General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Strongly Oppose Abortion is immoral and should be absolutely restricted, because it kills a human being. And abortion clinics are illegal.
2. Stricter punishment reduces crime	Support It is necessary to keep "Three Strikes" laws and death penalty on the books, but we also need to avoid inappropriate imprisonment or sentencement.
3. Marijuana is a gateway drug
4. Higher taxes on the wealthy	Strongly Support A progressive income tax is necessary in modern society. That is the right way to run our tax system.
5. Stimulus better than market-led recovery	Strongly Oppose The federal government caused the Great Recession, and keeping out of the economy will end it.
6. Vouchers for school choice	Strongly Support Government's role in schooling should be limited. State-funded vouchers should pay for private schools, charter schools, home-schooling, or whatever schools parents choose.
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 Oppose There's no global warming - it's just natural climatic variation. And if there is a problem, we won't be affacted much.
9. Avoid foreign entanglements
10. Expand the military	Strongly Support U.S. needs to keep expanding the military. Increase defense spending is also to meet global responsibilities.
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	Support Most gun owners can use them safely and responsibly, and it expresses the principle of self-defense against violence. So gun ownership should not be restricted.

15. Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens	Strongly Oppose We should strictly enforce our immigration laws, and crack down on illegal immigrants that have already in the US by deporting and removing all their social benefits.
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.
18. Legally require hiring more women & minorities	Oppose Affirmative Action is a noble idea, but should not be enforced by government.
19. Comfortable with same-sex marriage	Strongly Oppose Homosexuality is immoral. We must eradicate so that homosexual values are not imposed upon our children.
