My issues would be free birth control for everyone, birth control included in any foreign aid, forced sterilization for people who are drug addicts, felons or have 2 children they can't afford. Free job training & child care for people on welfare (with a time limit), putting addicts in rehab instead of jail (this is what Euorpean countries do), legalize medical marijuana & decriminalize marijuana for everyone. No war without a dam* good reason. There are more, but I'll stop there. You get the drift.

No, I wouldn't. No offense to you personally, but I don't like the idea of one person or one government controlling peoples' lives. As for foreign aid...that should only be doled out when our domestic issues are sorted out. Rehab only works if the addicts wants to be rehabilitated, which means millions of dollars will go down the tubes trying to force these people to fly right. I subscribe to the 'if you don't work, you don't eat' philosophy. I think that medical insurance should only be free for children and elderly who are past retirement age. Everyone else can get off their duff and work for it like the rest of us. I agree with legalize medical marijuana, but what's the point if the HMOs and pharmacutical companies are controling everything and bleeding us dry? We need to put serious limits on those folks, not the average working Joe. What exactly is a damn good reason to go to war anyway? Just because you're not hearing a good reason on the news doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Ever hear of classified info?
As far as the forced sterilization...my cousin had a great idea: sterilized everyone until they can prove that they can be good parents and then the sterilization will be reversed. How much money on welfare and children and youth services would we save!

You sound like a liberal to me, but those are just minor issues on the whole:
How do you feel about the Iraqi war, war in Afghanistan?
Do you approve of Capital Punishment?
Do you believe in the "Three Strikes and you are out" theory as far as criminal justice?
What organizations have you successfully belonged to in the past?
What was your grade point average?
Have you ever written a bad check? How old were you at the time if so?
Do you support the idea of lobbyists working the US Government?
How do you feel about Illegal immigration? Would you build the fence or grant amnesty?
Do you do drugs? If so, what and how often?
What religion do you practice?
How many times have you been married?
If you haven't been married, are you gay?
Do you have any children?
And a whole other list of personal questions that anyone will ask you if you run...

1. No on free birth control. If someone is not responsible enough to not have sex until they are ready to have kids, then too bad.
2. No forced sterilization. This would never fly
3. No free anything for anyone. That is the problem.
4. Put all drug addicts in jail and lock them away. I do not care.
5. No on pot. It is a drug
6. We went into Iraq for many good reasons. First being defending this country. You will not listen to what I have to say on this so I will not bother
I work everyday to keep people like you out of office. All I hear from you is excuses for bad behavior and taxing the wealthy to give it to those who do not deserve it.

You will never get elected with that socialist nonsense, but you would also fail because you have no solution to the #1 issue facing us as Americans today. The WAR ON TERRORISM. so what is your solution?, no war without a dam* good reason?!?!?! Well that sounds just dandy. Im sure terrorist all over the world are logging on to Yahoo and are scared out of their minds.

No.it's inhuman to sterile people although they're drug addicts.but yes for rehabilitation......but I am quite suspicious
- What about Middle East? Their countries are floating on the sea of OIL. Invade their countries and American will grant a vast amount of $$$ in the name of "restoring democracy". - Yeah GO get them!! - I'm sick of American Foreign Policy.

I think that it's terrible to sterilize people like that, people are still people. So what if someone can't afford 2 kids right now? Does that mean that they'll never be able to afford more children?
Who are we to take the right to have children away from people?
"Free" things are going to make the taxes raise tenfold and they're high enough already.

Even if I voted for you, you would not win...your platforms make sense, and since they make sense, they won't fly...it's the costly stuff that doesn't make sense that people seem to want or that politicans let pass...
