| OnTheIssues.org excerpts: (click on issues for details) |
|
Abortion Doesn�t support abortion, but leave them legal. |
|
Budget & Economy End pork-barrel spending; return surplus to the people. Return any budget surpluses to the taxpayers automatically. Government policy should facilitate business. |
|
Crime No role for governor in crime; it�s for local police. Put up with death penalty until life sentences mean life. |
|
Drugs Tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. Stop being so afraid of marijuana; some uses are OK. The war on drugs has failed; look for other solutions. Stopped taking steroids & made FDA posters against them. |
|
Education Commonsense steps to improve public education. Reducing class size solves many educational problems. Loosen federal control; leave more to state & locals. Mainstream disabled students. No government money for higher education. Mainstrean special-ed kids, like his daughter did. Neighborhoods shouldn�t abandon their public schools. |
|
Families & Children Community regulates behavior better than government. No more tax subsidy for child care; parents� responsibilty. |
|
Government Reform Government should get out of the way and let people live. Government service should be temporary; not a career. To change system, private citizens must get involved. Put political process on TV; exposure beats incumbency. Fought and lost on removing stupid milk regulations. Spend every 4th year removing obsolete laws. |
|
Gun Control If you�re going to own a gun, know what you�re doing. Guns are designed to kill; respect them. |
|
Health Care Comment �suicides are weak� meant �don�t encourage them�. |
|
Homeland Security Against the draft; for including women except in combat. War isn�t civilized; don�t expect warriors to be. Military is stronger if all-volunteer. |
|
Jobs Supports prevailing wages but not living wages. Strongly pro-union; and a union member. |
|
Principles & Values I didn�t need this job (as governor). Voters want honesty; he provides it. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Wanted to be mayor & governor; doesn�t want to be president. Two traditional parties are out-of-control monsters. Does not plan to run for president; but won�t rule it out. Big Plan: smart government and self-sufficiency. Problem is with fundamentalist fanatics, not religion. |
|
Tax Reform Let people keep as much of their money as possible. Replace income tax with 15% national sales tax. $600 �Jesse Checks� tax rebate to every taxpayer. |
|
War & Peace We need Saddam as the bad guy in oil disputes. |
|
Welfare & Poverty Believes in private charity, not government charity. |
