JL Mealer in OnTheIssues interviews with presidential candidates
On Budget & Economy:
Replace usurious Fed currency with precious metals
The Federal Reserve Note and its never-ending Usury [should be] replaced with US Congressional Dollars based on the following precious metals in order of true value Platinum, Rhodium, Gold, Iridium, Osmium, Palladium, Rhenium... Beryllium, and
Silver. Of course, many of the precious metals would be safely banked while the value of the precious hazardous metals issued as certificates due to the nature and complexity of the radioactive and dangerous effects of handling such material.

On Drugs:
Asylum for insider aliens turning in drug smugglers
US would have an open agreement for any immigrant or current US citizen whether in the US illegally or legally and carrying illegal drugs to voluntarily go directly to any authority or courthouse and without being charged with drug smuggling, to be
granted asylum and given a substantial finder's fee every step they can direct the officials up the ladder to the heads of the dealers and cartels. The lack of trust would implode the drug cartels and this creates American jobs.

On Education:
School prayer is ok, but not if at all mandatory
Q: What is your opinion on teacher-led prayer in public schools?A: SUPPORT with huge limits (strictly as moments of silence and/or pledge of allegiance). Must not be mandatory for students to stick around to hear Hindu mantras, or Pentecostal Holy
Rollers dancing with snakes. Religion is too diverse, so to each his own. To allow ONE religious faction or the teacher him or herself to decide the 'teacher led prayer' would be unconstitutional as it hinders freedom of religious expression.

On Homeland Security:
Oppose the Patriot Act; but support profiling
Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "The Patriot Act harms civil liberties"?A: SUPPORT, unconstitutional, although profiling works for any security group to observe and question a potential terrorist or
drug dealer or child molester or human trafficker , unless we want to clean up dead bodies and can suddenly heal the pains. DHS needs revisions, Patriot Act extensively refined

On Jobs:
Labor standards in the US and abroad
Foreign Corporations based in countries [where we have free trade agreements] are using slave labor and communism to destroy the American workforce.
This is one point I agree with unionized labor, and probably the only point outside of the fact that American workers must be treated with respect and operate in a safe workspace.

On War & Peace:
Out of Iraq & Afghanistan; stay in Pakistan
Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "US out of Iraq and Afghanistan"?A: SUPPORT; this never ending battle to control the factions that will never cease fighting amongst themselves and where we have no real objective.
Pakistan appears to be the main terrorist supporting nation against the USA and we have been funding them to fund the terrorists.

On Abortion:
Abortion violates constitutional rights for our posterity
Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "Abortion is a woman's right"?A: OPPOSE for the Constitutional Reason (see Preamble) that the US Gov't is to: "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." So, yes, the mother-to be
has her "right to privacy" and YES, the unborn child has that right as well and is technically protected under Roe v Wade above the mother-to-be. So, NO on abortions; any abortion doctor would charged with murder.

Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "Require companies to hire more women & minorities"?A: OPPOSE: How about require "companies to hire Americans PERIOD"?
Men, women, minorities of both persuasions! No particular preference but the unemployed must NOT be ignored for the hiring of simple job-changers.

Drug use is a hazard to other people
