Why are you running? I have more than 50 years in studying the US Constitution. It is our duty as citizens to participate in our representative republic.
What are the top three issues facing Colorado or the institution you seek to represent?
1. To return our federal government to its Constitution limitations.
2. To bring our troops home right now.
3. To try to make our government enforce Constitutional provisions, such as immigration laws, and quit wasting time and taxpayer money on personal issues that should be up to states or citizens.
What steps, if any, do you think federal government needs to take to address the problem of illegal immigration? We already have plenty of laws on the books about immigration and we do not need more. We don’t need to spend billions on fences and other cosmetic idiocy. We just need to enforce the laws we already have.
Do you support the continued involvement of American troops in Iraq? Absolutely not. We need to bring our troops home right now. We must extricate ourselves from this illegal and immoral war and quit playing “regime change” roulette all over the world.
