Equality:
What is your plan to protect businesses / creators (artists / musicians / etc.) from being forced to cater to the LGBTQ community? Especially if it violates their rights / beliefs. Example: Bakery refuses to make a wedding cake for lesbian couple.
What is your plan to encourage legitimate reporting of harassment / sexual harassment / rape by women / LGBTQ community?
What is your plan to create a national holiday / monument honoring non-blacks who fought for / died to free slaves / achieve equal rights?
What is your plan to create a national holiday for Halloween / Yule? Officially acknowledging Paganism / those who practice. Especially since Christmas and other Christian holidays stole from Paganism.
Do you support transgender males participating in female sports?
Do you believe certain groups (lgbtq / black / etc.) attempt to force their agenda on others. Even though it may be interfering with rights of those who don’t agree.
What is your plan to eliminate office closures for holidays on Sundays / federal offices closed on Monday? Example: Easter
Do you believe certain groups (lgbtq / black / etc.) attempt to force their agenda on others? Even though it may be interfering with rights of those who don’t agree.
Everyone uses the word Equality when it is to their benefit only. How, in your non-political life do you support the true / real definition?
General:
Do you accept campaign contributions from special interest groups? Including: unions / organized labor / supremist groups (regardless of race / cause).
Do you use public transportation? Examples: Lanta bus (local). Martz / Fullington Trailways (Philadelphia). Trans Bridge (New York City).
How do you plan to convince the majority your ideas / plans are in the best interest for population?
If a vote included topics that go against your beliefs / values, would you compromise? Example: Abortion.
Do you support legalization of recreational use marijuana? Reasons?
Again, reality check: no drug is completely safe. How would you offset any increases in traffic violations / accidents / increases in healthcare costs for non-users / increases in employee absence due to marijuana use?
Do you support legalization of prostitution? Reasons?
Attack campaigns / ads: Is your campaign running any attack ads? Example: Main ad focus pointing out one negative aspect of your opponent. Do you support organizations that run attack ads?
Abortion:
What is your stance on abortion? Against / support / depends on circumstances?
What rights does a father have when a woman decides to have one? Provided the father can take care of the child / has legitimate reasons.
Do you believe the government has a right to control what we do with our bodies male or female? Example: mandatory vaccinations for school children.
Violence / Crime / Gun Control:
Reality check: Strictest gun control laws in the universe will not help. Take away guns people use knives (NYC prime example). What is your plan to reduce violence in general?
What is your plan to reduce number of illegal weapons on the streets?
I survived a violent crime in 2010. Committed by a man and woman high on marijuana. What is your plan to increase penalties for violent criminals?
Do you believe non-violent offenders should be in prison? Example: Theft where a weapon is not used.
Medical Costs:
There is another side not being mentioned. How do you plan to reduce costs on the business side? Examples: Gas prices increase / Cost of ambulance operation increases. Medical Malpractice insurance increase / doctors pay more. Cost of research / new technologies, especially during the pandemic. Staff wage increases.
Homeless:
I lived on the streets in 2 states. Providing housing is a great concept. Without income, a person is back on the street. What is your plan to provide housing on the condition of employment within a reasonable amount of time? Example: tax breaks to employers, especially small businesses.
There is a difference between a homeless person and street garbage. Example: Homeless will gladly take any form of work you offer (busing tables / landscaping / etc.). Street garbage only wants money without working. Would a screening process work to provide housing / employment?
Suicide Prevention:
Have you attended / volunteered for a Suicide Prevention Walk (Community / Overnight)?
What is your plan to increase awareness?
Like other aspects of life, especially violence, suicide prevention is a complex puzzle. Reasons are almost limitless (mental health, final breaking point, death of a loved one, etc.). Ideas on how to lower risks / suicides?
Illegal Immigration:
What is your plan to increase in funding / resources to ICE?
Do you support sanctuary cities / states
What are numbers / percentages: sex trafficking / drugs / illegal guns coming across the southern border?
Reality check: Due to terrain / cost, complete border wall would be impossible. What is your plan to reduce illegal immigration?
What is your plan to increase penalties for companies / employers hiring illegal immigrants?
The argument has been made: Illegal immigrants do jobs U.S. citizens will not. Could a program be created making mandatory for homeless people to do those jobs? Examples: work on farms / clean streets. In exchange for housing / living expenses.
Media (Corporate / Mainstream / Independent):
What is your plan to hold the media accountable for misinformation / false information? Covid / pandemic perfect example.
Unions / Organized Labor:
Do you support unions / organized labor?
Seriously, unions had a place in our country. Early to mid-1900’s. Do you believe, at times, they act like domestic terrorists? Example: transportation union: if you don’t meet our demands / compromise we will strike. Causing non-union workers / general public disruption in lives / work.
Do you support companies not allowing unions?
Minimum Wage:
It was not created to be a living wage. Now, most people have forgotten those reasons. Do you support the minimum wage at $15 / hour? Especially since most companies already at least that amount. Examples: Wawa / warehouses.
Do you believe the increase will be offset by price increases?
What is your plan to create a living wage? Considering the term minimum is incorrectly used.
