Sharon Hansen on Homeland Security

Superior nuclear arsenal is unnecessary

Hansen: Disagree

We are spied upon & watched; we are not free anymore

Non-veteran president should yield commander-in-chief role

A: Our president is presently reducing the size of our military by firing experienced military leaders. I am 100% for reducing waste in the military but I don't think firing military leaders or imprisoning them is the right route to take. I don't think anyone should be elected to the presidency and become the commander in chief without military experience. I think we need a constitutional amendment that says if someone is elected to the presidency and has no military experience, then the top ranking military officers of each branch of the military should be given the title of commander in chief of that military branch. A civilian cannot possibly do the right thing for our military or our country with no experience.

Get rid of FISA, the NSA, the NDAA, and the TSA

• Stop all the spying on innocent American citizens. This pretty much goes along with cutting the waste. This paranoia of our government is costing the taxpayer billions and billions of dollars. It's unaffordable, it's a waste of money, and it's not productive. The NDAA and NSA need to go. I will work to repeal all the spying programs on US citizens.
• Secret Court needs to go. These people are allowed to change any policy they want. They are costing us money and they are not elected. It's just another set of unjust people that we are paying to rip off the taxpayer. I will work to defund the "secret" court.
• The TSA needs to go. We are being forced to submit to dangerous x-rays, and a personal pat down where some agents go overboard. How do we know these aren't pedophiles patting down our children? This is totally unnecessary. The airlines can do their own security. I will work to get rid of the expensive, intrusive, and ineffective TSA.
