Domestic Policy › Term Limits

Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerNo. Make military service one aspect of national service to include alternatives such as the Peace Corps and other American public/community service activities.

Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
4>4 Personal answerNo! The damned act needs to be repealed and replaced with a rational system of individual protections, open disclosure of actions brought under any conceptual "Alien and Sedition" provisions, and end all unlawful random collection efforts. Return to the hard, cold laws of habeas corpus, and stop demonizing ANY class of citizen or legal resident. |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerYes, but condition future aid and assistance on progress towards resolving the Palestine territorial issue.

the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerNo. There should be a "bright line" between allowed interrogations techniques and anything that amounts to a war crime or crime against humanity. However, there may be discrete circumstances where there is a critical need to obtain life-saving intelligence, in which instance it is the theater commander and his/her staff's call if there is a need for crueler interrogation practices. If such actions are subsequently authorized, then the burden of accountability must fall on those who authorized such "extra-judicial" actions. If the solution saves lives and/or ends a threat, the issue of accountability may be rendered moot; if it fails OR it is learned subsequently that the threat, and thereby the enhanced interrogation measure was overstated, those involved must stand to answer for their crime. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerNot just no, but hell no! Where would we establish the battleground, given that ISIS/ISIL has no standing army, international recognition, or declared theater of operations? Putting "boots on the ground" only assures the anger of whatever unhappy host nation, and provides an even greater source of recruitment by angry and disillusioned young men AND women. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerIncrease aid to places experiencing environmental crises or economic displacement due to privatization of resources thereby creating additional economic burdens on poor nations. |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerNo, we must use every diplomatic option first |

Foreign Policy › Terrorism
4>4 Personal answerNo, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerNo. They should be pursued and eliminated using the kinds of counter-guerrilla operations that the British SAS used against the Mau-Mau Insurrection in Africa in the 1950s - ruthless, implacable, made up of international volunteers, and only subject to the oversight of a multinational joint terrorism taskforce. |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerYes, and let's be about the business of learning to live "off world." We may need lifeboats in a future that is closer than we may imagine, and the only people who will be designing them, will be NASA. |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerNo, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerThe notion that "gentlemen don't read others' mail" is ludicrous and counter-productive. Assume that our allies are doing the same thing to us - they are! - and that whatever we learn from that process can/will be used to strengthen our position or relationship with that nation, in equal measure with any such discoveries by the target nation. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations |
