Issues
Introduction[?]Introduce yourself to the voters. Give an overview of your philosophy.
i stand for people over big business.
Abortion[?]What is your stand on abortion?
i stand for a womens right to an abortion.  i personally cannot do it but i don't believe i have the right to stop others from having the option.
Economy[?]How would you address current and future economic issues?
we need to concentrate on the middle class.  the upper class or the rich if you will have been getting all the breaks over the years.  take away the tax breaks from the rich and the corporations.  have some form of penalty tax on any business that takes its jobs overseas.
Education[?]What are your views on the Education system?
it has become to expensive.  we need to upgrade our education in this country.   government should give college loans to student in exchange for community service.  1 year of service for every year of tuition paid for.  put more money into the education system by lowering the salary for all members of congress and the president and use that money for education.
Energy Policy[?]How would you address the energy needs of the country?
go with solar, wind, geothermal.  oil companies are a hindrance to our nation.  we have the ability for all these sources of energy but we must stop worrying about the oil companies.  stop the use of oil and the middle east becomes a non-entity.  it will take some drastic changes on our part and some pain also but in the end we'll be better off.
Environment[?]How would you balance the needs of the environment with the needs of the economy?
the enviroment must and shall be protected.  fine any company or individual who is knowingly damaging the enviroment.
Foreign Policy[?]What should the United States' role be in the global community?
must talk with all countries.  do not interfere with other countries internal affairs.  no pre-emptive attacks on any country.  withdrawal all american troops and close all bases in foriegn countries.  only the troops needed to guard our embassies will be posted overseas.  all the money that is being spent by our troops in other countries would then be spent in our country and assist our economy.
Health Care[?]How would you address the current health care situation?
free healthcare for all u.s citizens
Immigration[?]How would you balance immigration and the needs of the workforce?
legal immigration yes.  all illegal imigrants to be rounded up and documented and returned to country of origon.  if caught trying to return illegally they should be arrested and put in prison.  make legal immigration procedures tighter and better documented.
Iraq[?]What is your policy regarding the current War in Iraq?
get out now!  arrest bush and cheney and charge them with war crimes.
National Security[?]How would you protect the country?
abolish the homeland security department. repeal the patriot act. bring all military back to the states.  re-open bases that were closed in the u.s. and station returning troops at these bases.
Tax Policy[?]What are your views on taxation?
abolish the i.r.s. and use a national sales tax.  do not tax income but tax the things they purchase.  the more money you have the more things you tend to purchase.  therefore the more you have the more taxes you pay.  you purchase less than you pay less tax.  now with all these irs employees, don't fire them, turn them into an accounting department to audit how the us congress uses our tax money.
Social Security[?]How should Social Security operate in the future?
do not privatize it.  keep congress from borrowing money from this account.  this is money for the retirees only not a fund to borrow from to pay for other things.  if you do not put money in then you don't get money out.  NO benefits for illegal aliens.
