Dear Mr. Love:

I am a retired USAF officer, a retired telecom executive, and currently a part-time consultant. I am also a life-long registered Republican, however I am so pissed at Kenny Marchant and his narrow-minded lack of support for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) that I had to go looking for his opponent in this fall’s election. After some work, I found your website, but I have to be honest, it doesn’t tell me squat.

If I’m going to vote for you, I need to know where you stand on veterans’ issues, defense issues, Iraq , Afghanistan , Israel , Palestinian rights, energy independence, economic recovery and stabilization, and other issues vital to the 24th district.

Thank you for your attention to my concerns.

Sincerely,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY REPLY:

Thank you for writing me as I also am deeply concerned with our District's issues.

I support the EESA, extended Veterans benefits, a coordinated plan of withdrawal from Iraq devised with Iraq and our military to be completed within 16 months, elimination of using private security forces such as Blackwater, elimination of cost plus military no bid contracts, and establishing policies to get the deficit under control once we get past this current recession. I believe in increasing the assistance in Afghanistan and help end other problems by establishing a Mid East Regional Conference on Stability and Policy with all countries within that region to monitor and help advise avenues for solutions for it and to the Israeli-Palestinian problem. We need to help develop realistic plans for peace.

I have advocated green job creation and energy independence by the use of alternative energy sources such as wind and solar for power plants and bio fuel for combustion engines. I believe and in using non agricultural land and high yield bio mass products such as blue green algae rather than corn ethanol to solve reliance on foreign oil.

We must establish job creation and reverse the outward flow of money to countries that provide 70% of our energy.


Many of these positions are on my blog:
