Will you vote for or against a law that requires the corporate executive to contribute, out of his compensation, to any fines levied against the corporation?

This would result in some personal exposure and cause the corporate executive to have downside. As it is now the corporation has the exposure and the executive has no financial exposure. How many people would robe a bank if they had no downside because someone else would do the time.

Will you vote for or against a law requiring the member of congress to publish each earmark they have attached to each piece of legislation prior to voting on that legislation?

These representatives are spending our money therefore that spending shuold be out in the sunshine.

Would you vote yes or no to repeal the 17th Amendment giving authority back to the each state legislators to appoint their representatives to the federal government?

Essentially, each state government has given up their representation to the 'populous vote' since the ratification of the 17th amendment. The House of Representatives was originally designed to represent the 'people' and the Senate was designed to represent the 'states'. This amendment was passed under the Woodrow Wilson era... enough said.

At the risk of loading up the questionnaire I must recommend several new questions after watching that hideous spectacle called the State Of The Union address last evening. I have never seen so much arrogance and lying displayed from a President at a SOTU in my entire life. Not only did the President not concede any ground but went on to insult Americans for not understanding that his intentions are designed to help. So, Mr. President, we are all stupid? In addition, the President BOLDLY exclaimed he was going around the Congress by using an executive order to create a commission. Of course, he then went on to chastise the Supreme Court. Oh my God!!!

Not worded in question format:

We should consider the question about the authority to issue executive orders that, IMO, clearly gives the executive branch an advantage over the ‘so-called’ equal branches of government.

We should also consider a question concerning impeachable offenses.

The court system including the Supreme Court should prioritize Constitutional Law over Case Law.

I believe that the questions posted by seawasp, on page one, should be considered.

Essentially we as GOOOH supporters are encouraging deadlocks. That is a good thing as I see it. Hell, at least we can stop the government monster from growing even more.

Would you vote for legislation or a constitutional amendment declaring corporate entities are not persons and do not have the constitutional rights of persons?

I realized that a politician could easily work around this by refusing to declare candidacy but touring the US making a spectacle of himself/herself, so I wish to modify the last submitted question:
Would you vote for or against a law prohibiting a representative in office A from running for office B for the length of time of (no. allowed terms for office A + 1) times the term length for office A? This is to prevent a representative from campaigning rather than representing his or her constituents.

Some comments and questions @ your list:
1. Will you vote for or against a bill to require students to finish school through the 12th grade, not allowing them to drop school, unless they have reached the age of 18, joined the military, or has an extreme family hardship requiring them to work, and to bring back truant officers to enforce this rule?What about kids going to trade schools instead of traditional schools? Many kids waste the time they spend in high school and if they were in a trade school they would probably work harder and achieve the knowledge they need to get a job. What about kids who make poor grades or who are suspended. How are these kids going to be dealt with?
The no child left behind act needs to be based in reality. Judging a child with learning disabilities with the same ruler you judge a child with higher then average intelligence is wrong.
Parents need to have the right to decide if they want they child who has "ADD" to be treated with drugs that we don't even know the long term effects of. How many Albert Einstein's have we destroyed because we refuse to allow kids any differences?
Teachers need to be evaluated on their ability to teach but to punish them because they are not allowed to control their students is wrong too. We need common sense back in the schools.
Parents need to put school first and make sure their kids come to school prepared to learn. Kids need to do their homework and a parent that complains in front of the child that there's too much homework is setting that kid up for failure. The kids need to be told this is their job. I think the school day should be lengthened and PT added back in (as well as all the extras such as band, choir, drama, etc). We need to go to the European model of schooling. Not every kid can or should go to college. Some would be better off going to a trade school or a apprenticeship program. And we shouldn't have to pay for our kids to go to Sylvan to help them be better students. Teachers should be versed in the techniques Sylvan uses so our kids are able to compete in the world market. Perhaps we could fire some of the chiefs we have and take away some of their perks. I think our school system is top heavy and should be trimmed.

2. Will you vote for or against a bill to ban special interest lobbyists? Do you mean all lobbyists? This is what I'd like to see. And those politicians who accept money from groups are not allowed to vote on bills that impact those groups and I thought the "joke" of making them wear suits that list their sponsors was actually a good idea. If our elected officials are going to whores then we should get to know who is paying them.

3. Will you vote for or against a bill to reduce frivolous lawsuits, including malpractice lawsuits? Why do you believe that malpractice lawsuits are frivolous? As someone trapped in the work comp system in which I can't sue any doctor inspite of the fact their treatments crippled me. I live in pain each day (so much so that I'm on a high dose of pain meds and will never be able to work again) yet these "doctors" (they are actually whores for the insurance companies) can do what ever they want without any chance they will be held accountable. Malpractice lawsuits cost less then 1% of the total costs of medicine. People should have the right to go to court. Frivolous would be the lady who put hot coffee in her lap in a moving vehicle and then sued McDonalds and now all of us are sentenced to drinking warm, not hot coffee.

4. Will you vote for or against a bill to eliminate the government budgeting policy of “use or lose”? Government agencies frivolously spend billions of dollars at the end of each budget year because they are afraid they will lose what they have not spent and are afraid that their budget will be cut by the same amount the following year. Great question. Budgets need to be based on reality.

5. Will you vote for or against a bill to eliminate drug, sexual item, and lawyer advertising from television, as it used to be? This way parents will not have to explain what ED is to their kids, doctors wont get bugged by their patients to prescribe certain drugs, and will bring back some respect back to the legal field.
I'd like to see these ads removed because medication should be between you and your doctor. I'm not sure why you want to remove the attorney ads. Maybe they could be limited. Also any ads should have to put in LARGE PRINT the stuff they put in small print and shipping/handling charges should be also posted.

6. Will you vote for or against a bill to bring back the truth in advertising law, and eliminate the need for the fast scrolling “fine print” that you can’t even read on TV or listen to on the radio? Great point. And the ads shouldn't be louder then the show. And all stations need to have the same level of loudness.

7. Will you vote for or against a bill to provide incentives to businesses to keep jobs from going overseas? Good point but we also need to look at laws that punish small businesses like the lead law (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/Anti-lead-law-causes-small-business-devastation-40390497.html ) and put them out of business with unreasonable rules. Especially when the businesses that caused the problem were in CHINA. I'd also like to see tariffs put on goods so that the playing field is level. We need to take back the incentives that rewarded companies who outsourced jobs.

8. Will you vote for or against a bill to put more regulation on credit bureaus providing fairness to the consumer? Not just credit bureaus but the credit card companies who have raise interest rates on monies you already borrowed at another rate.
9. Will you vote for or against a bill to bring back parent’s rights to parent their children? To vague. Are you going to allow parents to beat their kids? What is ok to use in disciplining your kids?

10. Will you vote for or against a bill to put a cap on medical malpractice lawsuits? Why should there be a cap? If a doctor knowingly harms someone they should have to cover the cost of the damage. But by the same token we need courts that understand the difference between malpractice and something that is an act of God. A doctor treats someone on the side of the road and the person is paralyzed shouldn't be sued as there are conditions beyond his control but if a doctor treats you after he's had a few and you're paralyzed then he should be accountable. Also doctors need to quit protecting BAD doctors.

Here are some of my questions:

1. Will they support changes in our health care system? Would they support insurance companies being made into limit profit or no profit companies. This would lower costs by 30% - 60%. A single form should be introduced and all insurance companies and medical professionals should have to use it. This could lower costs by 20% or more. We need more GP's not specialists. Perhaps we should set up college payments for those willing to become GPs.

2. Will they support Single Item bills?

3. What is their stance on illegal aliens? Will they vote against bills that give more illegal aliens free citizenship? Will they also support a bill that would hold accountable those that were given free citizenship the last time. There were conditions they were supposed to meet and haven't such as learning English. These people need to be checked up on and if they haven't met those conditions they need to be thrown out. This whole illegal alien situation could be easily dealt with. We declare all illegal aliens terrorists and give them a week to get out. If they don't leave they are arrested and tried then if found guilty fingerprinted photographed a history taken and they are deported. If caught a 2nd time they go to jail. Those of you who insist they are innocents being persecuted need to understand that these people are criminals who have broken the law and compromise our border safety. If an illegal can get in don't you think a terrorist can also get in. One of he leaders of a Latin American country has said he is helping terrorist pass for Latin Americans so they can come into our country. Calling an illegal alien and undocumented worked is like calling a bank robbery an undocumented withdrawal. Both are illegal and the persons committing the act are CRIMINALS.
4. Will they support bills that do not give citizenship to babies born in this country of illegals? We are the only nation that does this. I believe that children born of these criminals should not be rewarded with citizenship as their being born here is the result of a criminal act. And before someone paints me as a bigot, I'm part Hispanic and I'm tired of people breaking the law and getting a free ride. My grand parents on my Dad's side immigrated legally and my so did my mother. So I'm a child of immigrants. The difference is my family followed the rules. We need to fix the immigration system so those coming here to work can be processed quickly but they will also have to work at the jobs they came here for. No more taking the jobs legal citizens have by undercutting the wages. The picture people paint of the illegal only doing the jobs legal citizens won't do is no longer true. Just look at some of the "good" jobs where illegals have destroyed wages.

5. Will they support an overhaul of our tax system? The tax system we have is complicated and the rich really do have an advantage over the poor. If we got rid of the tax system and replaced it with the fair tax people would pay their fair share, we wouldn't waste money on the forms and the IRS could be downsized (they could be moved to immigration).

6. What is their stance on Veterans? Do they support the rights of veterans? Veterans were promised certain things when we enlisted yet those promises have not been honored. There needs to be a fairer system for compensation of injuries to veterans. Right now the system takes a long time to get benefits to those injured veterans and many suddenly have preexisting conditions (found after they were injured)that prevent them from getting compensation. Also veterans can not take advantage of marijuana treatments in states where it's legal even if their VA doctor thinks it will help them. Veterans are now charged an $8 co-pay and forced to pay for 3 months of a med upfront. I can't tell you then bottles of medication I have setting that I can't use because I had problems with the meds, yet I had to pay $24 for. Many of us vets don't get all the meds we need because of the costs. There were supposed to be NO copay for vets , then it was $2.00, then it was $4, then $7 and now $8

7. Will the candidate support single item bills. I believe this would cut down on pork because a bill would have to fly on it's own merit.

8. Do they support an overhaul of our campaign system? Politicians should not be allowed to waste millions for a job that only pays $158,000 a year. Automatic raises (ie right now they have to vote against a raise) need to be deleted. WE the taxpayers should determine the wages they are paid and if they whine that they can make more in private practice then let them go there. They should remember they are supposed to be public servants not genteel rich.

8. Will they open the books of the companies we bailed out to the public and demand an itemized list of their expenditures? How much of our tax dollars were spent on gold toilets?

9. Will they support the rights of citizens to determine the direction of our country?

10. Will they support taking government out of the marriage business. The simple solution to this entire gay marriage issue is give marriage back to the religious organizations. Everyone one else wanting to be together and have legal rights that marriage now gives would be issued a partnership. Man/Woman, Man/Man, Woman/Woman and what ever other types of partnerships we decide (such as polygamy) we can support would all be given partnership rather then marriage. Those that want to be married would go to a religious organization for this.

The big question is what are we, the citizens willing to do? Our political system needs to be changed. We need to take our country back and stop all the bs that robs our children of their futures. Our kids deserve to have a country in which they will be able to earn a living. Unless we have manufacturing jobs this will not happen. Not everyone can be a computer geek. Everyone needs to be able to earn a living. Are we willing to take our lazy behinds out of the Lazyboy and take time out of watching American Idol and actually research politicians and vote intelligently?
