Lots of your questions can be answered by reading our Frequently Asked Questions page and the Candidate Questionnaire page's "Document How You Will Vote" header section. We add to these documents on a regular basis based on the questions we get, so it's a good idea to re-read them every so often as well. edub

Question number one should be: Will you support and defend the constitution of the United States Of America?

I would think it is not necessary as if elected you are required to swear to that in the oath of office.

You would think so. Take the oath, support the constitution and the people, all is good, right? That is not what politics is about any more. Special intrest has gotten in the way. The last two presidents have given to the wealthy and taken from the poor to pay for it. Politics now days thinks more for there own future than they do for yours. Did they not just almost shut down the gov. and who would still get pay checks? Congress. Who would not? Our military. We hope to change that and it may not be a perfect system but it is better than what we have now.

If our current and past representatives in Congress followed the US Constitution, we would not have Obamacare, No Child Left Behind, or even an Interstate Highway System (this one I like). The 10th Amendment leaves these all to the states or lower government.

Initial federal planning for a nationwide highway system began in 1921 when the Bureau of Public Roads asked the Army to provide a list of roads it considered necessary for national defense. I believe that this system of roads is needed for national defense and that the constitution mandates that defense is a federal function. Although the system was not created specifically for defense it would fall under the cloak of national defense.

I agree with the creation of the interstate highway system as a national defense mechanism. Did you know the interstates also serve as emergency runways? Every 7 miles, there's a straight part. Anyway, the real question is: Should there have been a federal bureau of public roads in the first place?

Why create a federal bureau when they could have simply asked for a straight stretch and give the reason for it. Or fund the highway system with these requirement in order to receive funding. There are many alternatives to another bureau. Let me clarify. It is in the best interest of the states and business interests to build an interstate highway system. If the federal gov wants to have it designed for national defense as well as interstate commerce, then help with funding. A simple bill passed in congress with limits on costs and duration would have been sufficient. Leave it to the states not a federal bureau.
