Issues

Education
We invest in our highway infrastructure but not our "Human Infrastructure". There are countries like Brunei and Saudi Arabia who offer their citizens a free education in any college or university (including ours)..! And what do we do? Load our people with financial hardship and debt for years..! My position, if we are really serious on regaining the competitive edge in science, technology and innovation, then we must at the very least match these other countries. Anyone with ability and desire who pursue these fields should be given a free education.
Note:
China has more college graduates then the United States and India combined..!


Immigration
Close our borders.
In reference to short term "guest worker" programs, only consider citizens from countries who
extend equal opportunities to Americans. Including ownership of property and businesses.

Healthcare
Profiteering should be eliminated from 2 areas of American life. Healthcare and our justice system.

Our Justice System
please review Healthcare.

Iraq Occupation
Bring our troops home. Our greatest threat is the Mexican border, not Iraq. We must end the profiteering by multinational corporations. We should aggressively pursue and criminally charge and convict with stiff penalties and fines any and all who is suspected of profiteering in Iraq. The cost of this occupation in American blood, pain, suffering, permanently wounded and death will be felt for generations to come. Our military deserves the very best. And we must assure them that their sacrifice will never end up again on some corporate profit and lost statement.

Our Economy
Our economy depends on the success of not only all of the above issues, but also (and not limited to) the following:
Revisiting international trade agreements and make sure that they benefit "Americans First".
(Please note, I did not use the words free or fair.)
Another area of serious concern is cracking down on financial institutions.
(Including mortgage and credit card procedures/scams.)

Personal Freedoms
Restore them. Protect them.

2nd Amendment
Protect it. Do not touch it.

Social Security
Stop all expenditures that are not directly related to social security benefits.
Go after and collect on projects that used social security funds.

Lobbyists and Special Interest Groups
Ban all "conflict of interest" votes from elected officials in Washington D.C. who has directly
or indirectly received contributions from sources who could benefit from proposed legislation.

Earmarks, Pork Barrel Spending
Eliminate.

Corporate Welfare, Subsidies
Eliminate.
