This questionnaire was from the American
Association of University Women.
The questions seem reasonable but remember this is a general
questionnaire not tailored to the office of U.S. Senate. Some issues
are difficult to reconcile with the U.S. Constitution. For
example:
Question 1. (Will you support strong enforcement of Title IX) Yes, as
Abraham Lincoln stated, we should support our laws by not breaking
them. However enforcement is the perview of the Executive
branch
of government, not the Legislative branch.
Question 2. (Will you support increased federal funding for
education?) No, control and funding go hand in hand.
The
money comes from taxes. The federal government should leave
the
money with the taxpayers, so the local government can tax it and apply
it according to local needs. One size fits none (does anyone
remember 'no child left behind').
Question 3. (School vouchers) This is a local (i.e. not
federal)
issue. If your community wants to do this, you should have
the
option.
Question 9. (Will you support only fair jurist) Is interesting.
If we could tell good from bad, voter's would have chosen
better
representatives and I wouldn't feel obligated to run. Of
course I
will do my best and listen to Nevadans in all matters.
Anyway, here is the questionnaire.
