QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, AND CHOOSE HOW THEY WANT TO LIVE THAT LIFE, AS A WOMAN WHO CARRIES LIFE HAS THAT CHOICE A FREEDOM THAT COME WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FULLY EXPRESS YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS AND TO BE PROVIDED THAT WHICH ASSISTS HER MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH EVERYONE DESERVES IN AMERICA, AND COLORADO SPECIFICALLY. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF THE BEDROOM, CHURCH AND WOMB. FOR THE TRAGEDY THAT IS ABORTION IS A PLIGHT THAT IS THAT FIGHT OF RIGHT AND WRONG. THERE IS ONLY ONE DECISION TO BE MADE AND THAT IS THE PRIVELEGE OF A WOMAN, A MOTHER, A DAUGHTER, WHO FACE THEMSELVES EVERYDAY. THE DECISION, EITHER WAY NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED AND PROVIDED FOR THE PROCEDURES, SAFE, CLEAN AND FUTURE SUPPORT FOR THE LOSS OR THE CHILD THAT COMES TO TERM. I PRAY FOR THAT DECISION TO BE MADE SOONER THAN LATER, AS WE ALL KNOW.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
MY CHOICE IS FOR LIFE BUT I BELIEVE A WOMAN HAS THE CHOICE AND PUBLIC FUNDS MAY SUPPORT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOSTER CHILDREN, ADOPTION SERVICES AND FAMILY, SINGLE PARENT SUPPORT. THESE CHILDREN WILL BE OUR FUTURE LEADERS, CARETAKERS AND A CAREER WILL DEVELOP AS WE HOLD THAT DECISION. NOT-FOR-PROFIT NEEDS TO AND CAN FILL THE GAP.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
I BELIEVE WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, BUT WITH US WE SOMETIMES CUT IT SHORT AND OUR CHILDREN YOUTH OF TOMORROW AND THE GIRLS ARE TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES IN REGARD TO THE PRESSURES MOUNTED RECENTLY AND CURRENTLY AND CONTINUE. IF YOU MAKE A DECISION DO IT WITH COURAGE AND LOVE, AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED AS YOU GO, DON'T GO, STICK AROUND, UNLESS YOU JUST CAN'T. YOU GET TO DECIDE. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT SUICIDE.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
TABOR BILL OF RIGHTS HAS GIVEN COLORADO A CEILING OF SPENDING AND A REFUND TO ALL TAXPAYERS INTO THE NEAR FUTURE THE FIRST CHECK GREW AND WILL GROW WITH A STRONG ECONOMY WITH SENIOR, VETERANS AND OTHER ABILITIES COULD BE UTILIZED FOR TAX PURPOSE OR CREDITS OR UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME FOR VOLUNTEERISM WHICH ALREADY GIVES 100% BY MEANS OF A 501(C)(3) DEDUCTION PROPERTY TAXES CAN AND DO EFFECT RESIDENTS AS DEVELOPMENT, ZONING AND OTHER FEES RISE ABOVE TO KEEP THE SUNSHINE OUT. MORE SUNSHINE DAYS TO SAVE TAXES OR DONATE TAXES OR TAKE THEM AWAY ENTIRELY.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
COLORADO BALANCES BUDGET INTERNALLY WITH PRIORITIES GIVEN BY GOVERNOR TABOR DEMANDS IT AND YOU BENEFIT BY SPENDING IT AND FEEDING THE ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT WILL GROW WE SEE IT GROW SO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE WITH GOOD PUBLIC EDUCATION. PERIOD.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Agree
SCHOOL CHOICE IS FROM PAROCHIAL TO HOME TO ONLINE AND THE BEST TEACHERS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY DENVER JUST MADE A 8.7% PAY GRADE, VOUCHERS MAY BE USED OR DONATED, TEACH THE WHOLE CHILD ARTS ARE ESSENTIAL MUSIC IS A MUST FOR EARLY EDUCATION LOANS FORGIVEN UPON EMPLOYMENT IN EDUCATION AND STIPEND, OR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GRADUATION. OUR CHILDREN NEED LIFE LONG MENTORS / COACH / BIG BROTHER OR SISTER TO HELP THEM GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
BELIEF AND MORALS SPELL CHURCH BUT BUSINESS IS BUSINESS AN YOU CAN DO NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO BUSINESS AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. CERTAIN BEHAVIOR IS NOT TOLERATED AND THAT WHICH IS OVERTLY ZEALOUS, CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CROSS THE LINE.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE, NO GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE, STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH, RELIGIOUS AND BELIEF, THEOCRACY. ESPECIALLY IN ORDER FOR A DEMOCRACY AND VICE VERSA TO PROPERLY FUNCTION IN AMERICA.
HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
B MEDICAID CAME BACK TO THE STATE TO FUND, WE PAID BACK FEDERAL FUNDS. PRIVATE AND EMPLOYER HEALTH INSURANCE ARE NUMEROUS.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Did not answer
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Understand that they take away women's rights and art, education and claim theocracy. America must repair the Damage to the WORLD Democracy and uphold voting rights. Apathy opens the door to anarchy. We must care, yet we left in a hurry leaving behind atrocities and a regime that lives on
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Neutral
I lived, worked and spent time trying to understand how this Country survived, yet I read a passage. The Passover Jordan is very clear.
