I have several questions for Democratic candidates Jeanne Shaheen, Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes. I believe New Hampshire voters deserve straightforward answers to these questions.
- Where do you stand on the upcoming Supreme Court DC gun ruling? Do Washington DC citizens have a right to bear arms?
- Would you take any action to try to prevent the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts from expiring?
- What is your position on the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978?
- Is the surge in Iraq working or not?
- The federal Justice Department is forcing the small town of Mattawa, Washington to hire interpreters to translate all city documents into Spanish and hire Spanish-speaking staff to service the Spanish-speaking citizens. Do you agree with this mandate?
- Do you support U.S. corporations drilling for oil in new locations? If so, where?
- Do you support the notion of the U.S. government taking over and nationalizing refineries?
A response to all of the above from each of the Democratic candidates would be appreciated.
