creationism as well."
President Clinton through his spokesman, Joe

government such as the Constitution and especially
the first ten amendments also called "The Bill of
Rights," and those should not be eliminated.
31. Since September 11, 2001 there has been a
great deal of discussion in both the U.S.A.,

about whether Israel has a right to exist as a
country. There are many in those countries
that believe that Israel does not have a right
to exist.
[ X ] I believe that Israel has a right to exist as a
Country and it is duty of the U.S.A. to enforce
it's right to exist, as the U.S.A. has already

and I will work to end the United States
commitment of enforcing Israel's right to exist.

32. On February 4, 2004, President George W. Bush
made the following Statement on Massachusetts'
Court Ruling. "Today's ruling of the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is deeply
troubling. Marriage is a sacred institution
between a man and a woman. If activist judges
insist on re-defining marriage by court order,
the only alternative will be the constitutional
process. We must do what is legally necessary
to defend the sanctity of marriage."
[ X ] I believe that Marriage is a sacred institution
between a man and a woman. I would support a
Constitutional Amendment that defends marriage as
only between a man and a woman.

Constitution, drafted in 1787, says that only

serve as President or Vice President.
There is bi-partisan support for a
Constitutional Amendment to change that
requirement. Including, but not limited to
California's Republican Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Michigan's Democrat
Governor Jennifer Granholm, both of whom were
born outside of the U.S.A.

making it possible for non natural born
citizens of the United States to be eligible

Presidency of the U.S.A.?

[ X ] No, I would not.

population of forty two (42) states voted to
remove the little cross from their county
seal. This was a three (3) to two (2)
decision to negotiate with the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) over its threat to sue
unless a small cross is removed from the
county seal, rather than to fight the
threatened lawsuit.
Zev Yaroslavsky one of the three (3) voting
for removal said: "I don't personally believe
that any religious symbol on any government
seal is appropriate."

symbols and names should be removed from city,

[ ] I Don't know.
36. There have been attempts by several cities, such
as San Francisco, California and Washington, DC
to have noncitizens, including illegal aliens,
to vote in school board elections. The
California state constitution requires that a
voter be a U.S. citizen, to be eligible to
vote. Do you believe that noncitizens,
including illegal aliens ought to be given the
right to vote?
[ ] Yes, I do.
[ X ] No, I do not.
[ ] I Don't know.

or appointing them.
