Expand all |Collapse all
I believe we should close the borders against illegal aliens who do not enter our Country legally, and we should not give them "benefits" while simultaneously U.S. Military Veterans and other USA citizens are homeless.I believe we should keep our 2nd amendment rights while simultaneously providing all schools and shopping centers and government facilites with the highest quality "live" video camera surveillance in every room, hall and parking lot and air the "live" footage "live" on youtube so any parent or shopper or employee can see it anytime.
I believe we should make it perfectly legal to pay any mother and doctor to allow their abortions to be video taped and filmed live and air these on prime time television and on the internet and cable because abortion is legal up to the moment of birth in Vermont and people have been deprived of material facts of what really happens during an abortion.- We pay our taxes to the I.R.S. and then the U.S. Congress votes to give BILLIONS of our tax dollars to the N.I.H., National Institute of Health and to the Pentagon for research, design and development of new products including prescription drugs and vaccines and drones and satellites and new weapons systems, then the N.I.H. and the Pentagon allows the pharmaceutical corporations and defense contractors to own the Patents for these new inventions, and then they sell these new products world wide for TRILLIONS of dollars in profits, so where is our share of the profits, we paid Billions for the research, design and development and we deserve a share of the Trillions made in profits, and we can use our share for programs we need!
- I am the only candidate with a plan to raise money for programs we need without raising taxes! I will demand a return on investement of our tax dollars when they are used fby some other entity to make a profit!
- We must make marijuana legal under federal law. Old Testament Holy Bible, Genesis, God gave us every seed bearing plant.
(2) Reducing our 2nd Amendment rights will not stop criminals from getting guns and weapons.
(3) The abortion industry has to be exposed for what it really is in Vermont where abortion is legal up to the moment of birth and unborn babies organs may be harvested and "donated' while the abortion doctor may receive huge fees for storage and transport of the unborn baby's organs.
(4) Home heating fuel oil and car and truck gas are far more important to Vermonters than "global warming", especially during up to 6 months of snow a year. Open the pipeline and also commence with oil drilling.
