Do you support "The Speaker Project" from the organization No Labels, a proposal to change several House rules with the intent of encouraging bipartisan cooperation? (Learn more at https://www.nolabels.org/the-speaker-project/)
"Bipartisan claimed as an exceptional accomplishment just shows we have serious operator error with those in DC right now. There should be changes. Detailed on my site on Designing a Better Election Process. For starters, have matching committees. Let the tie go to the runner and have laws with no clear majority passage in committee go to the floor for debate and voting on. The way it was before recent Congresses starting using nuclear options."

Should Congress create a path to citizenship for illegal/undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children?
"We have no limit on the size of America's population. If that we so we would be debating a China like one child policy. The issue with immigration is that Congress has not matched supply to demand. If all those seeking life in the US were being properly and promptly processed we would have no immigration crisis. It is white nationalist fears that are driving current policy and the human rights violations are now being recognized by the world and concerned and caring citizens. We can do much better."

Should the federal government ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation, with exceptions for cases of rape/incest and health complications?
"Abortion has been banned. Has not stopped it, only sees more mothers, sisters and daughters dying in unregulated ways. The solution would likely be found in having both sides of the issue agree to work to make all pregnancies, as much as possible, WANTED ONES. Details on how on my site."

Should the federal government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?

Do you generally support higher tariffs on imports from countries such as China, where we have a large trade deficit?
"A trade deficit is just an indication that home based industries need to up their game. The dlow will reverse when automated factories produce lower cost goods then imports with lower labor costs are are currently doing. As there is no real limit on money there is no danger of us running out from doing business overseas. Its about cash flow. The same dollars can make millionaires of many people when they are being circulated constantly."

Should the federal government limit certain firearm purchases to residents over age twenty-one?
"Gun registration and control is really always at the state and local levels. The government has to adjust the Prohibition Laws that outlawed automatic weaponry to account for the current abilities of modern firearms. Prohibition never works. But reasonable regulation should. We demand standards on all other devices that by design or misuse can harm someone."

Should the U.S. build a physical wall between Mexico and the U.S.?
"There is ni danger on our borders from mothers and their babies. Not comparable to what a nuclear armed foe could do by loading nukes in old freighters and setting them off outside all our ports. We would have no idea who to retaliate against. Spend $25 to $40 billion on upping the Navy, Ciast Guard and Intel Services. The few threats that cross the border are an enhanced law enforcement solution."
