Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. The American occupation in Iraq continues to be enormously costly in dollars and in lives. What is your position on how our government should proceed?
I have spoken out at length regarding the difficult and dangerous situation we confront in Iraq. I have consistently and persistently criticized the Administration's handling of the war. This complicated issue cannot be oversimplified. I refer you to the many speeches and statements I have made regarding this issue.2. What is your impression of the roll-out of the Medicare Prescription Drug program so far, and what changes would you propose to make it better?
While I voted against the bill, I have been working hard to fix the problems plaguing the Medicare prescription drug program. I have co-sponsored legislation to reduce the complexity and fix the donut hole, and released a guide, in English and Spanish, to help New Yorkers navigate the transition.3. Where do you stand on the current balance between security and civil rights?
The President must be able to pursue terrorists, defend our national security with the best technology available, and act within the law. If the President feels he needs more flexibility he should engage Congress so that we can craft laws that both protect our citizens' safety and uphold our Constitution.
