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	Strongly Oppose The death penalty should be abolished. We should let judges and juries decide what penalties to apply in each case.
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 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	Strongly Oppose Public schools are an important component of American society. We should improve public schools rather than destroying them with 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	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	Oppose Expanding the military is not important and integrant for U.S. now. But when the country meets with defiance or agression, it is acceptable to continue expanding our military.
11. Support & expand free trade	Oppose Trade should be Fair, not Free. Free trade poses a risk to job security, causes humanitarian problems overseas, or results in environmental damage.
12. Support American Exceptionalism
13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Strongly Oppose Availability of guns should be absolutely limited, because more guns mean more killing.
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	Strongly Support Immigration restrictions are racist because they keep out Hispanics and other non-whites. Social services should be offered to all residents of the United States regardless of immigration status.
16. EPA regulations are too restrictive	Strongly Oppose Animals have inherent rights, and nature has inherent value. It is necessary to support vegetarianism and protect environment.
17. Keep God in the public sphere	Oppose Faith-based origanizations and prayer in schools are inappropriate because they fail to recognize American pluralism and religious diversity.
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.
20. Privatize Social Security	Strongly Oppose Government should control the Social Security forever. The Trust Fund should not be invested in anything with risk.
