| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| But I support political reform more so worrying about money is not the solution. I believe we should vote for IDEAL not LABLE, all political points of view should be aired via media, ballot designation, statement & access should be free. I campaign with virtually NO donations. Many state businesses profit greatly doing little for us, [like DMV's, & bridge toll collections] the least they can do for us is let us know what our choses are & paying for the voter costs | |||
| Yes | Do you support capital punishment for certain crimes? | ||
| Yes | Do you support alternatives to incarceration for certain non-violent offenders such as mandatory counseling or substance abuse treatment? | ||
| No | Do you support mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenders? | ||
| I believe most prisoners are not guilty of crimes CONSTITUTIONALLY wrong. I think our leaders make rules they don't suffer from for us to go to prison for & make huge money destroying our lives instead of PROFITTING from putting everyone to work restoring our Earth & Inhabitants Tiny Mendocino county gives $7 million judicial, $9 million sheriff & jail, $1.5 million phone & canteen profit, $20 million from Gov. Brown's illegal AB 109, $3.5 billion new prisons & maximum security pods voted against by voters, with virtually 3 violent offenders monthly decent jobs would obliterate. | |||
| Yes | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support providing tax incentives to businesses for the purpose of job creation? | ||
| 3 of my 5 simple changes to save Earth & Inhabitants 1. money now wasted on taxpayer's NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS [defense, space research, charity to other countries, unneeded building] should be diverted to employing people restoring our Earth. 2. For increased tax base charge one cent state, federal, county every dollar transaction instead of current form of collection. 3.Give business landowners deductions, exemptions only for percentage money spent employing people restoring our Earth & Inhabitants, growing marijuana everywhere, STOP GLOBAL WARMING & THE NEED FOR WAR. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring states to implement education reforms in order to be eligible for competitive federal grants? | ||
| 2oo8 a Berkeley professor claimed internationally they knew NO solution to global warming, they that created missiles, bombs. I don't want to pay for that kind of education. We need to educate people to feelings of self worth learning what they are interested in instead of what the school forces them to know. SUMMERHILL theory. Love themselves, save Earth & Inhabitants. | |||
| No | Do you support building the Keystone XL pipeline? | ||
| Yes | Do you support funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increased regulations on the hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") industry? | ||
| Solar, wind, thermal energy wastes land, uses toxic batteries, will never supply enough energy or any oxygen needed for clean air, food, water & water supply. We need to PROFIT hugely from spending taxpayer's money only on restoring Earth & Inhabitants growing marijuana everywhere as substitute for current source of gasoline, nuclear, coal, hydro energy, an entire house with incinerator toilet, all fossil fuel, lumber products, clean air, food, water, local unemployment, failing economy, environment, social security, healthcare. STOP GLOBAL WARMING & THE NEED FOR WAR. | |||
| Yes | Do you believe that human activity is contributing to climate change? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Absolutely! We should spend taxpayer's money ONLY on restoring Earth & Inhabitants, PROFITTING from growing marijuana everywhere as substitute for all it's uses. We pay hugely for everything from birthing, educations, taxes for courthouses, prisons & jails, jobs, land, vehicles, funerals, bridge tolls for unneeded highways & bridges & get not even clean air in return. It's time the big guys pay us back for this torture by PROFITTING from putting everybody to work with the national debt money we've given them, $15 an hour, 30 hour workweek, $300 monthly living stipend equals $27,000 yearly, less then jail or prison. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| Starting with NO MORE WAR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. Divert money now wasted on taxpayer's NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, [defense, space research, charity to other countries, unneeded building, prisons, highways, sports arenas, convention centers, skyscrapers] to employing people restoring Earth & Inhabitants growing marijuana everywhere for all it's uses, creating happy consuming taxpayer's & the crime & gun problem will disappear. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| We should divert defense spending to single payer health care, our big ugly hospitals with their big ugly machines to small personal hands on naturalistic, homeopathic local clinic that promote healing instead of depression & illness. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| Before we send them home we should bring all our troops & large Earth destroying corporations back to the USA & let them resume whatever culture they practiced before we came there. otherwise, we need all the workers we can get restoring our Earth & Inhabitants here growing marijuana for all it's uses in land & water wasting vineyards, symbiotically with all other produce like, olive & almond orchards to preserve disappearing water, with hay & corn on the plains, employment not imprisonment or deportation. | |||
| Yes | Do you support same-sex marriage? | ||
| Marriage like abortion are personal issues our government has no business addressing. Like regulating Marijuana. We need to center in on creating happy people, stopping poverty, unemployment, ugly courthouses, prisons & jails, destroying our Earth & Inhabitants with clearcutting forests, unneeded highways, bridges, skyscrapers, STOP GLOBAL WARMING & THE NEED FOR WAR. | |||
| No | Do you support targeting suspected terrorists outside of official theaters of conflict? | ||
| No | Should the U.S use military force in order to prevent governments hostile to the United States from possessing a nuclear weapon? | ||
| I think we should spend our taxpayer's money on restoring Earth here & if we intrude on other countries issues it should be to help them restore their land there. We gather more bees with honey then vinegar, our bees & friends are disappearing, it's time to make a change before our Earth disappears' | |||
| Yes | Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts? | ||
| They should at least have that one freedom since we get no other freedoms. | |||

| I would use our tax money to benefit people & world inhabitants instead of destroying Earth for .01% profit. We shouldn't have to pay income taxes for having a job, or huge interest, bank rates, taxes for purchasing land, vehicles, huge fees for education, insurances, prisons & jails that NONE of us benefit from. Welfare would be a moot question if good wages, benefits, social services were substituted for warfare & Earthly destruction. | |||
| For increased tax base charge one cent state federal, county every dollar transaction instead of current form of collection everybody pays their fair share. Corporations, banks etc that profit from taxpayer's money through the national debt should pay us back by employing people restoring Earth & Inhabitants, profiting from growing marijuana everywhere for all it's uses. | |||
| To convince our rich & leaders they can PROFIT more from employing people restoring our Earth & Inhabitants growing marijuana everywhere for all it's uses instead of destroying it. We should divert taxpayer's money now wasted on Taxpayer's NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS [defense, space research, charity to other countries, unneeded building] to fighting poverty unemployment, homelessness, better healthcare, social security, all people's needs. |
