ok too many to hash out here, but for starters there needs to be major tax reform, including property, income

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
leaning towards disagreeing

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

with the exception of state actors providing critical services affecting fundamental rights and health

temporarily if there is a legitimate bomb threat or imminent danger (from white supremacist etc) to the church; or if the pastor/clergy has been indicted or a number of verified complaints of molesting children or underage people and or church patrons
HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.

d

under NO circumstances; i will ban vaccinations and pursue criminal fraud etc against those pushing vaccines. i will also ban immunomodulating and suppressing pesticides and other synthetic toxins from sale, distribution and entry into our food and water supply
NATIONAL SECURITY
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.
Choose not to answer
i would have to research the current state of affairs more to issue a policy statement on this issue

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

probably so

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

l
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
but take "legal" out of the first statement and this will remove governmental grounds for interference
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
i dont know all that much about what critical race theory claims but just because some institutions or people may have been racist in the past does not mean they are still inherently racist in the present. this seems like a categorical unfair bias .

My Spirit gives me life and comes from my Father, aka God. We all have God in our hearts. God is Love. Accordingly, all men are brothers in Christ, and all women are Sisters in Christ.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Elections should be publicly funded with a cap on spending; this would do away with a lot of corruption and uneven/unfair elections by the state
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
domestic security....perhaps to some people it may be, but overall i think it is sensationalized by the media and not a major problem as it once was

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
B) Stricter environmental laws and/or cleaner energy development is necessary to safeguard our health and that of our children. Its not only the vaccines and engineered viruses threatening our chidren, its the myriad of chemicals they are putting into our food, air and water supply. Most people may not even be aware of the extent. I have an extensive background in health & environmental law, science, etc
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
