Kirsten, again.

Probably banging my head against a brick wall, but...

September Priorities Survey

Which of the following issues are you most concerned about?

Affordable health care

Immigration

A strong economy

Our democracy

X All of the above 

 

Are there any other issues on your mind?

I need a federal government that follows the Constitution, is limited by law, and truly supports American values.

I need immigrants to do as my grandparents did - apply to come here legally and then integrate into American society.

A strong economy will follow a debt-free federal government with minimal taxes and regulations, and vigorous prosecution of those who flaunt federal anti-trust, price-fixing, and conspiracy laws - like health care organizations, doctors, hospitals, insurance and drug companies.

We have a representative republic, not a democracy. Stop saying that.

Are you concerned that the Republican Congress will take us backward on the issues you care about? 

 

X Yes, I’m concerned that the Republican Congress is taking us backward on important issues.

No, I trust the Republican Congress to move us forward on the issues I care about. 

(What can one say?  Jugearscare must go!)

President Trump decided to end DACA, which leaves nearly 700,000 young people who were brought to the United States as children at risk of deportation from the only home many of them have ever known. Is it important to take action and create a path to citizenship for these children and young adults?

Yes, we must create a path to citizenship for the 700,000 DACA recipients who came to this country as young children.

X No, we should let these young people face deportation.

 (Their parents made the decision to violate our laws - the children's misery is the direct result of that.)

President Trump chose to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement despite the dire threat climate change poses to our health, our security and our economy. Are you worried about the Trump administration’s climate denial?

Yes, I’m worried that climate change will get worse due to inaction.

X No, it’s fine to ignore climate change. 

(Show me proof man has the power to override the Sun's effect...)

 

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has proposed cutting $9.2 billion from the federal education budget and has rolled back protections for student loan borrowers. Are you worried about DeVos’s ideological agenda?

Yes, I’m worried about DeVos’s ideological agenda.

X No, I’m not worried about DeVos’s ideological agenda. 

 

(Let's use charged language, shall we? The federal government has no business having a Department of Education in the first place, let alone anything to do with student loans.)

 

 How important is it to you to support Democrats who will fight for our fundamental values in Washington?

Extremely important

Very important

Somewhat important

X Not at all important 

(Yet she still sends me these emails...)
