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.

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

Absolutely racism is a threat to domestic security in the United States.

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.
