So many of these institution provide other important care to those who have no where else to go. I would like to have a better way of educating women about birth control, elective surgeries, and mental health. I think these desisions should be between a doctor and a patient.

When the life of the mother or child is at risk. As a country we no longer respect the life of an unborn child. Media makes light of a very dark and complicated issue. While I firmly believe that most abortions are child sacrificing to the idols of career, body, or prosperity, I do not want to give the control over to a heartless govenment. Jesus did nothing to change the laws in his day, instead, He chose to change the hearts of people. "Save" the mother and you will save the child.

I think this should be a decision made with a doctor and patient. I am not a doctor or biologist so I don't think I have the autority to make these decisions.

Agree

I do not advocate breaking laws no mater how poorly constructed.

Raising the minimum wage causes a ripple effect that leads to inflation. As the cost of labor goes up, the cost of production rises. Money spent on employee taxes is not recovered so product prices raise faster than the change of wages.

Strongly Agree

Capitalism is good, crony capitalism is bad. Fix those laws.

1. Eliminate the Federal Department od Education and bring the resorces home to the counties. 2. Return the state to a $0 base budget. (All departments should turn in a budget showing the need/purpose of the all money requested each year.) 3. Cap all pay raises for elected officials. These were inteded to be volunteer position with the officials going home to their "real" jobs when the session was over.

While the founders of this country were mostly Christian, they witnessed what happens when any single religion becomes the ruling power. While our counries rule of law was taken from the ten commandments, our founding father chose to allow people of any religion to practice within our borders. If you give any religion the power to change the law, you risk the posibility of it being another's religion who controls the govenment.

Disagree

Private business is private. Government entities are not private and should not take any religious stand. The code of law which claims all (hu)mans are equal should be enforced.

C/D While I would like to get the government completely out of healthcare, we do need a safety net for those who are in great need. I would rather the private charities handle the needs of the indigent, there should be some supervision to see that everyone in need is helped.

Strongly Disagree

This is not a proper function of government. I would like the medical industry to handle the data to help share information and costs.

Agree

While I don't believe the government should ban trade between the USA and other countries, I think Americans should see what their dollars are funding in other countries.

I believe we should support the people of the nation of Israel but not always it's govenment.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in the rule of law. I think our imagration laws are in shambles and need redress so we would not need sanctuary cities. People flee from many places in the world for various reasons. I would like to redirect our military forces to the process of documenting people coming into our country, not to turn them away but to see that they are documented and accounted for.

Strongly Agree

Neutral

I think our entire education system need to be redressed. The costs have increased at a far, far greater rate than inflation.

Agree

The economy has made it nearly impossible for parents to be as involved in the education and raising of their children necessary. The public school system has become a babysitter while the parents struggle to pay their bills. While there are some parents who abuse their parental rights, (and we need to be aware), most parents just want their children educated. They do not want the schools to form their children's moral values.

Strongly Agree

Once a person is old enough to pay thier way in the world, (no longer living at home) they should have all the rights of an adult and to make those choices.

Agree

While I believe marriage is God-Ordained, I don't have an issue with civil unions. Marriage is a religious covenant. If your religion allows it, It is not the duty of government to get involved.

Neutral

I don't believe you can legislate morality.

I am a biblical Christ follower. While I try to follow God's commandment to love God and love others, I often fail. I am also a Libertarian who belives our Government is bloated and abusive.

Disagree

At this stage of technology, there is no reason someone would not have a form of ID. It is required for everything from going to the doctor to walking down the street.

Strongly Disagree

If we were to go down that road, we would have to give the country back to the Native Americans and most of the south west to Mexico. I would much rather spend the time, money, and energy fighting the current countries that allow slavery and racism.

Neutral

I would advocate for gender neutral restrooms in all public buildings. I think it should be left to the sorority to chose whether or not to have a male join. I firmly oppose allowing men to compete in women's sports and using the locker rooms. I would leave it up to a private women's shelter to decide whether or not to allow a biological male, government run shelters should not be given the choice. Prisons should not be given the choice.

Strongly Disagree

The world had gone through cycle of hot and cold for centuries. The USA is one of the least offenders of carbon emmissions. I do support taking care of our lands through good stewardship.

If we are going to force everyone away from coal and gas, we need to consider nuclear. The byproducts of solar and wind are as bad as coal and gas. Neither wind or solar have proved to be consistant enough to eliminate coal and gas.

I am a Libertarian. I am conservitive in some issues and liberal in others. I believe in less government control in all aspects of our lives.

To seek justice. I lean highly toward a restorative justice system and less use of prisons.

Disagree

I think parents should take more responsibility for their children. This is not a governmental duty outlined in the constitution.

Strongly Agree

No religious laws should be incorporated in the legal framework beyond our founding documents.

I would advocate for more education and less restriction. The right to defend oneself is a basic human right and the government has no right to restict it.
