NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

I believe we need to continue the current funding in National terrorism. We also need to encourage Muslim countries to adopt rule of law, tolerance equal rights to all it's citizens. A change in cultral but it has to come within the Muslim countries themselves.

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

As an In dividual running for state senate I can not comment on this issue. And I would need more information to comment on it

Responsible individuals who are willing to abide by the due process (which needs refining), obey the laws of our country, and contribute positively toward society.

Neutral

No person should be discriminated against because of how they identify themselves within reasonable boundaries, such as work, education and housing. At the same time, no biological male should ever compete in female sports because it then diminishes the efforts of the female competitors. Compassionate reasonableness needs to prevail.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
