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?
Protecting our young men and women who serve in the armed forces is paramount. The Iraqi government needs to take over their own security and we need to help them achieve that goal.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?
It is important to guarantee healthcare to those in need. We need to offer access to prescription drugs. It was a difficult roll-out but with continued education, our senior citizens will be able to make the best choice for their coverage. I hope to make healthcare a comprehensive program.3. Where do you stand on the current balance between security and civil rights?
It is a balancing act. I believe that homeland security needs to focus on the vulnerable areas of our country. We have made tremendous strides since 9-11, but I am concerned that some programs may have had unintended consequences. I support the need for privacy while keeping our borders safe.
