Concerned Women for America

Concerned Women for America Survey What Women Want Leading Into the 2012 Election  Concerned Women for America – the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization – is conducting this nationwide survey to assess the priorities of America’s women heading into the November 2012 election. Specifically, what are women asking of and demanding from the candidates. Polling shows that women voters provided the crucial difference during the 2010 election -- a stunning 14-point swing accounted for more votes than the total G.O.P. margin of victory nationwide. Concerned Women for America’s new “What Women Want” Survey seeks to answer the question of what the women who decided the last election want as we rapidly approach the 2012 election. Already being called the most important election of our time, the 2012 election will soon be upon us. That’s why we are eager for you to fill out this brief survey as your personal statement of your priorities and desires for the 2012 election and beyond. Survey results will be publicly reported. NOTE: THIS SURVEY IS DESIGEND TO REPORT THE PRIORITIES OF WOMEN HEADING INTO THE 2012 ELECTION AND IS EXCLUSIVE TO WOMEN ONLY. SECTION ONE: MY CURRENT LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT Did you vote in the last election? (select one)   Yes   No Describe your political party preference? (select one)   I am a strong Republican   I generally vote Republican   I am an Independent   I generally vote Democrat   I am a strong Democrat   Other Describe your political orientation: (select one)   I am a strong Conservative   I generally support Conservative ideals   I am a Moderate   I generally support Liberal ideals   I am a strong Liberal   Other If you are a Conservative, describe what type of Conservative you are: (select one)   I am a Social Issues Conservative   I am primarily a Social Issues Conservative but support Economic Issues Conservatism   I support both Social and Economic Issues Conservatism   I am primarily an Economic Issues Conservative but support Social Issues Conservatism   I am an Economic Issues Conservative   Other What is your assessment of the role conservative women played in the 2010 Election Results: (select one)   Conservative women voters played a decisive role in the 2010 election results   Conservative women voters played a moderate role in the 2010 election results   Conservative women voters played little role in the 2010 election results   Unsure SECTION TWO: THE LEFT’S EFFORT TO REDEFINE WOMEN IN AMERICA Because this move is underway right now, I need you to complete this section so that I may quickly respond to the media with how women really feel about this effort.  Leftist organizations like MoveOn.org are suggesting that the GOP is at war with women because they oppose Obama’s HHS mandate to provide free abortion drugs (check ALL that apply):   The Left is mis-characterizing women in an attempt to demonize Republicans.   The GOP is standing against tyranny, not against women.   I believe women are being targeted by the GOP.   Unsure The United Nations recently held its annual meeting on the status of women and combined feminism with environmentalism, suggesting that abortion is the key for population control and sustainability. (check ALL that apply):   I flatly reject the UN’s anti-life agenda.   Abortion is not essential for women to achieve success and significance in society as the UN suggests.   There is merit in what the UN is suggesting about abortion as a population control device.   Unsure SECTION THREE: WHAT I WANT HEADING INTO THE 2012 ELECTION Complete this section to let the new Congress know what your priorities are.  Here are my top issues of concern that I want the new Congress to address: (check ALL that apply)   War against radical Islam   Reducing Taxes   Restoring the Constitution   Religious liberty National security   Health care — shortage of care   Health care — government control   Government spending   Government debt   Family   Environment   Economy and jobs   Education   Immigration   Abortion Here is my NUMBER ONE issue of concern that I want the new Congress to address: (check one)   War against radical Islam   Reducing Taxes   Restoring the Constitution   Religious liberty National security   Health care — shortage of care   Health care — government control   Government spending   Government debt   Family   Environment   Economy and jobs   Education   Immigration   Abortion WHAT I WANT CONGRESS TO DO…  (Select one for each which most closely describes what you want Congress to do on the following issues)  ON GOVERNMENT SPENDING: (select one)   Government spending must be reduced in real dollar terms until the budget is balanced.   Government spending must not increase until the budget is balanced.   Spending should be strictly limited by constitutional amendment to a fixed percentage of the Gross Domestic Product.   Government spending is not a concern until the economy is back on track.   Unsure ON GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE: (select one)   The government healthcare law should immediately be REPEALED.   The government healthcare law should be REPEALED and REPLACED with market-friendly reforms.   The government healthcare law should be modified to eliminate the individual mandate.   The government healthcare law should be implemented as passed in 2010.   Unsure ON THE FEDERAL DEBT AND DEFICIT: (select one)   The federal debt is a direct threat to our families and our way of life and must be reduced.   The federal debt is a result of a statist ideology that looks to government and not the individual, family and private sector for societal solutions and is a threat to our constitutional liberties.   The federal debt is a "necessary evil" of a modern economy, especially in times of economic recession.   Unsure ON THE GOVERNMENT DEBT CEILING: (select one)   The government debt ceiling should NOT be increased. Period.   The government debt ceiling should be increased only with legislation in place to reduce spending.   The debt ceiling must be allowed to increase until the economy can sustain growth.   Unsure ON TAXATION: (select one)   The current tax system should be abolished and replaced with one simple tax.   Tax rates should be lowered to stimulate the economy and reduce government intrusion.   Tax rates should remain the same.   Tax rates should be increased to help reduce the deficit.   Unsure ON JOBS AND THE ECONOMY: (select one)   It is the government’s responsibility to create jobs through government spending.   It is the government’s responsibility to create a climate for private sector job growth.   The best jobs program centers on small government, low taxes, less regulation and free markets.   Unsure ON ABORTION FUNDING: (select one)   The Government must not use my tax dollars to fund abortion.   The government must cease and desist any and all funding of abortion directly, through government healthcare or indirectly through subsidies to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.   The government should fund abortions and abortion providers.   Unsure ON OBAMA’S HHS BIRTH CONTROL MANDATE: (select one)   The government has no right to force citizens to act against their moral and religious compass to provide multiple contraceptive methods to women including, “the morning after pill”, ella (the week after pill), and sterilization procedures.   The government is right to mandate that these healthcare services are provided free to all women.   Unsure ON MARRIAGE: (select one)   Marriage should be defined by our laws and upheld in the courts as the union of one man and one woman.   The definition of marriage is changing and our laws should reflect the changing meaning of marriage.   Unsure ON FAMILY POLICY: (select one)   Congress should defund any efforts by the Obama Administration to undermine the Defense of Marriage Act.   Congress should pass an amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.   Congress should eliminate the marriage tax penalty and the punitive death tax.   Congress should defend the Defense of Marriage Act, pass a marriage amendment and eliminate the marriage tax penalty.   Unsure ON GOVERNMENT WELFARE AND ENTITLEMENTS: (select one)   Government welfare and entitlements undermine our society, our families and our very way of life and must be reduced immediately.   Government welfare and entitlements create a climate of government dependency.   Government welfare and entitlements have created a societal obligation that must be fulfilled.   Unsure ADDITIONAL COMMENTS (Limit 200 characters) SECTION THREE: ABOUT YOU   Sex:   Female Your age:   Under 30   30-39   40-49   50-59   60-69   70 and over Martial status:   Single   Married   Widowed   Divorced Children?   I have children in the home.   I have grown children who are no longer in the home.   I do not have children.   I have grandchildren.
