On Energy & Oil: Overhaul national energy policy within next 24 months

To achieve true energy independence, we must overhaul our national energy policy within the next 18-24 months. Here’s how.
  1. America must embrace the alternative fuel technologies that are already under development elsewhere.
  2. We must establish meaningful CAFE standards for motor vehicles and devote national attention to increasing energy efficiencies in homes and businesses.
  3. We must fund an all-out R&D program aimed at delivering sustainable energy independence within 10 years.

On Free Trade: Encourage Fair Trade agreements

America should continue to expand the global economy through new fair trade agreements, as opposed to today’s “free trade” agreements. “Free” here is meant only in the sense of “unrestricted”; these agreements do nothing to guarantee freedom to foreign workers, nor adequate compensation for their work, nor reasonable protections for their environment. [Then] Americans will stop watching their good jobs turn into exploitive jobs overseas.

On Health Care: Reduce healthcare inefficiencies; take on lobbysists

I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 20 years, so I’m only too familiar with the inefficiencies in our system. Fully a third of every dollar spent on health care in this country goes toward paperwork: endless forms and reports devoted, in large part, to passing the buck from patient to insurer to government programs & then back to the patient again. We need only to spend our dollars more effectively--and that means taking on the lobbyists who represent the big insurance & drug companies.

On Immigration: Crack Down on Illegal Immigration

Crack Down on Illegal Immigration: For years, illegal immigration has gone virtually unchecked. Congress must take steps to regain control of America’s borders. First, we must immediately increase funding for border enforcement. Then, we should confront the root cause of most illegal border crossings: the promise of jobs for undocumented immigrants.

On War & Peace: Establish a realistic plan and a timeline for Iraq

This chaos in Iraq is a direct result of the current administration’s poor planning for the occupation of Iraq. Due to their failures, Iraq has become a training ground for terrorists, who may pose a greater threat to our security than Saddam Hussein ever did. “Stay the course” is a political slogan, not a military strategy. The administration must establish a responsible, realistic plan for dealing with the insurgency and a timeline during which the Iraqi citizens must establish a viable government.
