There's been a mix-up, and the RNC thinks I am a registered Republican because I get to vote in the Republican primary (note: in my county, we don't have democrats running for any local offices, so all elections are done with the republican primary). I received a questionaire from the RNC marked "Republican Party Census Document" Form RNC-2006. The questions are quite... fascinating.
Domestic and International Security
- Do you support President Bush's initiatives to promote the safety and security of all Americans?
- Do you support the use of air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on American?
- Do you continue to support increasing the amount of security at airports, train stations and all government buildings including monuments and museums?
More fascinating questions below the fold!
Economic issues:
- Should the Inheritance or "Death Tax" be permanently repealed?
- Do you support President Bush's pro-growth policies to create more jobs and improve the economy?
- Do you think Congress should focus on cutting the federal budget deficit by reducing wasteful government spending?
Education Issues:
- Do you support President Bush's plan to make our schools more accountable to parents and to restore local control of education?
- Should students, teachers, principals and administrators be held to higher standards?
- DO you agree that teaching our children to read and increasing literacy rates should be a priority?
Social Issues:
- Do you support President Bush's initiative to allow private religious and charitable groups to do more to help those in need?
- Do you support the law, passed by the Republican Congress and signed by President Bush, that bans partial-birth abortions?
- Do you support the President's efforts to save Social Security for future generations?
- Do you think Congress should pass legislation on the Federal Marriage Amendments?
Defense Issues:
- Do you think U.S. troops should have to serve under United Nations' commanders?
- Do you agree that our top military priority should be fighting terrorists?
- Should the U.S. continue work on building a defense shield against nuclear missle attack?
Republican Party (note from me: read this one CAREFULLY):
1) Do you support the election of Republican candidates across the country and rebuilding our majorities over the next ten years?
Given that the RNC wants 11 bucks from me to process my answers, I don't know that me sending this wonderful survey back in will help, although I am hoping that posting their questions here might do some good.
Excuse me, I need to go wash my hands after typing that all out.
