General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Oppose The fetus is an independent human being, who has his own righs. The mother cannot deprive a fetus's basic rights.

3. Marijuana is a gateway drug

13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Strongly Support It is a basic Constitutional right and expresses the principle of self-defense against violence.

16. EPA regulations are too restrictive	Support Human needs come first, but it's ok to use natural resource for sustainable development.
17. Keep God in the public sphere	Strongly Support Belief in God is what America was founded upon, so religious organizations, or praying in school, does not violate the separation of church and state. Religious institutions should be involved in welfare or education.

19. Comfortable with same-sex marriage	Strongly Oppose Homosexuality is immoral. We must eradicate so that homosexual values are not imposed upon our children.
