Questions & Answers

1. What are the two most pressing issues you will face if you are elected? (50 word limit)

We need to switch from our Petroleum based economy to a Green Industries based Economy.

We need to negotiate to get to "yes" with the entire family of nations to establish peace and cooperation in the world. Diplomacy is the art of the possible with friends and foes.

2. How will you address each of those issues? (100 word limit)

I will support legislation that supports the entrepeneurial growth of renewable energy sources and all of the support indutries that will grow our economy in a sustainable new direction.

I will use my vote to take away giveaway supports to the fossil fuel industries that leave us dependent on imported energy sources that increase the globing warming crisis.

Support of domestic Green industries will give us a negotiating stance to assert our independence and apply pressure for beter trade deals with all of our trading partners throughout the world.
