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	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	Strongly Oppose The income tax and the IRS should be both abolished. Lower and flatter taxes are the good first step.
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 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
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	Support Free Trade Benefits Consumers and Economy.We should only restrict free trade when it poses a security risk.
12. Support American Exceptionalism
13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Strongly Support It is a basic Constitutional right and expresses the principle of self-defense against violence.
14. Expand ObamaCare	Strongly Oppose Government should not be involved with providing healthcare, because it would make the government takeover of a large portion of the economy and undue intrusions into personal medical histories.
15. Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens	Support The government should make few restrictions on immigration but not treat illegal aliens as criminals.
16. EPA regulations are too restrictive
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 Oppose Women or minorities should fend for themselves rather than relaying on government interventions, because government should not enforce this.
19. Comfortable with same-sex marriage	Strongly Oppose Homosexuality is immoral. We must eradicate so that homosexual values are not imposed upon our children.
20. Privatize Social Security	Strongly Support Americans should self-determine their retirement funding instead of entrust to the government.
