Candidate for Elected Office in the United States of America
|
Nicole's Views on the Issues
|
Domestic Policy
|
|
Health Care-
|
|
It is the responsibility of the Federal Government
to guarantee adequate and complete Health Care to all of its citizens.
|
|
|
Crime-
|
|
The success or failure of the criminal justice system is
dependent on how closely the laws match the views and opinions of the populace. What is
needed is more successful crime control through the elimination of meta-crimes.
|
|
|
Education-
|
|
Federal programs that guarantees an equal K-12 education to ALL citizens and a college
education to anyone who both wants one and takes the initiative to pursue one.
|
|
|
Poverty-
|
|
It is time to address the Repugnant gap between the wealthy and the poor in this country
and establish a " Wealth Cap "
|
|
|
National Debt-
|
Responsible management of the Federal Budget
which includes the
elimination of the National Debt.
|
|
|
Equal Rights To ALL Citizens-
|
It is the responsibility of this Federal Government to insure
that ALL citizens have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
|
|
|
Religion-
|
|
Freedom of Religion balanced with the Separation of Church
and State. You have to choose between Religious Organization and Political Action.
|
|
|
|
Military LGBT Policy-
|
|
Don't ask don't tell was a small step in the right direction, but
it is time now to recognize all who serve in the Armed Forces honorably.
|
|
|
The Space Program-
|
|
NASA is to space what the Air Force is to aviation. We need
the commercial side of space transportation developed. But NASA does need to be funded too.
|
|
|
Censorship-
|
|
Tired of every movie on Network TV sounding like a poorly dubbed
Japanese Godzilla movie ? So am I. Censorship is bad, let's get rid of it.
|
|
|
The Electoral College-
|
|
It is not the place of a small organization to elected the President
of a country. Let the people elect their leaders by popular vote. Let's abolish the Electoral College
|
|
|
Non-Partisan Elections-
|
  |
The illusion of a non-partisan race results in the placement of a
seed candidate for a higher partisan position. No election is truely non-partisan.
|
|
|
Capitalism and Business-
|
  |
The idea that Capitalism can do no wrong is a myth. Capitalism
creates a different type of class system and penalizes those whose motivations are not focused
solely on profit.For the Majority of the country the main objective of business is to provide
jobs so people can contribute in a meaningfull way to society.
|
|
Foreign Policy
|
|
The United Nations-
|
We are one world of many nations and we need to act that way.
The United States does not have the right to police the world.
|
|
|
Immigration and Border Security-
|
|
We need to concentrate more on the Businesses that
hire undocumented workers and less on the workers. Security, a separate issue needs to
focus on the true threat.
|
|
|
Foreign Aid-
|
|
I believe foreign aid should be coordinated through the United
Nations, allowing all member nations to participate proportionately.
|
|
|
|
The International Space Program-
|
|
I am in favor of participating in and being a significant part of
the International Space Program. I believe this will help with commercial space development.
|
|
|
International Covert Operations-
|
|
While I am in favor of operating as part of a unified world, I
realize the need for good intelligence so we are prepared for adverse actions on the part of
foreign countries or organizations BEFORE they
happen, thus eliminating the need for alienating ourselves from the international community.
