Issues- Immigration
In Issues on February 19, 2009 at 12:34 am
The United States of America has traditionally been a land of immigration, diversity, and fresh starts. When one chooses to expel these fundamental ideas, one chooses to expel the main theory of this country. Most people born in the USA are indirect descendants of colonists from Europe, without realizing that many from the other areas of the Americas share the same common origin; they both struggled for independence from colonial powers elsewhere. We must embrace our origins and truly realize that America is a country of inclusion and diversity.
Issues- Gun Control

It is my belief that if one does not possess a weapon, one cannot possibly use a weapon. The main point on which to compare whether a gun should be used or not is if a gun is truly needed in any situation. Unfortunately, many citizens do not draw the line of distinction correctly. I believe that only several circumstances actually require the use of a firearm. Please, gun owners everywhere, use proper JUDGMENT.
The Environment

To suggest that Global Warming is a myth is not just an act of stupidity, it is an act of childish ignorance. Whatever the problems with the environment are, it is our mutual responsibility to cure the earth to make your children and grandchildren a safer, more comfortable planet.
Issues- Energy and Gas

The basic cause of the gas prices dilemma is the simple fact that America has grown far TOO reliant on gas and oil. I know that there will not be one simple alternative energy source, so we should embrace and use ALL of the sources that we can. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Electricity, everything can be used as a fuel to power energy! This way, there WILL be enough energy for all of everyone’s needs.
Issues- Gay Rights

I am a staunch proponent of Marriage
Equality.
I believe that everyone has an absolute right to love whoever they want, regardless of orientation and gender. It is completely ridiculous that one is denied privileges to marry or love based on whether they are straight or not. In short: Gays deserve as many rights as non-gays.
(NOTE: see my speech about Marriage Equality here)
Issues- Abortion

I will be brief here, because this is undoubtedly a sensitive issue and should be treated as such. I believe that every woman has every right to choose whether or not they want to have an abortion, and that the hospitals must comply.
