19th Senate –Wendy Jones Launches website
Jul 13th, 2009 by David Anderson
The cyberspace side of the 19th has heated up. Candidate Wendy Jones has launched a website called Delaware Liberty. I encourage you to drop by it. No, that is not an endorsement.
To all candidates in the 19th: If you send it, I will post it here or on the First Draft page.
Here are Wendy Jones’ top 10 issues.
Petition/Referendum: As your state senator, Wendy pledges to support the introduction of the use of petition and referendum on the ballot; in the meantime, Wendy pledges to sponsor and introduce any legislation supported by a certain percentage of the registered voters within the area involved.
Prevailing Wage: Replace the current process with a competitive, sealed-bid procedure by private industries, promoting fair market value for your hard earned tax dollars.
Gun Control: “In my opinion, gun control should be defined as a steady aim. What part of ’shall not be infringed’ do they not understand? The Second Amendment guarantees the rest, being necessary to the security of a free state, and as a last resort against tyranny in government.” – Wendy Jones
School Vouchers: Citizens have the right to choose how and where their children are educated, whether it be public, private, charter, parochial, or home. Furthermore, their school tax dollars should be applied to whichever is their choice. Those citizens having no eligible children should pay no school taxes.
Tenth Amendment: Fight to restore and defend the state’s and people’s rights as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution in the face of a virtual irrelevance by our centralized national government.
Term Limits:Wendy proposes that no elected office be held for over two consecutive terms without vacating that position for a third term, after would they will be free to run for that office again. She includes herself in that proposal.
Illegal Immigration: Enhance and expand enforcing existing laws, by maximizing fines and other sanctions against offending employers.
Property Rights: The right to private ownership of property is the basic foundation on which this country was built. There can be no better stewards than those private owners; land is not inherited from our ancestors but borrowed from our children.
Gay Marriage: I oppose all government interference between the freedom of choice for consenting adults to freely contract within the sanctity of their home and their church.
I have added your email address to my press release list.
Thanks, David, for having the courtesy to post Wendy’s site, as well as the class to be willing to post everybody’s.
All serious candidates deserve serious consideration not just the one that I support. I think the fact that Ms. Jones is a business woman who has been active fighting for our constitution is a real plus. We have a variety of readers not just partisans of one side or the other therefore we must recognize all points of view in an election. If I don’t respect others, why would they respect me?
Each person should make an informed decision based upon their values, strategy, and issues. Hopefully, I can make the case that my guy best achieves those objectives for most readers. That should be done by information not ignorance.
Thank you both for the comments.
