Some of your questions are vague (e.g. what does campaign finance reform mean?). Other questions are too complex for a yes / no answer (e.g., abolish the IRS - the country needs some kind of tax collection agency but I still voted YES because the IRS has become too political). I voted for the answer closest to my opinion.
