>
>3. 8-6-97  The influx of Chinese imports have created a U.S. trade

>
>5. 8-08-97  The Framers of the Constitution believed that serving in

>and a reasonable per diem fee while in session, instead of a salary 
>and pension? Results:  YES=93%  NO=7%
>
>6. 8-11&12-97  In the latest Budget, Congress apparently gave 
>approval to President Clinton to negotiate an expansion of NAFTA.  A 
>negotiated expansion, according to the latest Budget Bill, will then 
>be voted on by Congress with a "fast track" yes or no vote and no 
>debate.  Do you think Congress should vote to defeat any expansion of 
>NAFTA?  Results: YES=95%  NO=5%
>
>7. 8-13-97  Reportedly, U.S. armed forces are based in approximately

>and which prohibits consecutive re-election?  Results: YES=79%  
>NO=21%
>
>10. 8-20-97  Over 2 years ago the President told the Congress and the

>year. Do you think that Congress should stop the funding for U.S. 
>troops in Bosnia?  Results: YES=100%  NO=0%
>
>11. 8-21-97  In 1979 there were approximately 11 federal law 
>enforcement agencies. Today, 18 years later, there are 32 such 
>executive branch agencies with over 60,000 armed agents, 
>collectively. Most of these agencies have trained "swat teams", 
>members of which wear black ski masks, black ninja-like clothing, and 
>black boots. They are armed with sophisticated automatic weapons and 
>sniper rifles, and they are primarily trained to kill. Do you believe 
>that Congress should refuse to fund 32 federal law enforcement 
>agencies and 60,000 armed federal agents?  Results: YES=100%  NO=0%
>
>12. 8-22-97  Should Congress pass a law which allows terminally ill 
>patients the right to choose any alternative or experimental drug, 
>therapy, treatment or procedure?  Results: YES=86%  NO=14%
>

>contributions by individuals and corporations to any federal office 
>candidate to $1,000 or less, and which prohibits pac contributions?  
>Results: YES=93%  NO=7%
>
>14. 8-26-97  The Constitution identifies only 4 federal crimes.  In 
>Article I Section 8, it says Congress shall have the power "To 
>provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and 
>current coin of the United States...To define and punish Piracies and 
>Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of 
>Nations."  In Article III, Treason is listed.  Article III also 
>requires that the Trial of all crimes be held in the State where the 
>crimes were committed.  The constitution does not provide for the 
>establishment of any federal law enforcement agencies.  Article VI 
>states that all executive state officers shall be bound by Oath or 
>Affirmation to support the Constitution.  Thus, such officers (ie., 
>Sheriffs) have constitutional authority to enforce the aforementioned 
>federal crimes.  Should Congress repeal all federal criminal laws not 
>specifically provided for in the constitution and abolish all federal 
>law enforcement agencies?  Results: YES=88%  NO=12%
>
>15. 8-27-97  Should Congress act quickly and impeach all elected

>and 1996?  Results: YES=99%  NO=1%

>manner, regulates the Internet?  Results: YES=91%  NO=9%
>
>17. 8-29-97  Recently, the United States Supreme Court ruled part of

>and bear Arms," should Congress repeal the Brady gun law?  Results: 
>YES=98%  NO=2%
>
>18. 9-2-97  There is a growing belief in the United States that 
>voting fraud at the ballot box is a major problem that is enhanced by 
>the use of mechanical voting machines and computers.  Should Congress 
>pass a law requiring that all federal elections be conducted by paper 
>ballots, which must be manually counted and certified at the polling 
>place before being released to any other authorities?  Results: 
>YES=86%  NO=14%
>
>19. 9-3-97  Should Congress live up to the Republican Contract with

>effectively canceling such programs as "Goals 2000" and "Outcome 
>Based Education"?  Results: YES=98%  NO=2%
>
>20. 9-4-97  A Bill has been introduced in Congress (H.R. 2369), which

>21. 9-5-97  Congress in August & September of 1996 passed into law, 
>Public Law 104-193 (Welfare Reform law) and 104-208 (Immigration 
>Reform Law).  Most provisions of these laws become effective and 
>operational October 1, 1997.  Together these laws specifically 
>provide for the identification, tracking, and locating of all 
>American citizens through the use of a newly developed integrated 
>information system of state and federal computers and databases. 
>Besides names and addresses, the social security number is to be used 
>to identify all citizens contained within the system.  Provision is 
>also made, by over broad generic type legal wording, for biometric 
>information (i.e., fingerprints) to be added to the databases, when 
>required by rules passed by the agencies involved in enforcing the 
>laws.  Additionally, the laws require that the following information 
>be added to the databases for regular and periodic, and on-demand 
>cross-matching of names, addresses and social security numbers (when 
>lacking, social security numbers must now be added to the following 
>information): all birth & death certificates; all passports; all 
>newly hired employees by all employers; all driver licenses; all 
>occupational, vocational, and recreational licenses (i.e., doctors, 
>lawyers, electricians, barbers, boats, off-road vehicles, hunting & 
>fishing licenses); all child support & alimony court orders; all 
>financial institution accounts (bank, credit union, savings & loan, 
>and stock brokerages); and all recipient accounts of any state or 
>federal benefit program. The databases are to be accessible to many 
>federal, state and local county agencies.  Public law 104-193 
>requires that all financial accounts be checked by the system every 
>90 days. Public Law 104-208 provides for a national ID card by the 
>year 2000.  Question: Should Congress repeal these laws?  Results: 
>YES=98%  NO=2%
>
>22. 9-8-97  Several bills have recently been introduced in Congress 
>that would eliminate or restrict American citizens' right to own or 
>possess handguns, rifles, and shotguns.  The 2nd Amendment to the 
>Constitution of the United States says that, "the right of the people 
>to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".  All Senators and 
>Representatives, pursuant to Article VI of the Constitution, are 
>bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support the Constitution.  Should 
>any Member of Congress who votes in favor of eliminating or 
>restricting the right to own or possess firearms be impeached for 
>violating his "Oath of Office" to support the Constitution? Results: 
>YES=98%  NO=2%
>
>23. 9-9-97  Should Congress pass a law that requires that every 
>legislative act introduced contain a statement which specifically 
>states the Constitutional authority or provision(s) that supports the 
>proposed legislation?  Results: YES=96%  NO=4%
>
>24. 9-10-97  The Clinton Administration is pushing for legislation 
>that would require privacy software manufacturers to provide the FBI 
>with "trap door" decryption keys.  Should Congress pass legislation 
>that would require privacy software manufacturers to provide the FBI 
>or any other government agency with decryption keys?  Results: YES=0%  
>NO=100%
>
>25. 9-11-97  Clinton administration officials are considering 
>legislation that would allow law enforcement officers to gain broad 
>access to patients' medical records, with hardly any restrictions on 
>use or redisclosure of the information.  The 4th Amendment guarantees 
>the Right against unreasonable searches and seizures; the 5th 
>Amendment guarantees the Right against self incrimination; and the 
>Supreme Court has interpreted the 5th and 14th Amendments as 
>guaranteeing the Right to privacy.  In light of these Constitutional 
>Rights, should Congress pass legislation which would allow law 
>enforcement officers access to a patient's medical records before 
>such officials notified the patient and obtained a judicial order 
>pursuant to a court hearing, in which it was determined that the 
>patient's Constitutional Rights would not be violated?  Results: 
>YES=2%  NO=98%
>
>26. 9-12-97  Should Congress vote to give the President the power to 
>negotiate trade agreements that are executed pursuant to a "fast 
>track" protocol, whereby it does not debate or make changes to an 
>agreement but only votes "yes" or "no" with respect to an agreement, 
>thus delegating to the President its authority and responsibility to 
>make the laws of the United States, under Article I of the 
>Constitution?   Results: YES=1%  NO=99%
>
>27. 9-15-97  Do you believe Congress should initiate impeachment 
>proceedings against President Clinton and Vice President Gore for 
>campaign finance violations?  Results: YES=95%  NO=5%
>
>28. 9-16-97  Janet Reno was appointed Attorney General by President 
>Clinton.  As the highest law enforcement officer in the Nation, she 
>was bound by "Oath" to support the Constitution and Laws of the 
>United States.  In Light of an obvious conflict of interest, should 
>Congress impeach Janet Reno for obstructing the due administration of 
>justice, which is grounded upon her failure and apparent refusal to 
>appoint an Independent Counsel to investigate campaign finance 
>violations?  Results: YES=98%  NO=2%
>
>29. 9-17-97  Many professional pilots and other workers in the 
>airline industry, as well as frequent flyers, believe the Nation's 
>air traffic control system needs substantial improvement.  Do you 
>think Congress should treat this matter as a priority item and 
>appropriate the necessary funds so that the FAA can install and 
>maintain a state-of-the-art air traffic control system nationwide?  
>Results: YES=82%  NO=18%
>
>30. 9-18-97  Under the Constitution, Congress is supposed to make the 
>laws, and the President is supposed to "take Care that the Laws be 
>faithfully executed."  Since 1933, Congress has ignored this 
>separation of powers and has allowed Presidents to issue Executive 
>Orders with regard to various matters.  Executive Orders essentially 
>have the same impact as if they were laws passed by Congress.  Should 
>Congress restore the separation of powers concept, as mandated by the 
>Constitution, and repeal all laws which give the President authority 
>to issue and enforce Executive Orders?  Results: YES=99%  NO=1%
>
>31. 9-19-97  Should Congress include an automatic date of expiration 
>in all laws passed, which does not exceed 5 years?  Results: YES=78%  
>NO=22%
>
>32. 9-22-97  Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) has introduced a Bill in 
>Congress, H.R. 1146, named THE AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY RESTORATION ACT 
>OF 1997.  If passed, as introduced, H.R. 1146 would require the 
>complete withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and 
>would essentially end United States participation in U.N. activities.  
>Should Congress vote to pass H.R. 1146, as introduced, and thus vote 
>to end the United States' participation in the United Nations?  
>Results: YES=93%  NO=7%
>
>33. 9-23-97  Should Congress increase the minimum age for a person to 
>be able to qualify for social security benefits?  Results: YES=11%  
>NO=89%
>
>34. 9-24-97  James Madison, one of the Framers of the Constitution, 
>strongly advocated that the three branches of the federal government 
>be completely separated.  He emphasized and discussed this doctrine, 
>as incorporated into the Constitution, in "The Federalist Papers", 
>(#51).  With respect to the Judicial Branch, the president of the 
>Florida Bar Association, in a 1994 publication, stated that Lawyers 
>were "Officers of the Court" and, like judges, were an "integral part 
>of the Judiciary." QUESTION: Should Congress impeach and remove all 
>Members of Congress who are also lawyers and members of the Bar 
>Association, on the grounds that such Members have violated their 
>Oath or Affirmation to support the Constitution, since being both a 
>member of the Judicial and legislative branches violates the 
>Constitution's "Separation of Powers Doctrine?"   Results: YES=98%  
>NO=2%
>
>35. 9-25-97  A National ID card is a document that reasonably 
>identifies a person and indicates that person's country of 
>citizenship. Public Law 104-208 was passed by Congress on September

>Bill of Rights, Congress said: "The conventions of a number of the 
>States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, 
>expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of 
>its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should 
>be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the 
>Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution."  
>The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States sets forth 
>one of those declaratory and restrictive clauses and says that, "the 
>right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".  
>Notwithstanding this Constitutional guarantee President Clinton, last 
>week, issued an Executive Order which banned the importation of 
>certain semi-automatic firearms.  QUESTION: Should Congress pass 
>legislation which overrides President Clinton's Executive Order that 
>banned the importation of the targeted semi-automatic firearms?  
>Results: Yes=51%  No=49%

>58. 11-24-97  Do you think Congress should abolish the income tax?

>59. 11-25-97  America's increasing energy consumption, and reliance 
>on Arab oil production, in light of the present Iraq situation and 
>continuing Isaeli/Arab conflicts, raises concerns with respect to 
>fulfillment of its future energy needs.  QUESTION: To adequately 
>prepare for America's future energy needs should Congress make, by 
>appropriate legislation, research and development of non-nuclear, 
>non-petroleum alternative energy sources, national priorities?  
>Results: Yes=80%  No=20%
