Question 1 of 19

How do your beliefs influence the decisions you make?

I seek a higher power for every decision I make.

My spiritual beliefs are just some of the many factors I consider when making decisions.

My spiritual beliefs do not influence the decisions I make.

I don't believe in God, therefore I make my decisions based on factors other than spiritual ones.

Question 3 of 19

What is your attitude towards the institution of marriage?

Marriage has always been between a man and a woman and it should remain that way.

While I don't support gay marriage, I am comfortable with domestic partnerships.

If two people love one another they should be allowed to marry, regardless of sexual orientation.

Question 4 of 19

How do you feel about abortion?

Abortion is necessary as a form of population control.

No one should be able to tell a woman what she can or can't do with her body.

I support a woman's right to choose, but I oppose partial-birth and late term abortions.

I personally oppose abortion, but I also believe it should be legal. Government should stay out of it.

Abortion should be illegal except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.

Abortion is murder and should be illegal, period.

Question 5 of 19

Which of the following describes your feelings about immigration?

Illegal immigrants should be kept out! They destroy a nation's culture and heritage.

Immigration should be tightly controlled, but we should grant amnesty to everyone who's already here.

Immigrants need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

A nation should be lenient, rather than strict, when it comes to immigration.

Throw open the borders! History shows that more diversity only strengthens a nation.

Question 6 of 19

How do you feel about gun control?

The government should have no say in what weapons I can or can’t own.

Only certain kinds of firearms, such as assault rifles and concealed weapons, should be banned.

While I support the 'right to bear arms,' we need stricter gun laws, not more lenient ones.

Only those in authority should have access to firearms.

Question 8 of 19

Which of the following best describes your opinion on health care?

Government has absolutely no role in the health care industry. It should be completely privatized.

While the health care industy is fundamentally broken, totally free, government-run health care is not the solution.

Free, quality health care is a basic human right!

Question 10 of 19

How would you prefer the government approach budgeting?

The government shouldn't be allowed to spend more money than it collects.

There must be moderation in both spending and borrowing.

A nation must meet the needs of its people, even if that means borrowing money to do so.

Question 11 of 19

Which of the following best describes your feelings on taxes?

Get rid of income tax already! It's as simple as that.

The rich should shoulder most of the tax burden and the poor should pay significantly less.

Reduce everyone's taxes! When a nation's citizens are taxed less, it stimulates the economy and job growth.

Things would work better if the government received all revenue and then paid everyone according to their need.

Question 13 of 19

What is your attitude towards the environment and climate change?

If you got it, drill for it. There's no reason to let natural resources go to waste.

Climate change isn't being caused by human activity, but we still need to find alternative energy sources.

Climate change is definitely our fault, but sacrificing our economy to correct it isn't the answer.

For our children's sake, we must protect the planet from ourselves at all costs.

Question 14 of 19

Which of the following describes your feelings about local vs. central government?

I feel safest when the central government is in control of everything.

Local government obviously knows best on local issues, while the central government should handle the laws that affect everyone.

The central government should only deal with national security and foreign policy. Let local government handle everything else!

Question 15 of 19

What should the balance be between national security and personal privacy?

The government must do whatever is necessary to ensure the safety of its people.

The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens…within reason.

My personal privacy is more important than anything.

Question 16 of 19

How involved should the government be with business?

Successful companies benefit everyone! They shouldn't have their hands tied by the government.

Some government regulation of business is required in order to protect the consumer and the environment.

If left to their own devices, the rich simply get richer and the poor get poorer, so government needs to put a tight leash on business.

Question 18 of 19

How involved should the government be with other nations?

The government really has no business sticking its nose into other nations' affairs.

We should only help other countries if they can help us.

We need to solve our own problems before we can help others.

The world's problems are everyone's problems! The more power a country has, the more responsibility it has to the world.

What about trade?

We must protect our nation's jobs and industry from foreign competition.

Free trade benefits us as long as the government regulates it.

Global free trade is good for everyone.
