Wyoming Congressional Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I believe we need to protect our unborn children. | |||
| 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? | ||
| until we have a balanced budget, we must be looking at the entire Budget. We need to have responsible spending, and not rip off the American people because of our legislators mishandling of our money. SSI Is not an entitled program. We pay into if our whole life. It should not be a slush fund for legislators to tuch. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| No candidate should be able to bye an election. There should be a spending limit to show how responsible candidates are with money. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| We have a strong military. We need to use our military wisely, and not get stuck in forever wars. Diplomacy before War always, and if we need to send in our troops we go in to destroy or seek surrender. Our military is not sent in to hand out teddy bares and rainbow stickers. War is not unicorn farts and candy. It is a ugly horrific thing that we should do everything in our power to avoid. We also can not be afraid to use it, if necessary in last resort. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| TO A POINT! this SCAMdemic is being used to control the people. Unelected officials are controlling people's lives. THE CURE CANT BE WORSE THAN THE SICKNESS!!! The people need to be able to work and live there lives. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| It is not the federal governments job. The feds can give guidelines and broad strokes. Standard Math, English, Reading and writing cursive, life skills. this is broad enough to give States the ability to allow there school Districts to advance their curriculum. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Scaring people into submission is getting old. California was to be under water by 2020. Here we are and it is still ubov the ocean. I dont think the American peoples money should be wasted on boondoggles. If someone thinks it is needed to be looked into rase your own money open a 501c3 and don't waste the money of the American people. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| Only gun control we need is, proper trigger control, proper berthing, and hitting your target. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| If we ever have something like this again we can not go iff of perfection. The country needs strong leadership that dose not send fear to control the people. THE CURE CAN'T BE WORSE THAN THE SICKNESS!!! | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| if not a physical barrier we need an electronic one. If someone can't seem to fallow a simple law to come in legal why would I believe they would obey our bigger laws. We have people coming to our country legally, and wanting citizenship. If the people came legally they need to be allowed all the opportunity available before those who illegally came in. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| I will say it again. DIPLOMACY BEFORE WAR. If we need to use our military they go in wipe out enemy and exit. No need to do a long occupation. War is a messy nasty thing. No more sending our troops to get killed as they are told to hand out teddy bars and rainbow stickers. War is not unicorn facts and candy. War is death and destruction. We should only use it as last resort. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| If there is a fair trade agreement. We need to focus more on U.S. manufacturers, and getting American made back to being the pride if ownership. | |||
| National debt is number 1. We need to look at 100% of the budget and cut spending where it is not a necessity. V.A. overhaul is number 2. Until the V.A. that is welcoming to veterans rather than another fight this system needs some massive attention. SSI overhaul is number 3. We pay into this program. It needs to be turned into an endowment program. With penalty of minimum of loss if office for touching it. Then we can start to move forward, and bring the system back to what it was intended to be. |
