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.
2. Stricter punishment reduces crime	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
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	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	Oppose It is ok to continue experimenting with charter schools, and with public school choice, but only as a limited experiment, and no vouchers.
7. Make voter registration easier	Support Voter ID laws just make it harder for people to vote, but what we should do is to make voting easier.
8. Prioritize green energy	Support We should establish a market-based solution for excess carbon emissions. The Kyoto Protocol should require developing countries' participation to make the solution work.
9. Avoid foreign entanglements
10. Expand the military	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
11. Support & expand free trade	Strongly Oppose We should restrict trade with any country which costs us jobs or which creates a trade deficit. And International trade just ships jobs overseas.
12. Support American Exceptionalism
13. Absolute right to gun ownership	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
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	Oppose Illegal immigration is illegal and should be enforced against.
16. EPA regulations are too restrictive	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
17. Keep God in the public sphere	Strongly Oppose Church-state separation precludes the involvement of religious institutions in social services. Basically, we should not violate the Constitutional principle in this case.
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	Support Homosexuals are equal with any other members of society. We should acknowledge the legitimacy of homosexual partners, but civil unions are preferable to using the term "marriage".
20. Privatize Social Security	Strongly Oppose Government should control the Social Security forever. The Trust Fund should not be invested in anything with risk.
