to climate damage are our cities and immediate surrounding sprawl. I guess, if we don't want to be hypocritical, we need to start dismantling our cities and so-called civilization. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
t>t Personal answerNo, too many workers take advantage of these programs |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
t>t Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Taxes
t>t Personal answerLower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
t>t Personal answerNo, but police should increase surveillance and patrol of all high crime neighborhoods |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
t>t Personal answerNo |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
t>t Personal answerNo |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
t>t Personal answerNo |
Education › Free College for All
t>t Personal answerNo, but provide lower interest rates for student loans |
Education › Student Loans
t>t Personal answerNo, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans |
Immigration › Immigration
t>t Personal answerYes, if they were born here |
Social › Death Penalty
t>t Personal answerYes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
t>t Personal answerYes, but after they have finished serving their sentence |
Healthcare › Marijuana
t>t Personal answerYes, but only for medical use |
Social › Government Mandates
t>t Personal answerNo |
Social › Hate Speech
t>t Personal answerYes, because I certainly don't trust our politicians to define the boundaries of hate speech. Besides, I'd like to know what my enemy is actually saying about me out loud. That way I am able to take appropriate measures. It's when they're quiet that they're really dangerous. |
Social › Confederate Flag
t>t Personal answerGenerally speaking, no. In case someone hasn't heard, the Confederacy lost the war, and for good reason too! But if is part of an actual historical presentation it should be alright. Example: six flags over Texas. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
t>t Personal answerYes, but not until the no-fly list screening process is improved for accuracy and includes due process |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
t>t Personal answerNo, but there should be mandatory retirement at age 75 or onset of serious illness. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
t>t Personal answerNo, because is anyone really independent and nonpartisan? |
Social › Women in Combat
t>t Personal answerIf a woman wants to, and can serve in a combat role without jeopardizing the other troops, sure, why not? They can take a bullet as well as a man. In fact, I think that if women want to fight our wars we should let them, and maybe the men can stay at the homefront. In this age of equity, males and females should sign up for selective service. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
t>t Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
t>t Personal answerThis should be left to the perogative of the local law enforcement organization. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
t>t Personal answerYes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
t>t Personal answerYes, but if they perform a criminal act or gross negligence they need to be held accountable like any other person. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
t>t Personal answerNo, the government should not determine what is fake or real news |
Immigration › Border Security
t>t Personal answerIf the federal government is not willing to obey and enforce current federal laws/statutes, they why should anyone else be expected to? Congress must either decide to enforce the current laws or change them. Until they are legally changed, the current laws must remain in effect. This is not a matter of doing only that which is anyone's particular convenience. |
Crime › Private Prisons
t>t Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
t>t Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
t>t Personal answerNo, in general. But yes, for emergencies. |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
t>t Personal answerNo, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
t>t Personal answerNo, end all tax credits and subsidies to the energy industry |
Elections › Campaign Finance
t>t Personal answerYes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors |
Elections › Voter Fraud
t>t Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
t>t Personal answerNo, not until we have depleted all other oil reserves |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
t>t Personal answerMaybe. I need to see a lot more detail about such a system to decide whether I would support it or not. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
t>t Personal answerYes, but only if they have no criminal background. Also, American tax laws should apply to them as they apply to all income earners. And if they are in the American tax system they should be able to access those benefits and services that all other taxpayers are able to access. We need them and their children to be positive contributors to society. We need to make it win-win for everyone. After they achieve a certain income level above the poverty line they can be retroactively given a reasonable fine for having entered illegally. Again, seek an overall win-win situation. Also, they should not be able to become full citizens until after they have been in the country for a reasonable amount of predetermined years. Any of their children born here are automatically citizens. For any illegals that become an expense to the nation, we need to send an expense bill to their country of origin.for services rendered to their citizens. |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
t>t Personal answerIncrease for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses |
Social › Safe Spaces
t>t Personal answerNo, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
t>t Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
t>t Personal answerNo, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant |
the Economy › Government Spending
t>t Personal answerYes |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
t>t Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › NATO
t>t Personal answerYes, but continue to emphasize the importance of every member country paying their fair share. |
Immigration › Border Wall
t>t Personal answerI'm not in favor of illegal immigration, but I don't know if a wall is the answer. We should not have an open border. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
t>t Personal answerI think we ought to be able to support any country as long as they are willing to mutually support us. |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
t>t Personal answerYes, absolutely! And keep doing so until all of Ukraine's sovereignty is respected including the Crimean peninsula. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
t>t Personal answerYes, if at all possible, for practical reasons that help to protect them. But they should never be expected to give up their first language, that can actually help and protect all of us. However, I also believe that assimilation helps to unite the country more. Therefore, I think we should remove multilingual translations from government documents and services. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
t>t Personal answerNo, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
t>t Personal answerNo, only those who use firearms criminally or negligently should be held legally responsible. |
Social › First Amendment
t>t Personal answerThe real question should be: When are people going to truly live their lives according to their highest ideals regardless of their professed religion or lack thereof? |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
t>t Personal answerYes. If they are able-bodied. |
Social › Niqāb
t>t Personal answerSure, if the woman truly wants to, and not because some male is making her. Her identity should also be verified by another female. This is not as much of a religious issue as it is a cultural issue. Muslims themselves are constantly arguing whether it is a Qur'anic requirement or not. It's not all that different from all the bickering that goes on amongst the different Christian denominations. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
t>t Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
t>t Personal answerNo, it is necessary for violent criminals who are a danger to themselves and other inmates |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
t>t Personal answerYes, to instill a sense of patriotism for their new country. Even more important is their oath/pledge to the nation's constitution. They should not be given citizenship if they came here only for some sought of economic gain, as this would make them very shallow citizens. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
t>t Personal answerYes. Definitely for drug dealers, and for anyone else caught over a predetermined amount of dangerous drugs. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
t>t Personal answerI think an increase is fine as we may be able to learn from them as they are learning from us. |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
t>t Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
t>t Personal answerYes, but not if it leads to reverse discrimination. |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
t>t Personal answerNo, this would encourage drug use and lower funding for rehabilitation centers |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
t>t Personal answerNo, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth |
Healthcare › Vaccine Mandates for Customers
t>t Personal answerYes |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
t>t Personal answerYes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment |
the Economy › Welfare
t>t Personal answerMore, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
t>t Personal answerNo, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so |
the Economy › Labor Unions
t>t Personal answerIn some ways they help the economy for certain sectors of society, but in other ways they are hurtful. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
t>t Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
t>t Personal answerNo, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions |
Elections › Campaign Finance
t>t Personal answerNo. Too often it breeds corruption. It may also offend those members of these organizations who do not agree with the selection. It may become divisive to the organization itself. |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
t>t Personal answerNo, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
t>t Personal answerYes. But we need be be ecologically conscious to avoid catastrophies. However, it would bring oil/petroleum related products' prices down, and make us less dependent on foreign oil. |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
t>t Personal answerNo. These are investments where the investor is already assuming the risks of the investments. Why should the government benefit without having assumed any risk. The government has been too generous and greedy with other people's money. |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
t>t Personal answerNo, fund national and local programs instead |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
t>t Personal answerNo, this would be unfair to citizen students from out of state and foreign students who must pay their way. |
Education › Common Core
t>t Personal answerYes, I support the concept but not the current implementation |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
t>t Personal answerThe United Nations isn't really united. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
t>t Personal answerYes, I support a majority of the plan but not all aspects |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
t>t Personal answerNo, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties |
the Environment › Fracking
t>t Personal answerI support it only if it does not cause irreparable environmental damage, especially in populated areas. |
Elections › Lobbyists
t>t Personal answerYes, and ban all forms of lobbying |
Elections › Electoral College
t>t Personal answerNo, the electoral college ensures representation of the whole country instead of just major cities |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
t>t Personal answerNo, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
t>t Personal answerIncrease, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
t>t Personal answerYes, but only if landowners are compensated drastically above fair market price |
Crime › Collective Bargaining
t>t Personal answerYes |
Science › Nuclear Energy
t>t Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Animal Testing
t>t Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics |
Foreign Policy › Torture
t>t Personal answerOnly if the person, in fact, has been proven to be a terrorist, and doing so may result in saving innocent lives. One who is willing to terrorize others must not think they are immune to being terrorized in return. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
t>t Personal answerDecrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
t>t Personal answerMore, veterans should be able to see any doctor of their choice |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
t>t Personal answerUsually yes, but not always. Sometimes people are unjustly convicted for political reasons. Examples: Nelson Mandela, Mohandas K. Gandhi. |
Education › School Vouchers
t>t Personal answerYes, but only in communities with perennially low performance public schools. Reconstituting low performance public schools with quality programs, quality personnel, and quality student-data driven performance initiatives is a must. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
t>t Personal answerEither the president or Congress may give the military permission to use drones for intelligence and to kill, not suspected, but known terrorists. The country harboring the terrorists does not need to be consulted, particularly in cases where killing the terrorists will result in saving innocent lives or in retribution of having already taken the lives of our citizens, troops, and allies. |
Science › GMO Labels
t>t Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Taliban Financial Aid
t>t Personal answerOnly if the Taliban let's those organizations have feet on the ground to ensure the aid is used for what it was meant to be used for. |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
t>t Personal answerNo |
Education › Universal Pre-K
t>t Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Public Transportation
t>t Personal answerNo |
Education › Charter Schools
t>t Personal answerYes, but not at the expense of funding public schools |
the Economy › Estate Tax
t>t Personal answerYes, and we should eliminate it |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
t>t Personal answerNo, unless the conviction is overturned. |

t>t Personal answerNo, and revoke the status for those currently holding dual citizenship |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
t>t Personal answerYes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
t>t Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
t>t Personal answerThey should receive due process and a fair trial. But if they are found guilty, they need to incur the harshest of penalties up to including capital punishment. |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
t>t Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
t>t Personal answerNo |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
t>t Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › NATO
t>t Personal answerYes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
t>t Personal answerNo, but drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses |
Science › Space Exploration
t>t Personal answerYes |
the Economy › NAFTA
t>t Personal answerNo, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy |

t>t Personal answerNo. Should be handled by state and local government on a case by case basis. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
t>t Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
t>t Personal answerYes. It's their money and they are assuming any risk involved. Examples: devaluation, hostile nationalization of banks, amongst other risks. |
Foreign Policy › India Arms
t>t Personal answerOnly if India agrees, by contract, not to purchase anymore Chinese and Russian junk. I'm sure they would appreciate having really high quality equipment to defend themselves from future aggression. |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
t>t Personal answerYes, he should be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
t>t Personal answerYou honestly don't think they are surveiling us according to their means? By allies surveiling each other they are able to better see where each other's weaknesses are at to minimize security risks. This improves their collective security. It also makes them a lot more effective in containing any real security threats. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
t>t Personal answerNot until Cuba becomes a truly free democracy. We should have overthrown that gangster regime decades ago. The Cuban people would appreciate it. The Socialist Communist government of Cuba betrayed their citizens and are their worse enemy. Our politicians' have simply lacked the will to do what's necessary. |
Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
t>t Personal answerThis is an internal issue for both Israel and Palestine. The two entities are comingled. It should be the capital of the United States of Israel and Palestine. Wouldn't it be nice if both sides stopped trying to eradicate each other and actually tolerated and cooperated with each other. They are in a position to set a great example to the world. Have a secular government, respect religious plurality, and thrive together. But to make this happen takes political leadership from both sides to have a backbone. |
Education › School Truancy
t>t Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
t>t Personal answerNo, the government should never subsidize private businesses |
Foreign Policy › F-35
