General Survey

Issue Title	Candidate's Answers
1. Abortion is a woman's unrestricted right	Strongly Oppose Abortion is immoral and should be absolutely restricted, because it kills a human being. And abortion clinics are illegal.

3. Marijuana is a gateway drug
4. Higher taxes on the wealthy	Oppose A Flat Tax is a good idea. It would simplify the entire tax system and get rid of loopholes that drive tax-avoiding behaviors.
5. Stimulus better than market-led recovery	Strongly Support The federal government should intervene in the economy and inject as much funding as needed to recover from the Great Recession, including direct federal job creation.
