Amendment 1: No
Amendment 5: Yes
Amendment 7: Yes
Amendment 8: No
Amendment 9: Yes

Amendment 1: Wolf in sheep's clothing. Intentionally vague with a politically-correct "rights" title. Big agricultural bill if ever there was one. Monsanto cannot be far removed.

Amendment 5: Obvious, but probably more style than substance.

Amendment 7: Sales tax is the appropriate way to fund roads. Gasoline excise is ineffective, and will soon be crowded out by federal excise tax increases. Roads are constitutionally enumerated, not liberal conspiracy. Fund roads and infrastructure.

Amendment 8: No. We don't need to coddle veterans from cradle to grave, especially not with bigger lotteries. The feds are responsible for vets. Lobby.

Amendment 9: Obvious, but they should proceed with caution.

1. Yes
5. Yes
7. No (what kind of person would want to fund roads by regressively taxing people who don't even own a car?)
8. No (lotteries are generally regressive and if a ticket was tied specifically to veterans' funding, it would likely keep getting expanded forever)
9. Yes

What is the "right to farm" actually about? Is it something to do with land use and zoning? Or an anti-animal-welfare measure?

Its kind of sketchy. Here's what I got off of ballotpedia:

Amendment 1: No. Too vague and broad.

Amendment 5: No. Redundant as this is already guaranteed by the national constitution.

Amendment 7: No. Roads should be funded by taxing the activities most immediately leading to the need for maintenance (fixing existing roads) and development (building new roads). Raise the gasoline tax; impose a tax on commercial trucks and tractor trailers; impose a development tax on improvements in exurban areas that disproportionately need new roads; institute or raise road tolls to ensure commuters bear the cost of their choice to live far away from their work.

Amendment 8: I'm indifferent to lotteries. The conservative morality argument is bunk. So is the liberal "stealing from the poor argument."

Amendment 9: Yes, but completely useless against federal authorities searching electronic records, and they're the ones who do virtually all of that to begin with.

No on all except the fifth (Amendment 9). 

For amendment 1, I'm all for a instituting a constitutional right to farm, and we should fight the huge amount of awful regulations, but this is vague and seems driven by a right to pollute, right to cruel treatment of animals agenda.
