By Yolanda Knaak

Candidate for Member, Republican Party County Central Committee; County of Sacramento; Supervisorial District 4

  • Stem Cell Research. I support adult stem cell research which includes umbilical chord stem cells. Unfortunately because of bad legislation the research money has been diverted to embryonic stem cell research which has never found any cures, not even for one disease.
  • Physician Assisted Suicide. The greatest risk will be those marginalized by society(the poor, the elderly, minorities) and those who are disabled. I've heard many testify that they were diagnosed as terminal or brain dead and now they are a productive part of society and they love being with their family. As a society we must take care not to devalue people's lives based on a subjective determination of quality of life. I believe that it would be far better to provide quality medical care for depression, and pain management, therefore I oppose physician assisted suicide.

  • Guns. I believe that law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry guns. I believe that if the pilots on 9/11 had guns, that thousands of lives would have been saved.

God Bless You and God Bless America
