General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Oppose The fetus is an independent human being, who has his own righs. The mother cannot deprive a fetus's basic rights.
2. Stricter punishment reduces crime	Strongly Support "Three Strikes" Laws and death penalty are necessary. The stricter punishment we use, the less crimes it occurs.
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	Oppose Cutting taxes and reducing regulation is the means to recuperate from the Great Recession.
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	Support Voter ID laws just make it harder for people to vote, but what we should do is to make voting easier.

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	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
19. Comfortable with same-sex marriage	Oppose People have rights to choose their lifestyle, so they must live by the consequences of their choice. Society needs practical restrictions on gay rights to foster family development.
