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?
My party calls for the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of U.S. imperialist and all "coalition" troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. No to economic sanctions and military threats against Iran! End Washington's cold war against Cuba! Independence for Puerto Rico! Hands off Venezuela! Cancel the foreign debt of semi-colonial countries.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?
The assault on Medicare is a disaster for workers and retirees and a boon for the drug and insurance companies. The health care system should be nationalized to provide universal, government-guaranteed, lifetime medical coverage for everyone in this country. Our campaign says: No cuts to Medicaid or Medicare programs!3. Where do you stand on the current balance between security and civil rights?
The main target of Washington's spying operations and "anti-terrorism" activities are working people in the U.S. and other countries. My party opposes all government spying, secret courts and warrants, and torture techniques like those exposed in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons (and used regularly in U.S. prisons against workers).
