Only when the life of the mother is at risk

Strongly Agree

Agree

I support the idea in certain circumstances when there is zero likelihood of recovery and suffering is unbearable.

The best fix is to abolish the 16th Amendment

Any and all spending for any and all things that are not enumerated in the Constitution as specific grants of authorities to the Federal Government

Disagree

No! If 12 years of taxpayer funded education is insufficient to prepare a child to be a productive member of society, what benefit would 4 more years provide? The focus should be on reforming the curriculum in K-12 such that each High School Graduate has the necessary skillsets to be self-sufficient. This means teaching life skills, nutrition, health, finance, basic law, crafts, trades, etc. and not using public education as an indoctrination center.

Strongly Disagree

No. Free will, Right of Conscience, and freedom of association are a few of the foundations of American values that the courts vigorously upheld prior to the Marxist infiltration of our institutions.

None, zero, nada, except. perhaps, if the building was on fire or about to collapse.

I am somewhere between C and D. We don’t have a healthcare system, we have a sickcare system. Since government got involved (unconstitutionally) in it, the costs have escalated at an accelerated pace and skyrocketed with the passage of the Affordable Care Act which created an additional 159 entities that “oversee” the administration of services with the outcome of increased cost and decreased quality of care, and vastly inflated costs of compliance, reporting, and protocols which effectively have turned healthcare workers into drones. I believe that if we were taught good skills in maintaining our health, had access to chemical and pesticide-free food, clean water and air, and taught natural remedies for common ailments, our need for healthcare would diminish. Medicare should be available for those that have paid into the system, but phased out over time. Medicaid may remain a necessity as long as poverty persists. Otherwise, I believe we all have the right to pay for our own healthcare, but healthcare is not a right and government has no Constitutional authority to intercede.

Only under a totalitarian dictatorship where the people are enslaved and have surrendered their God given rights to self-ownership, otherwise, absolutely none.

If the CIA hadn’t meddled in Iran in the 1950’s we may not have ever had this problem in the first place. But, the problem in the middle east is the same problem that led to the Crusades and may not have a solution so long as there are Islamic religious teachings proscribing death to the infidels. It may be a help if the US would stop dropping bombs and using drones resulting in civilian casualties. It may also help, as long as we continue foreign interventionist policies, to help build an economy to provide jobs and prosperity to them, and to develop media channels and distribution of positive propaganda to influence public opinion away from jihad, in the same way the US media controls the narrative to brainwash us.

Neutral

I am 100% for peace and equal rights when it comes to occupation of traditional territories. Did Israel learn annexation and expansion from the history of the US displacing America’s indigenous people? Human nature is hard to extinguish. But the bottom line is that the US should not act as the policemen of the planet.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely yes.

Anyone who is verifiably able to be self-sufficient, willing to abide by the traditions and values upon which the US was founded, who will obey the laws, who can add to American greatness should be free to come and join us. The exceptions for those suffering political or religious persecution should be allowed to seek sanctuary. Those that come to escape poverty and oppressive government should stay in their country and work to improve it. Taxpayer money should not be used to harbor freeloaders.

Strongly Agree

Yes, I do.

Strongly Agree

It is a pity that values and morality have been debased and derided and are seemingly no longer a subject taught to our progeny.

Disagree

I do not. We already have equal protection under the law as well as the freedom of association. Any such legislation, in my opinion, is prohibited as a grant of special privilege and would be a furtherance of the Marxist plank to destroy the family.

Agree

Not that I disagree with this statement, but freedom of association trumps government, and government has no Constitutional authority to legislate regarding marriage.

Strongly Disagree

This is a Marxist plot to destroy our nation!

I serve the Kingdom of God following the examples and teachings of Christ.

Strongly Disagree

While we used a thumb print instead, otherwise no government issued photo ID, no ballot.

Georgia’s voting laws are among the best in the US, however it is the computers and electronic tabulation that needs to be scrapped in favor of hand counting ballots at the precinct level. I would strengthen requirements for absentee ballot requests and signature verification, get us out of the ERIC system, and enact better practices to ensure clean voter rolls, withdraw from Motor Voter registration, and scrutinize groups and organizations funded to push voter registration drives as their main mission. I would push legislation to ensure that any company or organization that contracts with the state, counties, or municipalities, must provide public access to background checks of their employees. And if possible, make election day a holiday and limit voting to only a few days prior.

The problem is the narrative pushed by politicians, influence and grievance groups, and the media to divide and distract us away from seeing that they are destroying the country for their own gain. The powers that be foment racism and it is a pity that some people fall for it. Most Americans are not racist, but labeled racist in an attempt to force acquiescence to the benefit of those that push this agenda.

Strongly Disagree

That boat sailed after the Civil War. No person should be held liable for the sins of their forefathers. The Islamic slave traders and English Law in the Colonial Period requiring slave ownership is not the fault of anyone born after 1779.

A

Disagree

There are environmental consequences inherent in fracking, mostly involving the contamination of the water table. If the Federal Government allowed oil and natural gas extraction in areas where fracking was not necessary, I would be fine with a fracking ban. Save fracking for when it becomes a last resort for supplying energy.

To protect our rights and like it says in the Preamble to the US constitution – “…establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”

Very Conservative

I am a proponent of the Austrian school of Laisse Faire economics, an original intent Constitutional conservative with Madisonian/Jeffersonian non-interventionist perspective, strong supporter of the 1st Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom.

no

I have been a volunteer with VoterGA for over eight years and I’ve learned everything about the vulnerabilities and shortcomings of computerized voting; the lack of security, transparency, and verifiability. I’ve spent eight years lobbying at the Capitol for a system that is secure, transparent, and verifiable. Running for Secretary of State is the best next step for me to escalate ending the electronic/computerized voting in order to restore election fidelity so that each voter can trust their vote is recorded for their candidate. Voting is the foundation of our Representative Republic and therefore must be honest, accurate and verifiable.

Agree

Law enforcement personnel should be held criminally liable for actions and conduct not consistent with their lawful authority.

Strongly Disagree

I do support funding earmarked to integrate mental health and community programs with police policy. I have be involved with the Cobb County Crisis Intervention program for years now and was happy that this program was incorporated into HB 1013 to be implemented state-wide.

The only restrictions needed is for people proven in court to be violent with no regard for human life. Those persons should be and are banned from gun ownership. People suffering mental illness or in mental crisis likely to lead to violence should be restricted form accessing guns, but only after a jury verdict. Red Flag laws are just a way to disarm any person that holds a view not acceptable to the complaining party.

Strongly Disagree

Murder and violence is in the hearts of men, not in their weapon of choice. Did Abel’s family sue God for making rocks?
