Questions & Answers

1. What changes to our current immigration policy do you support?

US immigration policy should provide uniform standards for all immigrants regardless of their country of origin. A pathway to citizenship for documented and undocumented immigrants

2. What legislation do you support to reduce CO2 emissions?

We need disincentives to corporate / commercial burning of fossil fuels. Additionally, mass transit hubs need to be funded while personal use automobiles are required to pay higher tolls that would fund infrastructure road rail development.

3. What timetable would you support for the removal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan?

End the war in Iraq/Afghanistan by October 6, 2011. Our sons and daughters should be brought home as soon as possible. US troops should only be assigned to defensive missions consistent with the mandates of the United Nations policies. All other troops should be assigned to Defense Department tasks of protecting the lives of US citizens at home.

4. Do you support substantial additional federal funding for economic recovery?

Yes! Without question, advancing the economy is a universal call. All efforts to bring recovery are needed.
