Questions & Answers

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

I support a change to our immigration policy that would provide a fair and realistic pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living here. I also support the DREAM Act provisions which enable states to extend in-state tuition rates to undocumented students seeking a higher education.

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

The imposition of a carbon tax is the best way to reduce domestic C02 emissions. Therefore, I support the Larson Bill of 2009. The legislation imposes a progressively rising tax on CO2 emitters and carbon-intensive imports, while also providing tax credits for clean tech R&D and investments.

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

I support the withdrawal of all troops and ground personal from Iraq by January 31, 2011. I support the phases withdrawal of all troops and ground personnel from Afghanistan beginning March, 2011 and to be completed by September 1, 2011.

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

Yes, I support substantial additional federal funding for economic recovery. However, the funding methodology must observe a bottom-up approach that put the people first. The supply-side-economics-approach of Bush, Obama and Schumer have failed the people and are to blame for the rising public displeasure with government.
