2008 Presidential Candidates: I am supporting Obama for the DNC ticket. Not sure who I would arrive to with the Republicans right now.

Party: Registered Independent.

Abortion: 100% Against Partial-Birth Abortions. Otherwise I am pro-choice.

Affirmative Action: Against.

Alternative Fuels: Legislate the funding of this. We need to get a move on with this, seriously.

Capital Punishment: In agreement with the use of.

Censorship: Not a fan of censorship.

Cuba: Castro will be dead soon enough, as will our rationale for upholding this embargo.

Current Administration (Bush/Cheney): I don't like them, but they're not an "issue" as I see it.

Current Congress: Not getting much done, but look who is in the executive branch.

Education: Would be one of the things I would fund the most.

Electoral College: I agree with keeping this.

Flag Burning: Is protected by the constitution.

Foreign Policy: Not a big fan of the War on Terror, would not continue it in the fashion Bush has with military intervention.

Free Trade: I'm fairly supportive of Free Trade.

Gay Rights: I am in favor of allowing Gay marriage.

Global Warming: It is real and we should try to at least do something to combat it.

Globalization: I think "The World is Flat" laid out a good case for the rise of Globalization. I ultimately see it as a good thing.

Gun Control: I agree with Gun Control.

Healthcare: I am mixed on this issue and admit that this is one area I am still learning more about.

Illegal Immigration: Enforce laws on employers who hire illegals, increase the # of legals allowed each year. No wall.

Marijuana Legalization: I support the Decriminalization of Marijuana as a step to the possible state of Legalization. Taking a leap to legalizing it would be way drastic.

Media Bias: Again, it exists, but don't see how this is an issue.

School Prayer: Nobody should be forced to pray if they don't want to.

Separation of Church and State: It should exist firmly.

Social Security: I supported Bush's privatization plan.

Stem Cell Research: Another issue I am becoming more educated on, but as of yet can offer no solid stance.

The Constitution: There is a modification and amendment clause in it for a reason. The Founding Fathers were not stupid and realized that society would change and necessitate changes for its citizens.

United Nations: In the end, the UN is a very good thing. I am not for pulling out.

War in Iraq: Not a supporter of the war, never was, and agree with a withdrawl.

Welfare: Agreed with others WRT "workfare".

Wiretapping: Not without a warrant.
