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?

I opposed the war from the beginning. Rep. McNulty voted for it. We should withdraw our troops from Iraq and most of the world. We have to stop wasting money defending rich countries like France, and defend our own borders first.

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 program is far too complicated and should be eliminated. People who need medication would be better served by allowing them to buy drugs from Canada and other countries.

3. Where do you stand on the current balance between security and civil rights?

I support civil rights. "Security" is just another excuse for political insiders to waste our money. My mother should not have to take off her shoes to get on a plane. With increased airport security taking so long, more people die in line than die from terrorism.
