Under no circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed, with the understanding an elective abortion is unrelated to the life and health of the mother.

Strongly Agree

In severe health and life threatening situations for mother and or child, any drugs should meet essential safety standards in order to potentially alleviate any additional risk to health

Agree

On the rare occasion when the life and health of the mother is at risk, and the means to pay for medical needs are not possible by the mother, then there may be considerations for a safety net. On the same token, we are discussing grave matters of life and death of a human being, regardless of whether it may the mother or the child.

Disagree

I support the right of an individual to choose their own medical decisions in terms of care. However, I do not support direct assisted suicide and or euthanasia.

Strongly Agree

The fact that America strives on free enterprise and entrepreneurship, is in fact the embodiment of not only our economic progress and innovation to date, but also the very fabric of the attitudes of independence of which our Constitution emboldens individual thought, creativity and innovation.

Everyone should be entitled to a fair wage. However, there could be unintended consequences when government interferes between people of free agency and thought, which is also inclusive of the employer. We also have to consider the employer as well

No

ESG data could be subjective and vary significantly between different agencies. Also, the quality of the ESG data itself may not always be completely reliable nor available. The overall investment return and ESG data is always typically not always not universally agreed upon either. We must also consider overall implementation and administrative cost relative to the return.

I believe in the separation of church and state, which is rooted in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Therefore, by way of freedom of religion, churches should be able to make their own decisions.

Strongly Disagree

Individuals and businesses have started their businesses to exercise and practice not only their right to free enterprise , but to also establish and grow the business which they feel is best. It is thus, the decision and domain of the business owner to make the decisions which they deem best, as a practice of their personal liberties and rights as entrepreneurs.

I would most likely align myself with Option C. We by al means need to provide essential medical services for those in need but in parallel regulating government further intervention as well as maintaining fiscal responsibility is conducive to creating a balance. Caring for our vulnerable populations who require the necessary and required medical attention and care is our responsibility. Maintaining fiscal responsibility and limiting government and could help to foster private sector options.

In the United States, the Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) affirmed the power of states to mandate vaccination laws, in the interests of broad public safety. The imminent threat to public safety must of course be evident

Agree

I would like to emphasize here that this is true as it relates to the Chinese Community Party and not to people of mainland China as a whole. Many native Chinese and Chinese Americans strongly disagree and oppose policies of the Chinese Community Party. It is important for us to embrace all cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds which share and advocate for our common democratic principles and policies.

Our relationship with Israel is important because firstly, we exist as strategic, geo political partners as relates to intelligence and defense in the Middle East, from potential threats. e are trade partners, exchanging technology and information, maintaining economic ties. We are also maintain shared democratic values, being partners of law, human rights, and a commitment to democratic governance. Finally, we have strong cultural ties, as the US is representative of our Jewish communities.

Agree

As the son of Korean immigrants, I am thankful to my country the United States for giving us the opportunity to make our lives here. However, I do believe we can do more to secure the southern border. Firstly, national border laws have been implemented because they could represent national security concerns. Second, there is the question of public safety and health. Next economic regulation is vital and necessary to manage as we prioritize work for our citizens and legal immigrants.

Strongly Agree

By doing so will empower parental choice, in terms of parents maintaining educational choice and flexibility. And I believe when parents are empowered, they then too will take greater ownership and more engaged in their child's education. From the school's perspective, this gives them an incentive to enhance accountability as well as innovation and foster these qualities. Schools, faced with the loss of potential students, could be motivated to initiate reform, thus improving overall quality.

Strongly Agree

Children are vulnerable and typically depend on adults. Hence it is vital to ensure their protection and safeguard them from any potential practices which could harm them physically, emotionally and or mentally, particularly when the proper and adequate expertise may not be present. I believe it is the parents primary responsibility to safeguard their children from practices and beliefs which could prove harmful to the child. Parents maintain the right to guide their children's upbringing

Strongly Agree

Parents maintain the right to make decisions for their minor children as well as be responsible for their children's overall upbringing and education. In addition, parents should be fully informed and involved in their children's discussions and decisions. Also, there are moral implications and I believe that parents maintain the right to delay certain discussions until it may be more age appropriate. Appropriate age informed consent age is also of utmost importance, in order to validate.

Disagree

Taxpayers hold diverse beliefs. Mandating such services, may conflict with these varied ideals and values. Moreover, more outreaching consensus must be reached before tax dollars are appropriated for same services. Regulatory challenges could arise, including the potential for abuse and fraud of such services with the possibility of funds misuse and oversight. A more holistic approach should be considered as well including addressing the overall mental health and overall well-being .

Strongly Agree

My father was a pastor and ironically it was because of this, that I actually rejected the existence of God for a good part of my life. I was the rebellious eldest son and Pastor's kid : ) In my adulthood, I went through many ups and downs in my life and although myself and my family went to church all of our lives, serving tirelessly as church volunteers, I realized I was just through the routine because this was the life that grew up with and was accustomed to. All the while, I began to realize that it was not by our works and deeds that God loved us. We could never earn salvation through our deeds. But rather, our salvation is given by the Grace of God purely out of his love for us. And this is why he sent his son to pay for debt

Strongly Disagree

We should take all measures to prevent any prospective voter fraud as well as safeguarding ourselves against potential multiple votes. Maintaining accuracy and integrity of the vote is key. Also photo identification aids in assurance of verification of citizenship as well as integrity and accuracy of residency. Photo ID's can also potentially preclude any voter coercion and or intimidation tactics. In addition, ID's helps to promote free and fair elections as well as overall voter integrity.

Disagree

Preserving the Electoral College is a fundamental tenet of the US Constitution and so therefore should be preserved under the understanding that our government should abide by the Constitution. The Electoral College was implemented to uphold the protection of minority rights and for those in smaller states, as larger communities may weigh an unfair advantage. It also provides a stable and predictable framework from which to determine a voting system which adheres with the Constitution

As a target of direct cultural racism in my youth, I understand first hand how the effects of "being considered an outcast" as an Korean immigrant in this country, can have an effect on a person's self-esteem and overall well-being and self-esteem. Direct and systemic racism is by all means harmful, fostering distrust and division among communities. Racism can incite anger, fear and mistrust which can also lead to and manifest in further division, civil unrest, harm and even violence.

Agree

As a Korean American immigrant, I maintain the benefit of being bi-cultural. And it is because of this, that I myself can see disparities as it relates to certain constructs in our society, which may be deeply rooted, to create inequalities based on race. By addressing this systemic racism, only then can we begin to make necessary reform to advocate for grater racial equality and ultimately promoting greater equity. Creating balanced and non-biased institutions, should be our common goal.

Strongly Agree

Biological males are typically more physically adept purely from a scientific standpoint, and hence, this raises the question of fairness as well as a level playing field of sport. Creating an unfair environment in competitive sport then, not only will decrease the overall competitiveness of the sport, but also potentially decrease drive and morale overall. In addition biological males participating in women's sports and sharing the same rooms, creates drangerous safety and privacy concerns.

I would most align myself most with option C. We all desire a safe, healthy and habitable planet in which to live and which our next generation can have a home to inherent, live and grow without environmental hazard. However, stricter environmental laws enforced by government could deter continued economic development and thus continued job growth and innovation. It could lead to augmented dependence on foreign energy as well as exacerbate opportunities to develop domestic viable alternatives

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power have become increasingly popular because they are abundant, sustainable, and their costs have declined steadily. These could potentially become relevant alternative sources

No.

No.

The purpose of government is the protection of natural rights of an individual including life, liberty and property. Government exists to protect the public welfare and to provide an environment conducive to the prosperity of society as a whole. Limited government intervention and favoring policies which support entrepreneurship and innovation should be prioritized. Government also exists to ensure law and order, protection of private property, as well as overall fiscal responsibility

Lean Conservative

Disagree

This is under the understanding that budgets for police departments have been allocated for necessary reasons. The reduction in overall police force and public safety personal overall, has led also to a proportionate increase in crime over the years in our area. As law enforcement personal and resources decrease the formula for crime entails a reciprocal increase in kind. Our budgets should not be depleted from our police force if it means an overall reduction in the workforce.

I believe in an individual's right to bear arms as per the second amendment. However, I state with the understanding that certain measures are in place to ensure the criteria and minimum qualifications for gun ownership have been adhered to. These minimum requirements include a universal background check which is designed to preclude any unnecessary criminal risk. I believe in a cool off period, in order to potentially preclude any impulsive actions. Also mental health screenings are vital.

No

Although of course we want to create the safest environment for our children to the best of our ability, I do not believe that this is the answer to alleviate gun violence in schools. This could lead to potentially more fear in schools as well as the possibility for greater violence and or accidents. Teaching teachers to use guns, could also distract their time, focus and attention away from being primary educators, knowing that they may also have a dual duty to protect and shoot if necessary
