Section 1: Social Issues
Pro-Life / Pro-Choice?
Life is too important for abortion to ever be legal.
Abortions should be rare but laws must strike a balance to reflect a full range of patient needs.
A woman's right to choose should be a matter between her and her physician.
Education
Teachers Unions have ruined education in the US and must be weakened.
Our long-term economic success depends greatly on the quality of our public education system.
Our kids' teachers must be given the resources they need to succeed.
Health Care
Healthcare is a universal right, and should be provided for Americans by the government.
Health insurance should be a private matter -- personal, portable and market driven.
Healthcare in the US needs to continue to be overhauled.
Guns
Who really needs to own a machine gun in the US today? Renew the assault weapons ban.
This is an issue best left to the states. But, careful criminal and mental health background checks are reasonable safety measures.
The Second Amendment unequivocally guarantees my right to own and carry firearms.
Social Security & Medicare
I have and will pay into these programs my entire working life, and am entitled to receive those funds back in my retirement.
The numbers show that these systems are broken, and may not be around for our children and grandchildren. We should preserve what we have, but find a new way forward that competes in the modern era.
The US should get with the rest of the world in grasping reality and minimizing entitlements by working on a private sector solution to this long-term problem.
