2020 DE Senatorial race: on Civil Rights


James DeMartino: Identity politics is detrimental to our domestic security

Q: Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

A: Yes, racism is a threat to domestic security. Identity politics is detrimental to our domestic and national security. The old adage applies today, "divide and conquer." The threat to our nation is from within our population. We must unite as Americans and fight for freedom and justice for all as established by our Declaration of Independence and our U.S. Constitution.

Q: What areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

A: Restore Law and Order. We must enforce our laws to protect our citizen's lives and property, a main function of government. I will support our police and their funding requirements. Our constitutional rights must be protected and anarchy in the streets must be prevented.
