I have completed many surveys. I suggest you read some of the surveys for a more complete view of my positions. I have been asked to share my opinion on certain social issues and to set forth my platform. I will attempt to do both herein. However, I want you to understand that I do not believe social policy issues should be dictated or influenced by special interest. I believe it’s up to all New Yorkers to decide social issues and how we want to live as a State. I am absolutely against the Federal Government dictating social policy to the States.
I PLEDGE NOT TO VOTE ON ANY BILLS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN READ IN THEIR ENTIRETY AND THE PUBLIC WAS MADE AWARE OF SAME BY ME BY WAY OF PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT, WEEKLY RADIO AND INTERNET BROADCAST.
Short and sweet:
I believe we need to protect all classes from the fraudsters out there that steal life savings, pension plans etc by way of Ponzi schemes, insider trading and fraud. They do the crime but don't do the time. They steal millions, do a few years in jail (except Madoff) and come out with all the money that they hid. They don't have to pay anyone back because everything they own is in their wife's name. Like Madoff's wife who still lives a pretty nice life. Where did she get her money from?
Second point about fraud. Millions if not billions are stolen from the taxpayer every year by way of Medicare, Medicaid fraud, insurance fraud etc. I will work to put a stop to this. These criminals must face long hard time in State prison. We must create jobs in the investigation and prosecution of this fraud. This will create well paying jobs and lower our taxes and health care costs.
We need to vote on the issues. As Senator I will provide you with the opportunity to vote on the issues directly with me before I vote in the Senate.
America First. I will make sure that Americans come before any foreign country. Especially if it is to aid a rebel group. $45,000,000.00 was pledged to the Syrian rebels. If I was Senator I will fight for that money to stay here in America to help every wounded warrior, our first responders, every homeless, hungry, abducted and abused child, for victims of domestic violence, for social programs that aid our children, retirees, medical research etc. I will fight for American programs first before we send our money overseas.
I will preach a change from consumption to conservation. It's very easy to say the answer to our economy and jobs is drilling for more oil or natural gas. It doesn't take a genius to destroy our natural resources to make a profit. It doesn't take a genius to say let's drill for oil, cut down the forests for timber, let's cut the tops of mountains off for coal and fish the oceans. It takes a genius to convince the American people that we must do this in moderation. It's illogical to believe we have an infinite amount of natural resources. Therefore, we must conserve what we have and make it last for generations to come. The rich get richer from natural resources owned by the public. To state otherwise is illogical. Why are we paying for gas from public lands and Federal parks? If Exxon is drilling for gas and oil on Federal land owned by you and me why are they making a profit? That's our gas. The answer is because the people in power have an interest in the gas companies. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Fracking: Absolutely against it until we know more. I believe we have to protect the environment. I believe that Fracking is harmful and it is clearly foreseeable that it will cause a major catastrophic event. Greed and corruption are winning over common sense.
Abortion: I am pro-life with exceptions of rape, disease and the mother’s life. I don't believe it should be used as birth control. I don't necessarily have a problem with the day after pill. The decision to have an abortion because it is inconvenient is wrong.
Immigration: We need a comprehensible immigration reform. The federal government should allow states like Arizona to protect its borders.
I don't believe you should be forced to buy health insurance. I believe tort reform is a way to lower health care costs.
I believe in the Pledge of Allegiance and all of its wording including under God.
No more borrowing on the backs of the tax payers.
I am fiscally conservative and I will fight against spending money we don't have.
I will advocate for common sense and public opinion.
We need to stop foreclosure.
I'm running because I want to return the power to the people.
Everything I want as a candidate I want as a constituent.
I have made attainable goals not empty promises.
The decisions must be made by the voters of New York, not one person or special interest.
I believe the environment needs to be protected and human trafficking must be stopped.
Thank you for your time.
Obviously I cannot write it all down, so please feel free to call (516) 319-6018
