8. I was going to PM you with some specific questions, but apparently you
can't receive them yet.

First, let me say that I will be supporting you in the primary and, of course, will vote for the Democratic candidate in the general.

I am curious why you are supporting a "guest worker" program, while at the same time advocating quality jobs and a living wage? Arizona has been infamous, at least for as long as I've been here (G-parents came here in '68), for sub-standard pay and refusing to enforce what few regulations it has regarding working conditions, overtime, discriminatory hiring practices, etc.
How about enforcing the existing laws that penalize employers for hiring illegal immigrants? Neither Democrats nor Republicans seem interested in taking this route to stemming the flood of economic refugees from south of the border.

Would you support a single payer alternative, or expanding the medicare system to include all Americans, as opposed to the insurance industry giveaways currently being peddled by the denizens of the beltway? If not, would you explain what the problem with these alternatives is?

These are just a couple of issues that are of concern to me and perhaps some other DUers. I hope you have the time to address them.
