Unknown Position | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||

I support everyone's right to spend their own time and money to encourage or discourage abortion. I oppose using taxpayer money to encourage or discourage abortion. |
No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce wasteful spending. |
Unknown Position | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
|

Current law already limits contributions by corporations and unions. The US Supreme Court held that freedom of speech and press lets corporations and unions independent expenditures. |

|
|||
Current law provides government officials with qualified immunity. |

Democrats and Republicans believe that politicians and bureaucrats in Washington can run government schools better than people in each state. I don't. |

I support current US Supreme Court decisions on the right to keep and bare arms. |
