Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. In this time of high unemployment and budget deficits, what are the most important steps that should be taken to improve our nation’s economy and sustain job creation?
Restore the value of the dollar. Bring companies back to America. sustain energy and oil as an export.2. What, if any, changes should be made to federal health care policies or programs?
I truly believe in looking at our neighbors to the north Canada and borrowing some of their ideas towards healthcare. Obama care and its ridiculous cost and taxation rates must go. Social medicine must go.3. What are your priorities with respect to our nation’s energy policy?
Create renewable energy while not destroying the environment. Invest money in salt water purifier facilities. Stomp been so dependent on coal and petroleum.4. What, if any, changes should be made with respect to our nation’s security, including our national defense or anti-terrorism measures?
The NSA NEEDS TO FOCUS ON LEGITIMATE TERRORIST THREATS. Domestic spying on people that have no terrorist ties should not be allowed, not only that but it is a drain financially. We need a strong, not necessarily expensive military. Furthermore negotiating with terrorism is not possible.5. What is your position on the issue of immigration reform? What, if any, changes to legislation or policy would you support?
Amnesty. I would not support building an expensive wall that probably wouldn't stop immigration from Mexico. I believe in securing and upgrading border protection. Also I believe in allowing individuals without criminal backgrounds should have the right to a path to citizenship. I.E. documented immigrants with jobs. We could use the increase of tax revenue.
