I strongly support members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual community being treated equally, fairly, lawfully, and with dignity and respect. The rights of individuals that are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender should never be political because all should have a right to be treated equally and with dignity and respect in whatever country they are residing in. I believe that the countires in our world that impose harsh penalities against members of the LGBT community or those that are in some type of same-sex relationship, or even in cases where those individuals do not identify with labels, I support the decriminalization globally. 

I am a strong supporter of the United States reforming its immigration system. Too often in the United States, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement deport families that have not committed crimes, veterans who served in the armed forces of the United States, or other individuals that have engaged in activities that proved to be beneficial to the community. 

I believe that even tough an individuals may not be a citizen of the United States but resides in the United States, when they are believed to be engaging in a crime or when they are being proscuted for committing a crime, I believe that those individuals have procedural due process in which should be protected. Inidividuals that are not citizens of the United States but that also 

While it is true that the words “separation of the church and the state” do not appear in the Constitution of the United States, the phrase, "a wall of separation between church and state,” was coined by President Thomas Jefferson in a carefully crafted letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802, when they had asked him to explain the First Amendment. The Supreme Court, and lower courts, have used Jefferson’s phrase repeatedly in major decisions upholding neutrality in matters of religion. The exact words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution; neither do “separation of powers,” “interstate commerce,” “right to privacy,” and other phrases describing well-established constitutional principles.

As far as being in compliance with the separation of the church and the state with respect to legislation, I believe that laws must have a secular purpose, must have a primary effect which neither advances nor inhibits religion, that it must avoid excessive entanglement of church and state. See Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971).

Veterans are the individuals who have served to protect and to defend the Constitution of the United States Against all enemies, foriegn and domestic. Individuals who have signed up or who have been drafted in our armed forces should be treated well by the nation in which they served. Currently in the United States of America that is not the case. Veterans are not taken care of and they are not given quality health care. 

According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, about 1.4 million veterans are considered to be at great risk of being homeless due to them being in poverty, not having support networks and also due to them living in dismal living conditions. That is something that needs to change. It should be a top priority for the government of the United States of America to take care of those who have served and defended this great nation. Not doing so is a slap in the face as to all of the dedication, hard work and the service that our veterans have been involved in. 

While I do believe that the intelligence agencies of the United States should never be political and should never be subjected to political influence, I do support “non-political” congressional oversight, as appropriate, into the operations and the activities of the intelligence agencies of the United States. While all of the “non-political” congressional oversight into the operations and that activities of the intelligence agencies of the United States should not always be open to the public, I do support the intelligence congressional committees conducting hearings, public and private and on the record, into reforms that are needed to be made to the intelligence agencies of the United States and into the intelligence agencies operations. I believe that oversight helps prevent abuses from occurring and I also believe that oversight helps ensure that all are held accountable as far as their actions are concerned. Therefore, I sincerely believe that the intelligence community needs “non-political” oversight by the intelligence congressional committees of the United States.

Something that I would like to see the United States Intelligence Congressional Committees accomplish in the future is talking down both the majority and the minority website and just working on the same sight. Just as to how I believe that the intelligence community of the United States does not need to be politicial, I believe that the United States Intelligence Congressional Committees should never be politicial. Politicial based oversight over the United States Intelligence Community is extremely dangerous because I believe that regardless as to what politicial party a U.S Senator or that a U.S Representative is, I believe that once something involves an intelligence agency that the politicial party of an individual should go out of the door. 

Members of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America work extremely hard as to protecting and defending the United States of America. All members of that governmental agency should be appreciated by the government in which they serve and all of them should be treated fairly, humane and with dignity and respect. Officers of the Clandestine Service of the Central Intelligence Agency should not be required to perform tasks that threaten their health or in some cases their safety. 

Ms. Sabrina De Sousa, an ex. agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, is a perfect example as to a person who had her back turned to when a rendition operation that she was invovled in went wrong in Italy. Employees of U.S Intelligence Agencies that are serving overseas should not have their backs turned against them by the government of the United States of America if their approved operations go wrong. Helping protect and defend the U.S from their enemies is a risky business and all employees of U.S intelligence agencies should be supported when they are overseas. 

  

     

 

I strongly believe that public servants should always be held accountable as for their actions and conduct. As in regards to the actions and conduct of police officials, I believe that the United States Department of Justice needs to analyze data as to incidents in which unarmed individuals are shot by police officials and analyze videos of excessive force used by police officials.  Proscutors need to do a better job as to making sure that police officials who break the law are held accountable through strict prosecution.  If local proscutors refuse to do so, the United States Department of Justice needs to make sure that their is a proper administration of justice.
