Open Forum for ACAer's

[12th Doctor]

I would like to talk any questions that you might have.  No speeches, I just want to let you guys know that you can be comfortable with me.  So, fire away....

Why should ACAer's (as an aside, that sounds lame) vote to endorse you over a member of our party?

[J. J.]

Senator, could you describe the role that you see for the national and regional governments.

Sorry, I didn't really know what to call you.


Well, first off, I have had a lot of expirience in dealing with fantsy government.  Though I might not be 100% in allignment with the ideals of the ACA, we share a number of the same goals and I can assure you that I have to leadership skills and the ability to accomplish many of the goals that the ACA seeks to attain.

Quite simply put:

The Federal government is meant to fullfill those powers granted in the Constitution and by fullfill, I mean actively utilize, not pretend that we can't do them unless it is nessesary.

The role of the regions is fullfill those tasks not specifically assigned by the constitution.

In the past, I have come down hard on the regions, but that is because there are those out there who will seek to over step the bounds of that have been set by the constitution.

I respect the rights of the regions to set their own laws on welfare, I would like for them to be able to establish their own laws on abortion issues, etc.
