  2. The big bang created the universe and humans came into existence through a natural process of evolution from simpler life forms over millions of years.

  7. Abortion is wrong and the gov. should make them illegal for all women and doctors.

  10. The death penalty is wrong and should not be a punishment for any crime in America.
  11. People who live in homes with a gun are safer than those who live in homes without.
  12. Too many guns and a lack of gun regulations make this country less safe, and I want restriction put on gun ownership, including background checks, and limits on the most deadly guns and limits on how many bullets a gun clip can legally hold.
  13. Marijuana should be legal for recreational use.
  14. Black Americans regularly face discrimination and abuse from police in America for no fault of their own, but because of widespread racism among society and police officers.
  15. The US gov. should spend a lot more than it does on programs that help Native Americans living in the US to make up for what was done to them historically and how poor many of them still are.
  16. Racism was a problem in the US years ago, but it is not anymore.
  17. We need further gov. action to protect women from discrimination and to ensure that women are paid as much as men who do the same work.
  18. Undocumented immigrants do more harm than good in America, so they should be deported, and further immigration should be sharply limited.
  19. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are working and contributing to society and therefore should be given some form of legal status and a path to becoming citizens. Immigrants have always made this nation stronger.
  20. Most people who have substantial wealth in the US have not really earned that wealth. More often they got their wealth through inheritance or the advantages and connections that were handed to them or they were born into.
  21. Most of the poor in this country are poor because they lack motivation and/or they have made bad decisions in their lives. Those who work hard and make good decisions, will get out of poverty. The poor mostly have themselves to blame.
  22. Pre-school should be made available for free to all Americans, even if it means higher taxes

  29. Climate change is real, it is caused by human activity and industry, and our government should act boldly even if the actions cost money and slow economic growth in the short run.
  30. The Environmental Protection Agency is corrupt and creates pointless, over-burdensome regulations. Its funding and mandate should be cut.
  31. The rich should pay higher taxes to pay for programs that help the poorer people.
  32. Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. The gov. should institute laws and programs to ensure that all Americans have health coverage. Single prayer or public healthcare systems are the fairest and most efficient.
  33. All food should be be grown organically and GMOS should be banned from the food supply.
  34. In order to deal with our nation's problems, the President should be given more power and have fewer restrictions placed on him by Congress or the Supreme Court.

  36. In order to protect the majority of the population in a dangerous world, sometimes we must deny criminals, foreigners, and terrorists some constitutional rights.

  39. We live in a society with rigid class divisions, and the wealth dominate our politics.

  44. US military spending should be cut significantly.
  45. America has a special place in the world above other nations and should use its military power to promote its ideals and interests abroad.
  46. Because modern weaponry is so destructive, America needs to be less quick to use military force and more willing to use diplomacy in solving international problems.
