On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your district?
The energy crisis is the most urgent. We need to build rail. A vehicle would need to get over 300 mpg to be as efficient as rail. Our free-market economy works better when the consumer has options. It is in the public's interest to build rail. We could build fuel-saving light rail for one-fifth the cost of the deadly toll roads being constructed on the Beltway! We can grow the economy by building rail and pay off the $9.6 trillion federal debt. Save fuel, save lives and provide jobs at the same time! Build rail now! Join us!
Why should voters elect you?
We need to pay off the $9.6 trillion federal debt. We need a budget analyst in the U.S. Senate. We need more trains, less traffic!

Would you support more funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport illegal immigrants?
a) No
b) Yes

a) No
b) Yes
b) Yes. We need rail to Dulles, light rail on the Beltway, along I-66 and to Ft. Belvoir. We need rail to the places that people need to go to.

a) No
b) Yes
c) Should be decided at state level
d) Responsible strategy dictates us to use energy-efficient rail and oil-energy alternatives. Vehicles need to get 300 mpg to be as efficient as rail.
Who do you endorse to be the next president of the United States?
a) Republican John McCain
b) Democrat Barack Obama
c) I endorse the Independent Green presidential candidate! Thirty-eight percent of Americans are Independents, the largest voting block in America. Join us!
The government should guarantee a basic benefit package to all that includes preventive care.
a) Agree
b) Disagree
