Re: Where do you stand?
I'm taking a few out, because I either don't have as much of an opinion, or I don't know as much about it.
Abortion - Legal. If you don't want to get it done, then don't.
Civil Rights - Everyone should be EQUAL. Therefore, no one gets anything special based on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. There should be severe penalties for anyone who attempts to do that.
Defense - I think there should be more spending on specific R&D, such as making more economical military systems, so that there would be less expense involved while keeping the power the military needs.
Drugs - Legalize marajuana, tax it like cigarettes.
Education - Spend more to try and allow every student the chance to succeed by providing them with better resources. However, make most of the money come from state and local governments.
Families & Gay Marriage - Just take the word "marrage" out of the government. Let gays have the same rights as "married" couples when it comes to the government.
Foreign Policy - Try and do more to help ourselves. This may be a global community, but that doesn't mean we should do what others want if it hurts us.
Gun Control - Do not allow any type of fully-automatic weapon. Allow anyone to own and carry a gun, as long as they are licensed and attend a gun-safety course, and are not a convicted felon.
Immigration - Let anyone in who wants to come in legally. Anyone who trys to come illegally should be deported immediately.
Welfare - Allow supervised welfare: you get your check every week after meeting with a social worker who monitors your job search. If you don't go, you don't get your money. After a certain time, if you haven't been looking for a job you are cut off.
That's a pretty rough outline on those subjects. Don't have a lot of time to go too deep.
