How do we get the major candidates to talk about the most important issues?

We Agree
September 10th, 2008 by Don Rasmussen

The Republican/Democrat duopoly has, for far too long, ignored the
most important issues facing our nation. However, alternate
candidates Chuck Baldwin, Cynthia McKinney, and Ralph Nader agree with
Ron Paul on four key principles central to the health of our nation.
These principles should be key in the considerations of every voter
this November and in every election.

We Agree

Foreign Policy: The Iraq War must end as quickly as possible with
removal of all our soldiers from the region. We must initiate the
return of our soldiers from around the world, including Korea, Japan,
Europe and the entire Middle East. We must cease the war propaganda,
threats of a blockade and plans for attacks on Iran, nor should we
re-ignite the cold war with Russia over Georgia. We must be willing to
talk to all countries and offer friendship and trade and travel to all
who are willing. We must take off the table the threat of a nuclear
first strike against all nations.

Privacy: We must protect the privacy and civil liberties of all
persons under US jurisdiction. We must repeal or radically change the
Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation.
We must reject the notion and practice of torture, eliminations of
habeas corpus, secret tribunals, and secret prisons. We must deny
immunity for corporations that spy willingly on the people for the
benefit of the government. We must reject the unitary presidency, the
illegal use of signing statements and excessive use of executive
orders.

The National Debt: We believe that there should be no increase in the
national debt. The burden of debt placed on the next generation is
unjust and already threatening our economy and the value of our
dollar. We must pay our bills as we go along and not unfairly place
this burden on a future generation.

The Federal Reserve: We seek a thorough investigation, evaluation and
audit of the Federal Reserve System and its cozy relationships with
the banking, corporate, and other financial institutions. The
arbitrary power to create money and credit out of thin air behind
closed doors for the benefit of commercial interests must be ended.
There should be no taxpayer bailouts of corporations and no corporate
subsidies. Corporations should be aggressively prosecuted for their
crimes and frauds.
