Candidate for |
|||
|
National Security: Navy Veteran Mike Giorgino Will Fight For A National Security Strategy that Meets the Challenges of Our Time Mike Giorgino spent 20 years on Active Duty in the U.S. Navy. He knows defending our nation against its enemies is the first and fundamental commitment of the federal government. On September the 11th, 2001, America learned that oceans will no longer protect us from the threats of a new era. Economy: Mike Giorgino Supports the President's Economic Security Agenda. On May 28, 2003, President Bush signed into law a bold jobs and growth plan to strengthen America's economy and ensure its continued growth. Mike Giorgino supports the President's plan to make tax cuts permanent to stimulate the economy and create more jobs! Homeland Security: Gulf War Veteran Mike Giorgino Will Help President Bush to Protect the American People. Mike Giorgino served in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He knows the President's most important job is to protect and defend the American people. Last year, President Bush proposed and Congress approved a single, unified Department of Homeland Security to improve protection against today's threats and be flexible enough to help meet the unknown threats of the future. Health Care: Mike Giorgino Will Promote Free Market Solutions to America's Health Care and Prescription Drug Choices. Mike Giorgino supports President Bush's comprehensive health care agenda, which improves health security for all Americans by building on the best features of American health care. Our health care system can provide the best care in the world, but rising costs and loss of control to government and health plan bureaucrats threaten to keep patients from getting state-of-the-art care. Education: Mike Giorgino Supports President Bush's Commitment to Leave No Child Behind. Mike Giorgino strongly supports President Bush's commitment to make educating every child his top domestic priority and reform a system that has failed the most needy students in our nation's classrooms. He proposed a comprehensive, bipartisan plan to improve overall student performance and close the achievement gap between rich and poor students in America's more than 89,599 public schools. The President's No Child Left Behind Act was passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority and is already showing results for America's children. Environment: Mike Giorgino is Committed to a Balanced Approach to Preserving the Quality of Our Environment, Economic Progress, and Public Access to Public Lands (including off-road recreation). Mike Giorgino shares President Bush's belief that good stewardship of the environment is not just a personal responsibility, it is a public value. Americans are united in the belief that it is important to preserve our natural heritage and safeguard the land around us. Social Security: Mike Giorgino Supports The President's Plan to Strengthen Retirement Security. Mike Giorgino agrees with President Bush that we need to explore new ways to ensure that Social Security remains strong and financially secure for America's children and grandchildren. The President formed a bipartisan Presidential Commission to review Social Security and recommend reforms to put the system on sound financial ground. He has repeatedly stressed the need for modernization of the Social Security System. In addition to saving Social Security, President Bush has proposed solutions to strengthen pension plans and enhance retirement security for all Americans. Energy: Mike Giorgino Supports The President's National Energy Plan. In May 2001, two and a half years ago, President Bush proposed a comprehensive National Energy Policy and has taken steps to implement it. Mike Giorgino will strongly support the President's energy policy in Congress.
