Georgia Congressional Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Federal Government has helped execute over 70 million babies. We would save more babies if we decentralized the power to the states. I will support decentralized power in the case of infanticide. | |||
| 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? | ||
| SS and Medicare are ponzi schemes forced on the American people. Neither has one cent in the account. Borrowing on the backs of future generations only enslaves our posterity. It's long past time that these socialist ponzi schemes go extinct and return the right of the people to seek investment for health and retirement where they see fit. | |||
| No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| If you have money, give it to your neighbors and local businesses. I have contended for this approach in 2020 because it's the right thing to do, and it ensures I will never be bought for a vote. | |||
| No | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| No, those charged with making, upholding and judging of law should face double the sentences when they break the law. End qualified immunity, civil asset forfeiture, end the drug war, end police militarization, end no knock raids and end domestic spying along with 22k unconstitutional gun laws. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| As a Marine combat vet i will bring our troops home once and for all. WAR IS A RACKET. The enemy of Americans is Washington DC. | |||
| 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? | ||
| No | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| You have the right to life liberty and property. You also have a right to your rights. Government at every level has stripped Americans of their rights to conduct business, work, trade, travel and barter all covered by the 9th Amendment. I support decentralization of DC & the State to local governments where people are actually held to account for violating peoples rights. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| America's biggest mistake was allowing government to indoctrinate children. Lets call it what it is, compulsory government indoctrination youth camps. Time to decentralize education and return that right to the people. It is the right of the parent to educate their children the way they determine. | |||
| 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? | ||
| The government being the largest polluters on earth should never have been allowed any control over the environment. Per art 1.8.17 they are allocated the 10sq/m of DC, forts, ports & magazines. All other control over land and their environments should be decentralized to the states and the people where it belongs. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| 22k guns laws have only criminalized law abiding citizens and made it harder people to defend themselves, their loved ones and their property. All gun laws are unconstitutional, moreover people have the right to self preservation regardless of what the government says. It is literally the first law of nature. | |||
| 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? | ||
| No. That's Fascism definition, a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism I will support decentralizing and freeing the insurance & health industries from the death grip of government/corporate cabals. | |||
| No | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| The American immigration and naturalization is broken because it is bastardized. Per art 1.8.4 the federal government only has power over naturalization not immigration. I will support decentralization to the states for immigration, and I will support a complete overhaul of the naturalization process. | |||
| No | 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? | ||
| As a Marine combat vet I can tell you from first hand experience that the last 19 years have been a boondoggle for the military industrial complex at the expense of the great men and women that serve in the armed forces. WAR IS A RACKET! | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| Free people do not ask permission to trade with others. Nor do they pay for that right. | |||
| End the Wars End the Fed End the Empire My mission will be to decentralize everything I can to return rights to the people and reserved powers to the states. DC is the swamp and is a clear and present danger to the people of America. I am here to unite America in Liberty by restoring their rights and powers to govern locally. What do you say Georgia? Are you done being ruled by the aristocratic cabals in DC? I sure as hell am. Give me liberty or give me death! ShaneHazel.com t:shanethazel fb:shanehazelga RadicalPod.com YT: shanehazel1 |
