I would vote to keep PA pro choice. I would like to see abortions be done as early as possible. We can do better at teaching our children the consequences of being careless. Adults too could learn a little about being careless. We can do better with a little precaution.

Disagree

If planned parenthood could use this money to educate kids on the use of contraceptives and help supply them. We may face lowering abortion numbers and stds Again this is back to we can do better as parents teaching our kids.

Agree

If someone is suffering from pain or incurable disease. They should have the right to decide.

Lower gas taxes. Stop raising taxes to cover government pensions

Travel. We don't need to send representatives to Poland. They could use other means to see how Ukrainian refugees were treated. We don't need to send officials around the world for meetings. Skype works. It worked well for millions that were forced to stay home and work.

Disagree

The average American won't support a tax increase to cover this. We can do better with lowering the cost of college. Cut out the worthless college courses. Nobody should need to take a class like brisk walking in college. design a program that is streamlined towards a profession. Have colleges agree to be paid a percentage of what their students earn after graduation. This would have colleges put their money where their mouth is.

Agree

It's their choice. Plenty of businesses out there that will do what somebody wants. If they don't want your money move on. In today's climate businesses will find out what it means to refuse someone. They'll go broke.

None and that goes for any business. Unless they are doing criminal activity.

I would pick option (B) Healthcare is a tough cookie to crumble. Costs need to be lowered on everything. Profit is not a bad word but gouging is. Cost can be cut at all levels with out diminishing quality of care.

None. This goes back to "My body my choice"

We should keep a good eye towards the middle east and here in the USA. Over the last ten years we have worked pretty well at lowering the threats.

Neutral

I have to say. " i know nothing about this." I do believe that the fighting will never end over there. Ego and religion have gotten in the way. Peace will never happen

Agree

Yes we need secure borders. My wife is an immigrant. She came from Slovakia. It was a long process to become a citizen.

Anybody that does it legally. Having people that want to come here is not a bad thing. Have people that become productive citizens is not a bad thing. Having people sneak across the border is not the best situation for anybody.

Strongly Agree

Finding the best education for your children is a good thing. We owe it to our kids. My daughter has had several different schools. She did one year in eastern Europe( Kindergarten) They taught her two languages. When she came home the pandemic hit. We did a cyber charter for a year and a half. Then Brick and mortar. Of the 3 schools. Brick and mortar was the least educational. Our public schools need help or people will start leaving in droves. I would support all day kindergarten.

Agree

I agree with this. It was a start to some good laws. We no longer need a bible or Torah to tell us how to live. Common sense should tell you what is wrong.

Agree

Nobody should be bullied or denied anything due to who they are. Pick the best person for the situation.

Disagree

100's of people want to make you angry during they day. If you can find safety and love in the same sex all the better. Why should people of the same sex not be allowed to have something special. Imagine building a lifetime of memories and assets. One passes away. The other dose not get survivor rights. The government takes it all. That's not right. Who are we to stop some ones happiness?

Neutral

I don't know enough about CRT. Everything i search comes back to one side or the other. As a whole we can do a lot better on race relations. We can stop the media baiting and commercial gains from pushing hate. It takes more energy to be hateful than nice.

I grew up with a single mom that changed her religion often. 3 different during my childhood.

Disagree

It's not that hard to get id. Over the past elections people have lost confidence in the system. One side says 'Russia" the other "stolen" We need to restore confidence across the board.

If any it would be to use a photo id. I would also like to see open primaries and a national primary day.

No. Racism is not a threat to the US security. It may have small pockets of threats But not the US as a whole. f we stop listening to the media. We can do better as people. sit down with somebody from a different background. You'll find they want the same thing. A happy family, food, a roof and job. You'll find their fears are the same as yours. By talking to people you can see we're all the same.

Disagree

Another thing i don't know much about. have no idea how these would be handled.

I can see the problems with both answers. The environment is a problem all over the world. We need a greater solution than just the USA changing things. We need to buy less wasteful stuff. f we crack down on businesses they will move out. If we could clean up public drinking water. Maybe that would eliminate the need for plastic water bottles. If we drove less that would help on emissions. People want cleaner energy. How about we use less.

Neutral

People from PA want like this. know it will bring some money in here. I just don't think the ground water can handle it. As i said above " lets use less energy"

general purpose is to keep people safe and things moving freely. They have failed one after the other. It feels like their purpose is to line their pockets.

Moderate

I feel that i fall right n the middle. With a compromise we can all get along. No more my way or the highway. Let's meet in the middle and take the back roads. Life is to stressful to argue over everything. With all the fighting and bickering nothing gets done. help change things for the better with a compromise

Did not answer

No i have not

would like to push PA for all day kindergarten. I would also like to see a second language taught earlier in schools. i'd like to see PA have open primaries along with a national primary day. by the time it roll around here. It is over. Most of the candidates have dropped out. think we could do something about the price of gas. Stop the gouging by station owners and big corporations. Only allow them to raise the price if they get a delivery of gas. I would stand behind any business that staid open if the government said shutdown. It was not right that big box stores sold out while mom and pop stores staid shut. Walmart sold out of toys while local stores could not open. 'd like to see candidates live in an area for a full term before they run. I'd like to see term limits of 12 years. I don't think we need 100 round clips for guns. We can do better with who we sell guns to. We need to bring up our quality of mental healthcare. It's better to cry on somebodies shoulder than their funeral. as an independent i don't have party bosses to satisfy. only the voters. If we can make a facebook poll about what pie to eat on the fourth of July. Why can't i make a poll on how to vote for a bill. I would like to set up a page where people tell me how to vote, yes or no.

Agree

Our problem is we don't live in a perfect world. Lots of times police officers have a split second to decide. If they react the way the were trained. How can you punish them. Change the training if it is wrong. We need to teach a better interaction between police and civilians. It needs to be taught to both parties. Police should not be shooting people in the back as they run away and people need to know not to run.

Neutral

i would bet with a good audit. You would find that a good percentage of funding is waste. That could go towards mental health. I see police cars idling alongside the road everyday. Turn them off. save gas and hours of run time. The car will last longer. I'm not for removing officers on the street. just looking into where the funding goes. we can do better. Everybody can do better.

We don't need to sell ar15s to kids that just turn 18. We don't need 100 round clips. We need to be able to do better background checks. Maybe a pre sale test. I would think most honest gun owners would support a waiting period on assault riffles. With that said. You'll find most gun damage done by illegal guns. We need to change a whole culture of gun violence. Teach people respect. So they respect for others. As parents we need to do this at home. then it will be carried over to schools and on to the work place. We need to find a better way to look into peoples' past and see if they are safe to buy a gun. After something happens we see the neighbor say " yes he was a little strange" I'm a legal gun owner and not here to ban them. I would support stronger red flag laws.

Disagree

Only if the dealer sold an illegal gun or aided in a straw purchase.
