75. In my opinion

Wed Apr 20, 2016, 11:12 AM

Apr 2016

(and it's only an opinion) it's difficult to impossible for ANY candidate to stop taking PAC money until the laws are changed. You still have to be competitive. When everyone is on a level playing field, THEN we will see what candidates really believe.

Fracking: I don't like it either. But it DOES reduce our dependence on foreign fuel. Hillary has said her big priority is clean energy (and creating jobs in that sector) so we can STOP relying on these other sources.
