>NO=21%
>
>10. 8-20-97 Over 2 years ago the President told the Congress and the

>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%

>14. 8-26-97 The Constitution identifies only 4 federal crimes. In

>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
>federal officials who accepted illegal campaign contributions in 1994
>and 1996? Results: YES=99% NO=1%

>of freedom of speech and the right of the people peaceably to
>assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,
>should Congress refrain from passing any law which, in any way or
>manner, regulates the Internet? Results: YES=91% NO=9%
>
>17. 8-29-97 Recently, the United States Supreme Court ruled part of

>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
>America of 1994, and abolish the Department of Education, thus
>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
>would make it unlawful for the public (including amateur radio
>operators) to possess and listen to scanner and short-wave radio's.
>Should Congress pass this Bill and make it law? Results: YES=2%
>NO=98%
>
>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
>30, 1996. Section 657 of that law, titled "DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOTYPE
>OF COUNTERFEIT-RESISTANT SOCIAL SECURITY CARD" (now found and buried
>only as a note approximately 25 pages following the main body text of
>Title 42 Sec. 405 of the United States Code), states: "(a)
>Development-- (1) In general.--The Commissioner of Social Security
>(in this section referred to as the "Commissioner") shall, in
>accordance with the provisions of this section, develop a prototype
>of a counterfeit-resistant social security card. Such prototype
>card-- (A) shall be made of a durable, tamper-resistant material such
>as plastic or polyester; (B) shall employ technologies that provide
>security features, such as magnetic stripes, holograms, and
>integrated circuits; and (C) shall be developed so as to provide
>individuals with reliable proof of citizenship"... QUESTION: Do you
>believe, based on the wording of Section 657 of Public Law 104-208,
>quoted above, that Congress has passed a law which directs the
>development of a National ID Card? Results: YES=95% NO=5%
>
>36. 9-26-97 This question is closely related and is a sequel to
>yesterday's question. 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
>30, 1996. Section 657 of that law, titled "DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOTYPE

>believe that Section 657 of Public Law 104-208, quoted above,
>provides for the establishment of a National ID Card and, further,
>that Congress should repeal the law, immediately? Results: YES=96%
>NO=4%
>
>37. 9-29-97 Many Public laws, or parts thereof, passed by Congress
>are difficult to find because they are placed as Notes following the
>main text of a particular statute section in the United States Code
>(appearing in small print and often positioned many pages past the
>main text of the statute), which is composed of 50 separate Titles.
>Because of this practice many laws of important consequence go
>unnoticed by the public. QUESTION: Should Congress pass a law which
>requires that an enacted Public Law, and all parts thereof, be placed
>within the main text of the proper code section of the United States
>Code? Results: YES=100% NO=0%
>
>38. 9-30-97 Should Congress continue to pass laws which make it

>42. 10-17-97 SUBJECT: Vitamins By Prescription. The GATT agreement,
>as enforced by the World Trade Organization (WTO), requires that
>Federal & State laws be made to harmonize with the laws of other
>countries that signed the agreement. Several participating
>countries, like Germany, allow the use of vitamins, minerals, and
>food supplements only by a doctor's prescription. A German
>pharmaceutical company has filed a complaint with the WTO to force
>the United States to likewise require a doctor's prescription for
>such health foods. Additionally, the House of Representatives and the
>Senate have recently passed separate versions of legislation (H.R.
>1411 & S.830) which, by way of Food & Drug Administration
>regulations, would make, if a joint conference committee report is
>adopted, vitamins, minerals, and food supplements, prescription
>items. QUESTION: Should Congress pass a law which requires that you

>22,1997, Congressman Bill Archer (R-TX), announced his collaboration
>with President Clinton to bring out of committee a legislative Bill
>to "fix" the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Archer openly admitted
>that he was aware that Americans would say NO to just "fixing" the
>I.R.S. Speaker Gingrich appeared on the same program and advocated
>the total abolishment of the I.R.S. QUESTION: In light of these
>congressmen's statements and the recent testimony before the Senate
>of gross I.R.S. abuses, should Congress vote immediately to abolish
>the Internal Revenue Service? Results: Yes=93% No=7%
>
>45. 10-27-97 The Senate placed a time limit on Senator Thompson's
>committee, which is investigating campaign finance violations. On
>Sunday, October 26, 1997, Senator Thompson, on national TV, stated

>Results: Yes=63% No=37%
>
>48. 11-04-97 Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) has introduced a Bill in
>Congress (H.R. 1146) to provide for the complete withdrawal of the
>United States from the United Nations. Some States and Counties have
>already passed resolutions calling for Congress to terminate the
>United States' participation in the United Nations. QUESTION: Should

>52. 11-11-97 Many important laws passed by Congress are enacted on
>merely a voice vote. In such cases the vote by individual members of
>Congress is not recorded. Accordingly, holding any member of Congress
>accountable for his or her vote on a particular Senate Bill or House
>Resolution is difficult, because there is no documentary proof of how
>he or she voted. QUESTION: Should Congress pass a resolution which
>requires that all voting on proposed legislation be by recorded Roll
>Call vote? Results: YES=95% NO=5%
>
>53. 11-12-97 Several possible tax reform schemes may be considered

>57. 11-21-97 In the Preamble to the resolution offering the proposed
>Bill of Rights, Congress said: "The conventions of a number of the

>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

>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".
