Questions & Answers

1. What, if anything, do you believe the federal government should do to control global climate change?

Please show me where in the Constitution the Federal government has authority over this issue.

2. What should the federal government do, if anything, to ensure that every American has health coverage?

Please show me where in the Constitution the Federal government has authority over this issue.

3. What, if anything, should the federal government do about immigration?

Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution states "The Congress shall have Power ... To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization". I believe legal immigrants should be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, without favor or prejudice, and that illegal aliens should be arrested, tried and/or punished for their crimes, and deported.
