Questions & Answers

1. What can be done to ensure that California gets its fair share of federal resources?

We need to elect a Representative who is concerned about the people of the district. We need to elect a Representative who receives most of the funds for the campaign from people who live in the district. In this way, we can feel confident that our concerns will have priority with our Representative.

2. What are your foreign policy priorities for the United States?

Our foreign policy must be one of peace and justice for all the people of the world. The United States must work with other sovereign nations to protect the earth. All nations must agree to work together to go beyond the Kyoto Protocol and strive for sustainability and equity to protect the people of the earth from the effects of global warming.

3. What are your priorities for the federal budget?

We must change the priorities of our federal government from foreign affairs to domestic issues. I want to reduce the funds spent for foreign affairs and redirect these funds to things needed at home, such as; Universal Health Care, good quality public education, creating a system of renewable energy and to encourage strong local economies. We must stop the loss of American jobs.
