RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Separation of church and state, refers to a wall of separation that ensures the government does not establish a national religion or one state-endorsed religion. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the establishment of a national religion, but rather allows United States citizens to freely exercise their right to practice any religion or none at all.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Healthcare should be available to all citizens. Healthcare insurance funded by the government, as well as private health care insurance for those who want it. I do not support socialized medicine.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree

Neutral
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
Showing a photo ID to vote will help with election integrity, and reduce voter fraud. The government should pay for a voter ID card for those persons who cannot afford to purchase a voter ID card. Currently, thirty six states require voters to present identification in order to vote on Election day.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Agree
In limited circumstances, reparations should be afforded to persons of color where slavery, forced segregation, and systematic government sponsored racism created disparities.
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Neutral
Scientific data suggests that human activities such as burning fossil fuels, oil, coal and gas are the main cause of global warming. Greenhouse gasses, rising temperatures, arctic sea ice melt, and retreating glaciers are evidence cited. Studies suggest that slowing man made global warming can be achieved by reducing emissions through a gradual transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal. Some critics argue against the "urgency" of global warming.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Renewable energy sources.
