well I myself, am pro-life and would not consider the option of abortion given my adherence to responsibility for my own actions, I would agree to cases of Rape or incest or in a situation where the life of the mother or the baby were in jeopardy at the recommendation of a licensed physician. Most Libertarians would say that the government should not be involved in a person's personal and medical decisions. I feel that my perspective as a Libertarian says a person should be allowed to do what they want, how they want, when they want, and have the ability to make their own decisions regarding that which affects them directly, up until the point in which their choices or actions affect or infringe on the rights of another to include the pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, and all rights guaranteed by the US Constitution to any citizen within its jurisdiction. I would enter into discussions with fellow Representatives to come to a conclusion in which a baby is considered a viable form of life respecting both sides of the conversation and coming to the conclusion on which that baby should be the just recipient of protections afforded to it under the US Constitution to include the right to life. At that point in the pregnancy I would not condone abortion as it would infringe on that baby's right to life.

Agree

I would not agree to Public funding of abortion procedures with money University collected from taxpayers due to lack of consensus amongst the population regarding the legality and or morality of abortion procedures. All other funding of that institution with the exception of abortion should be enabled as government funding is normally allocated.

Agree

Strongly Disagree

Government does not have the right to close churches, mosques, temples or any other place of worship.

Stop involving ourselves in their business. Stay out of middle east entanglements and quit blackmailing them with the petro dollar. If we would have done this in the first place like Ron Paul said years ago, we would not have had to fight 30 years of wars in the middle east at the cost of trillions of American dollars and THOUSANDS of brave American veterans and the health and mental affects of unwinnable wars. We spent trillions of dollars to replace the Taliban with...the Taliban and created ISIS in the process. I do not consider this a success or an intelligent effort in any semblance of the matter.

Strongly Disagree

We should absolutely quit involving ourselves in any foreign entanglements, especially in the Middle East. All we have done is create more chaos, more violence, and a generation of people that feel the need for revenge against us for our involvement and interference in the first place all in the name of oil. we are not the world's police. If other nations feel this is in their best interest, let them involve themselves at the cost of their economy, safety, security, and death of their troops.

C. to ensure those in poverty and the elderly on fixed income or social security will still be able to access basic healthcare. I actually believe that even those programs should be eliminated as the force of public opinion will force care providers to voluntarily provide healthcare philanthropic options to the most impoverished and those on fixed income.

Government should not be involved in your personal healthcare decisions in any way. You are responsible for your own safety and your own choices to protect yourself. Schools are government run so they fall into this category. Employers that require vaccinations will suffer the results of their own decisions when they are not able to maintain a workforce that does not submit to mandatory medical procedures. Those employers that leave the decision to their employees will garner the support and employment of displaced workers.

We should abolish the income tax and institute a "fair tax" or "consumption tax" with exceptions for common goods or "pre-bates"

I would want to be apart of that conversation to understand the proposals being made from other representatives and have accurate and unmitigated access to information required to make that determination.

Strongly Disagree

Highschool education should prepare a child to enter the workforce with basic skills and life skills. College is a personal choice and is not necessary for a child to have a fulfilling and profitable career. This is a choice, not a necessity and even if it were, it must also include the option for taxpayer-funding of private education as well.

Strongly Agree

I support legal, vetted immigration but absolutely do not condone or support illegal migration. All borders and ports should be secured immediately. Even legal immigrants support this. A close friend waited 2 years to immigrate legally, while others chose to violate our laws with their first step across the border, skipping ahead of legal, law abiding applicants, and placing an undue burden on an already struggling social system that can't even take care of our own citizens properly.

Anyone wishing to apply, having been vetted for criminal background or terroristic intent, as long as we can justify the numbers allotted per year, and I fully encourage the use of sponsorship to reduce the strain on an already struggling social support system.

Strongly Agree

I fully support parental choice in education. I fully support Universal School Access. This proposal has worked in Wisconsin and their school systems are outperforming ours. We need to model successful programs like in Wisconsin for the betterment and success of Iowa's education system and the success and fulfillment of our students. I have a full page describing my support on my website at www.sean4ia71.com

Disagree

We are a nation of many religions and values reflected in our morality. Those values are not singularly represented in our modern population. Limited government is reflected by people who desire to live in peace, coexisting with their neighbors, to be left alone to pursue their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and as long as their choices do not infringe on the rights or property of others, they should be free of government interference and prohibition.

Disagree

We already have laws protecting the biological gender of all people from discrimination. What difference the assumed identity a person chooses is inconsequential. Given the choice to identify as one gender or another is viewed and practiced as fluid, any such regulation is irrelevant.

Disagree

I do not believe a church or religion should be forced to perform a marriage if it goes against their beliefs, there are others that will. In the matter of government recognizing a same sex marriage, there should not be any encumbrance to a same sex couple to be married in the eye of government. I personally believe the government should not be in the business of contractual relationships and thus should leave the practice of marriage out of government.

Disagree

Racism certainly has existed and does exist in our systems however, I do not believe that reverse racism by praxis is in any way a rightful or constructive solution. We have resolved racist practices from the days of slavery to civil rights for all to witnessing the first minority president and have institutions in place to resolve or prevent current or future practices of racism. We can continue to resolve any future issues through constructive methods and elimination of classist policies.

I was raised catholic, but do not practice any form of organized religion. My personal beliefs or spirituality are my personal business and should have no bearing in my performance of representing the people of my district.
