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	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	Oppose Cutting taxes and reducing regulation is the means to recuperate from the Great Recession.
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	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

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	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.
