19. On FP, he wants to 'wage war on war itself' to put it succinctly. He wants this country to stay out

of unnecessary wars, and voted against all of them over the past several decades including the First Gulf War. He wants to cut the Military Budget and start spending on THIS country.

On Immigration he is for a path to citizenship and for the closing down of 'detention centers' where undocumented workers are often kept in some of the most inhumane conditions. He is for the Dream Act and is against the outrageous Republican notion that if you are born in this country you are 'not a citizen'.

I can't think of many issues he has not addressed CLEARLY and DIRECTLY, and has the record to back up his positions over the years.

We won't get a candidate like this again for a very long time. We haven't had one in the living memories of most of us, who has the long record he has which allows us to determine if he is making promises he hasn't lived by in a political campaign. He has that record so we can be as certain as it is possible to be, that if elected, he isn't likely to forget those promises.
