You don't have to be in District 5 to ask a question. I am trying to get people in District 5 to know where I stand better when they vote for Senate.

I am against school vouchers, I believe instead of moving students away from the problem, we should clean-up the source and that is public education.

Totally against it, it is violation of our Democratic process and provides no real value. I say instead of reducing the amount of political parties, we encourage parties to form partnerships with each other to help elect the best possible government officials.

Hard question....

Although I support world unity, I feel they have too much power now and they expect other nations to do the dirty work. Iraq is perfect example, they aren't fully helping because they say the US isn't providing them with full security. UN has power to provide their own security and their own security would save Iraqi's lives everyday by providing much needed humanitarian aide.

We need to wake up the UN, its time for them to get into shape with the world.

Do they have the right to be opposed to the Iraq occupation?

Yes, but as the guardian of world peace and humanity they should recognize Iraq has a country in need of help.

I have discussed this with John Ford.

I say yes to an international force, however, we need to examine the oppression brought on by the Muslim extremists in Sudan more closely. You have to realise that there is a big Muslim population in Sudan that might experience their own oppresion brought on by a African government we will likely put in power.

Zimbabwe is a good example, the Africans stood against oppression from "the white men" and now "the white men"  are being oppressed. Instead of destroying the entire Muslim rule, I say we create a bipartisan, multi-ruler government run by Muslims and Africans.

Simple, cut spending and if possible move some programs to the private sector which could have some befenits to the economy. Taxes would remain constant and interest rates would be determined by the Federal Reserve Chairman.

No problem. Feel free to ask questions on the Senate District 2 Debate board. Have you endorsed anyone yet in that election?

I might endorse you, although I would probably hurt more than help. Your election is not for awhile though. I'll endorse the most liberal guy, most likely.

No, the Education, Defense, and Welfare would be the last things to cut. Our government has plently of small programs that could be cut without anybody missing them.

Raising taxes is not the only way to keep a budget. Raising taxes would hurt the economy which expands the deficit.

District 5 is pretty right, a Centrist is as good as it gets.

The IANA for example which regulates the internet. Who needs that? The Transportation Safety Administration easily be made into a regulated private organization.

In these times Transportation safety is very important and should be handled by the government.
