Why are you running? To preserve some semblance of an economic future for my children and grandchildren.
What are the three challenges facing Colorado or the institution you seek to represent?
1) The fiscal irresponsibility of our federal legislators is destroying the dollar and, in turn, the economic future of our children and grandchildren.
2) Our federal government is not enforcing current law with regard to our borders.
3) Americans have no business in Iraq.
What steps, if any, do you think the federal government needs to take to address the problem of illegal immigration? Before any other steps will have any meaning, effect, or benefit, the federal government must get its act together and enforce current law with regard to the borders. Amnesty in any form, regardless of what it is called, is wrong and must not be granted to illegal immigrants or their children.
Do you support the continued involvement of American troops in Iraq? No! Our government must remove our troops as quickly as possible in a responsible manner.
