Today’s Issue: Kamala Harris
Welcome to Monday News & Comments.
Where does Harris stand on the Issues?
Abortion
- Pro-Choice
- Supports preventing states from enacting laws without first clearing with Justice Department
- Supports repeal of Hyde Amendment
(Pro-Choice, a feel good name for Pro Abortion, is now accepting abortion right up until birth.)
Climate Change
- Supports giving grants to coastal communities to prepare for sea-level rise
- Supports the Green New Deal
(The Green New Deal is a prescription for disaster. Major industries, including mom/pop businesses would be negatively impacted. It could reduce America to a 3rd world country.)
Criminal Justice Reform
- Opposes death penalty (formerly supported it)
- Supported pardoning people convicted of drug-related crimes
- Supports expanding (packing) the Supreme Court
(The death penalty is 100% effective against repeat offenses; pardoning drug-related crimes would flood streets with criminals; packing Supreme Court would undermine government.)
Economy
- Supports ‘Equal Pay Certification’ to prove companies not giving preferential treatment regarding pay, promotions, & more
Education
- Supports College For All Act (eliminating tuition/fees for public colleges/universities for Americans earning less than $125,000/yr.
- Supports a limited student loan debt forgiveness program
Election Reform
- Supports abolition of the Electoral College
- Supports updating and reinvigorating the Voting Rights Act
(Electoral College protects small states; founders intentionally included it.)
Foreign Relations
Supports Israel
(This is what our country should always do.)
Guns
- Supports universal background checks
- Supports ban on assault weapons
(Attack on 2nd Amendment; most hunting rifles would be included.)
Healthcare
- Supports “Medicare-for-All with public option”
(Would bankrupt nation.)
Housing
- Supports Homeowners Bill of Rights
- Supports debt reduction for homeowners
- Supports refundable tax credit for families making less than $100,000/yr.
- Supports $100 billion program to help Americans of color buy homes
- Supports reforming eviction and screening processes
Immigration
- Supports possible abolishment of ICE
- Supports DACA
(ICE protects our borders; most claims against it are false. DACA no longer an issue.)
Marijuana
- Supports federal legalization of marijuana
- Supports expunging marijuana convictions from people’s records
(Medical marijuana is different from marijuana.)
Reparations
- Supports reparations
(Opportunities for Black people to advance already exist and should be improved. Reparations are not justified or needed.)
