No, because I have no clue who you are.

Education should definitely be left at the state and local level.

On the issue of the EPA I am vey much supportive of a clean environment though I also believe states should have much more of a say in their environment. The EPA also shouldn't be acting like Congress with it's implementation of laws on a frequent basis.

I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and would support passage of a bill permitting the open/conceal carrying of firearms on a nationwide basis and permit stores, restaurants, etc to ban the carrying of firearms if they wish to do so.

I do not support a gun registry. Though I do support more expansive background checks.

I don't know about privatization though the TSA needs a major overhaul.

Honestly I will have to educate myself on welfare policies more though like you am a big proponent of states rights for various issues.

Thank you for answering my questions. Are you currently involved in your County GOP? Have you thought about running for a state our county office, like City Counsel or County Counsel or State Rep? If you really want to get involved in politics, my advice to you would be to seek out your county GOP party and become a PCO (if your state has such a thing) and start meeting people and learning about the election process. That is the best place to get information and Candidate training and to get volunteers for your campaigns, etc. Good Luck!!

Mandatory sentencing, is against the 8th amendment.
One is presumed innocent, until due process proves them guilty.

You had my vote until then.

Please ask me any question that comes to mind regarding my political positions, ideas and or anything that you would like to know.

Here are just some of my goals if I were President.

Goals

• Support the removal of marijuana from the Controlled Substance Act and create a legal framework of how states could regulate the recreational and medicinal sale of marijuana.

• End the War On Drugs and declare a War On Addiction.

• Support the construction of the Keystone Pipeline

• Make extensive cuts on foreign aid.

• Audit the IRS, Pentagon among other government agencies.

• Support a mandatory minimum ten year sentence for anyone who uses a firearm to commit a crime.

• Order the Attorney General to start prosecuting all criminals who use firearms.

• Send government representation to all law enforcement, public safety and military funerals in the United States.

• End automatic birthright citizenship.
What is your stance on foreign policy and do you differentiate foreign policy from military agendas?

Do you consider corporations abusing power to back laws an aspect of a free market/free society?

What is your stance on mass surveillance by government agencies like the NSA?

How will you address the enormous prison population and crime in general?

What is your stance on income inequality?

Let's start with those.

Keep adding to your goals. I could support you. Added benefit, you could set up the DC 4th of July show

Well if you say mandatory sentencing is against the 8th Amendment then it wouldn't be legal so I couldn't do it.
