General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Support It is reasonable to restrict "Partial-Birth Abortions" for safe reasons, but clinic access should be unrestricted.
2. Stricter punishment reduces crime	Strongly Oppose The death penalty should be abolished. We should let judges and juries decide what penalties to apply in each case.
3. Marijuana is a gateway drug
4. Higher taxes on the wealthy	Support Flatter taxes benefit the wealthy more than the lower and middle class. We should focus tax relief on the majority of taxpayers instead of on the richest.
5. Stimulus better than market-led recovery	Strongly Support The federal government should intervene in the economy and inject as much funding as needed to recover from the Great Recession, including direct federal job creation.
6. Vouchers for school choice	Strongly Oppose Public schools are an important component of American society. We should improve public schools rather than destroying them with vouchers.
7. Make voter registration easier	Strongly Support Voter ID laws are racist and intended to suppress minority voting. Taxpayer funds should be used for political campaigns.
8. Prioritize green energy	Strongly Support Overuse of fossil fuels causes serious problems that we should deal with immediately. And green energy is absolutly a good option for us to Stop Global Warming.
9. Avoid foreign entanglements
10. Expand the military	Support It is necessary to expand military under financial budgets. Only our military are strong enough, our people can live freely enough.
11. Support & expand free trade	Oppose Trade should be Fair, not Free. Free trade poses a risk to job security, causes humanitarian problems overseas, or results in environmental damage.
12. Support American Exceptionalism
13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Strongly Oppose Availability of guns should be absolutely limited, because more guns mean more killing.
14. Expand ObamaCare	Strongly Support Very few Americans have adequate health insurance. The government should make funds available for all citizens.
15. Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
16. EPA regulations are too restrictive	Strongly Oppose Animals have inherent rights, and nature has inherent value. It is necessary to support vegetarianism and protect environment.
17. Keep God in the public sphere	Oppose Faith-based origanizations and prayer in schools are inappropriate because they fail to recognize American pluralism and religious diversity.
18. Legally require hiring more women & minorities	Strongly Support Past discrimination should be corrected. Government should enforce Affirmative Action laws in companies.
19. Comfortable with same-sex marriage	Strongly Support In free country, people are free to choose their mate, whichever gender they like. Homosexual partners or marriages are equal with heterosexual ones.
20. Privatize Social Security	Strongly Oppose Government should control the Social Security forever. The Trust Fund should not be invested in anything with risk.
