Disagree

Women have autonomy over their bodies and a woman's life takes priority over a fetus. Once a baby is born, the baby must be protected and cared for. Infant mortality and maternal mortality rates are too high. Too many babies die due to lack of healthcare and nutrition.

Women have autonomy over their bodies. Physician and the woman must agree based on the situation.

Strongly Agree

Complete women's healthcare is critical so any group able to provide the needed medical care particularly in a region where there is limited options should be supported by the federal government. We can save more babies by providing resources during pregnancies and after birth.

Strongly Disagree

The Comstock act of 1873 is outdated in today's society and should be repealed.

Strongly Agree

Our wonderful country has been developed through free enterprise by creative Americans and immigrants. Owning a business, land and intellectual property is a wonderful feeling.

Agree

We need to define what the effective tax rate is and implement it. Having a complex tax system adds fraud and government incurs unnecessary cost. There should be a lower level on the income scale where working people are not taxed.

Strongly Agree

Our interest payment is more than our military spend. The interest on the bonds to cover the debt affects the interest rate of our car loans, mortgages, business loans, etc. Taxes could be greatly reduced if the budget was under control. The budget is also affected by the rate of healthcare costs through Medicare and Medicaid.

Simplify the tax code. Put Inspector Generals back in place. Update computers and software systems. Eliminate old laws.

Strongly Disagree

Everyone has a right to their beliefs however just like protesting there could be a price to be paid. You may not be able to have certain jobs and you may lose customers. If you work in a government job or take government money, you should understand you respect the law and others beliefs.

The state runs the government for all individuals with our country. The government does not have a national religion nor is to operate in a manner that promotes any religion. The government should not fund religious organizations unless they provide a service for the people. Religious groups should set the moral tone for the country and should be involved in electing people with good moral character.

B. The federal government should fund preventive healthcare which provides a based income for medical facilities in rural and urban areas and will reduce the cost of healthcare over time. People without employer paid healthcare need options that can only be provided by the government. Medicaid and Medicare need optimized for them to stay viable.

Strongly Disagree

I do not want the government collecting or tracking data on me. It's against my libertarian beliefs.

C. The US has many other options than war to enforce our influence. We have food, petroleum, technology, consumers, education, healthcare, and other items that we can use to get countries to do what we want and to protect ourselves. We only need wars to defend ourselves.

Strongly Agree

We do not have a focused effort. Politicians are more concerned about getting theirs and not enough on the needs of the country. Due to lack of focus and specific military spending, we have fallen behind in missile systems, drones, etc. Regarding economic threats, our threat is internally due to the budget and infighting.

The relationship is important but a moral code must be understood. The tail should wag the dog.

Agree

As a Christian nation we will always be a target. We must be wise with our dealings with the Islamic influenced countries. Each our different and should be treated as such. Our behavior has aggravated the situation. We should not wait to intervene like we did in the past, but should be America first.

I would continue doing thorough background checks. I see immigration as an opportunity that many countries don't have. Those that come must become citizens and maintain a job; otherwise they should be deported. Our history shows how immigrants grow our economy and how they are willing to sacrifice for their new country. Those that sacrificed for us in another country should be allowed to come. We must do better with the criminals that manage to come in and out of this country.

Disagree

We have laws that need to be enforced. Congress needs to develop a better immigration policy and have buy in from all levels of government.

Strongly Disagree

Local communities have control now. The DoE needs to be optimized and streamlined because they are essentially passing money out. Their research and training arms are critical. Politicians need stop attaching political strings with the government money don't take it and drive real estate taxes lower.

Neutral

Depends upon the country and the disclosure of the funding. Collaboration could be a really good.

Neutral

Please define child. Parents should always have control over their children.

Neutral

Marriage is dependent upon churches. Unions and recognition of marriages is up to the government.

Disagree

Each state should have a simple robust system of verifying who is voting. Voter rolls are always a mess because addresses, contact information, etc. are rarely updated or verified. Even a photo id does say where you are currently living or qualified to vote.

All energy sources are critical. Our refineries need updated to process our crude so we are independent of other petroleum sources. Wind and solar are vital particularly for rural communities that incur transmission costs.

No

We need to protect people from sexual exploitation. This means electing people more good moral character.

Based on amount of rules and use of guns, Texas seems to have found a balance of having restrictions, enforcement and liberty to own guns.
