Budget & Economy
Enhancement of the economy will come from tax cuts for individuals and businesses. Tax cuts for
individuals will help them keep their money and their homes. Decreasing business taxes will increase the
businesses ability to hire more employees, increasing jobs for our area. We're spending over 30 billion
dollars per year in financial aid for other countries. Iraq receives most f this financial aid. Financial aid is
used mostly in support of the foreign countries military. I want to decrease or stop financial support for
some of the countries (On a case by case basis.), which will help to decrease taxes, increase social security,
and enhance our ability to provide a universal health care system for all Americans. I am also advocating
budget cuts and balancing of the budget to help decrease taxes. Tax and spend within the government
needs to be stopped to increase economic growth. I travel 2 ½ hours, 130 miles to and from work. This is a
total of 5 hours and 260 miles a day. Fuel costs are a big issue to all of us Americans. I as well as other
Americans must support our families and traveling long distances is required. We need to be allowed to
drill off the coasts of Florida and California, while also drilling in Alaska. We also need to increase our
research in developing alternative fuels. When we find alternative supplies of oil and gas and not rely on
other countries, we will see a decrease in prices of these commodities.

Health Care
I am promoting universal health care for all legal citizens of the United States of
America. Universal health care should be provided for all Americans regardless of their ability to pay for
health care services. We can pay for this through decreasing or stopping financial support for other
countries. Establish the universal health care system by mimicking the military health care system. Establish
caps on salaries and develop pay scales similar to the governmental pay scales with bonuses for
specialties.

Education
Education can be obtained by all American citizens by all college's universities utilizing all funds received
from alumni, sports, etc. to stop the increase of tuition. Americans should also have the freedom of choice
to send their children to public or private schools. I would promote federal payments to private schools
equal to public schools, which would alleviate the yearly tuition for sending a child to a private school.

Immigration
I want immigration reformed by building a wall or fence and increasing border security to prevent illegal
immigration. Illegal is illegal! I am against the amnesty program, which allows for illegal immigration. I also
believe businesses with illegal immigrants, as employees should be fined. America should not encourage
illegal immigration. Illegal immigration takes jobs, health care assistance, tax dollars, education, and various
other programs away from American citizens.

Iraq & Afghanistan
The war in Iraq was established from information President Bush received from intelligence and I would
have voted for the war. I would have pushed for an end to the war after the fourth day, when we actually
won the war, or when we captured Saddam. We should have brought our troops home at this time and
worked toward the United Nations joining with the Iraq forces to police their country. I would have
also gone to war with Afghanistan with the information we received. I believe we should have also worked
toward the United Nations joining with Afghanistan forces to police their country. I believe now is the time
to bring our troops home safely. We must work at removing our troops as quickly as possible and turning
over the policing detail to the United Nations.
