NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.

The United States should generally promote democracy and selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.

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.
Strongly Disagree
BDS - is a racist, bigoted and anti-semitic policy that ignores the policies and actions of the Palestinian governments.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese government (and its private and public agents acting at its behest) see the US as its prime enemy and rival. All parts of that government (including the CCP, sovereign wealth funds, military, even private companies are required to support China's interests abroad) should be treated as agents of an enemy working to subvert our country and its standing in the world.

VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Choose not to answer
Sexual Orientation should be very clearly defined. Pedophiles claim they are expressing their sexual orientation. That should never be protected. Gender Identity is an amorphous term that does not have any solid meeting. So, "no" to Gender Identity.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Many - Election crimes need to be elevated to be among the highest crimes in our country and should be recognized in law as high crimes and misdemeanors. Mandatory photo id to vote Mail-in/Early voting needs to be very restricted and needs based. Mail-in voting violates the principle of an anonymous ballot and makes fraud easier, It should be only permitted in rare cases. Requirement that election officials clean up voter roles every 1-2 years or face severe penalties and ultimately criminal penalties for repeated infractions or intentional misconduct regarding the maintenance of the voter rolls. Mandatory transparency in the collection of, counting of and preservation of votes. Possibly other measures, as well.
