Abortion

1. Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
- Pro-choice

2. Other or expanded principles

1. In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
- Yes

2. In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending?
- No

3. Other or expanded principles

Campaign Finance

1. Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?
- Yes

2. Other or expanded principles

- No

3. Other or expanded principles
- I support spending on infrastructure to lower the barriers to economic growth, so that the velocity of money in our economy accelerates.

Education

1. Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards?
- Yes

2. Other or expanded principles
- to a minimum extent, yes.For example, Slaves kidnapped from Africa cannot be referred to as migrants (or in any way voluntary).For example, presenting religious based ideas that are not viewed with scientific merit in science class without disclaimers is not education. Facts and non-facts cannot be blindly mixed.

Energy & Environment

1. Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)?
- Yes

2. Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions?

Guns

1. Do you generally support gun-control legislation?
- Yes

2. Other or expanded principles

- I support a guest worker program where businesses can not only post jobs but request specific employees/people. Employees that are not requested and don't have jobs should be sent home (question above). Employees who do get requested and stay productively working without other law violations would earn legal residency over time.

Marijuana

- No

2. Other or expanded principles
- I support de-criminalization, not legalization.If the society is changing to accept marijuana, then over time, lets see to it that small farmers get the opportunity to produce and sell crops, and not large industrialized companies.Minimize corrections costs for people who are only guilty of drug crimes & work to return those people to once again become productive taxpayers and productive members of society.
