On Education:
Quality education for ALL children, not just privileged few

On Jobs:
End tax breaks for sending jobs overseas
The super-rich and mega-corporations have rigged the system in their favor. They are pulling the strings of puppet politicians like John Cornyn and other Washington Republicans in favor of Wall Street--not hardworking Texas families.
We need to stop sending politicians to Washington who care more about the bottom line of CEOs on Wall Street than working families in Texas.

our economy, not giving them another bailout.

On War & Peace:
time for us to bring the troops & funding home
David Alameel is a veteran and strong supporter of the United States military. However, after twelve years it's time for us to leave Afghanistan, bring the troops home and use the hundreds of billions of dollars we are spending there to help rebuild
America. We need to redirect those resources back here at home to:- Create good paying jobs that can't be shipped overseas
- Ensure a quality education for all Texas children, not just the privileged
- Protect Social Security and Medicare.
