ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID should be required in all states to vote. I would also like to see a bar code that is attached to each ballot and gets placed beside the person's signature when they vote to allow for easier recount as well as to limit the ability for voter fraud. However, all of these issues are state issues under the Constitution. Article 1 Section 4 Clause 1.

EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely racism is a threat to domestic security in the United States. As we continue to divide our country with the talk of how racist one group is or the other, it will continue to cause more rioting and attacks. Until we can unite as a country regardless of skin color, we will continue to have attacks from all sides both from within our country as well as from international locations.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
Departmental policy does not mean legal. I support the law enforcement community tremendously, however their job is to enforce the law and should be held accountable if they are not following the law. It is no different then someone following business practice in the private sector then getting charged with a crime even though they did not break company policy.
