Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).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?
Just as World War ll was costly in dollars and lives and benefited both us and Europe, so we must continue to fulfill our mission of bringing security to Iraq, but we should work to be more knowledgeable about terrorists, and the hidden reasons behind their methods and motives.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?
My impression is that the program needs much improvement, and that the government should be more helpful to the patients, many of whom are senior citizens.3. Where do you stand on the current balance between security and civil rights?
We have to protect ourselves from enemies beyond our shores and within, and this might require curtailment of some civil rights for the sake of American lives, but this should be a temporary curtailment.
Responses to questions asked of each candidate are reproduced as submitted to the League.
