PROBLEM: I don't like the label "hawk" since it is used with a negative connotation.  I believe that Rep. Gabbard is a realist.  She understands that our regime change wars have been a total disaster but is also willing to admit the truth about the things that are true threats.  She "gets" ISIS, As-Qaeda, and other "Islamists" or "Jihadists" (both distinct from ordinary Muslims) and the danger they present not only to the West, but also to their fellow Muslims in the Middle East and Africa.  How many people have to be killed by ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, and others before the Western left accepts reality?  Tulsi gets it and for that I am grateful.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: I've lived in the Eugene/Springfield area going back to 1993 when I first settled in Eugene.   And I certainly cannot remember the RG ever not endorsing any tax increase or new taxes, no matter how outlandish or excessive they were.  

That includes both the 2011 Eugene City Income Tax proposal for schools  ( which was soundly defeated ), and also the Monthly Eugene City Fee ( defeated in 2013 ).   The RG supported the 2007 County Income Tax proposal too, which 71% of the voters voted against.

The Register Guard clearly believes that the public should be taxed much heavier.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: As a nurse in 1972 when I graduated from nursing school we had preventive health care as the focus of all patient care, the first line of defense by using health education and reliable treatment of chronic diseases to prevent hospitalizations.   We had the medical delivery system in place to achieve this goal. The hospital system in the big city I lived in had "satellite" clinics all over in community neighborhoods, I worked as a student in several of them. My point is that I am for "managed" care which is the new term for this older method of delivering health care to people,  so I support this because it saves not only money but peoples health and lives, and if you don't have your health...... however I have a deep concern about Alaska having worked the medical care delivery system in place and been a patient of for years, do the communities have in place the resources they need to deliver this type of care or will it all be in the larger cities which is a burden to some residents?

SOLUTION:
No
