General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Strongly Support Abortion should be decided by a woman herself. It is an important part of their health rights and reproductive freedom.

3. Marijuana is a gateway drug
4. Higher taxes on the wealthy	Oppose A Flat Tax is a good idea. It would simplify the entire tax system and get rid of loopholes that drive tax-avoiding behaviors.
5. Stimulus better than market-led recovery	Support In order to recover from the Great Recession, the federal government should institute stimulus for private corporations for more hiring.
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.

13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Oppose The only "gun right" is self-defense against violence. The government should reinforce registration rules and keep guns away from children.

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.
