Notes
immigeration-use biometric data to better track foreign travelers, only legal immigrants through tightly controlled borders, amnesty encourages illegal immigration
minimum wage-"an increase in the minimum wage would discourage employers from hiring workers and would hinder people in the early stages of their careers from gaining skills and advancing"
health care-"government-run universal health care leads to inefficiencies" "a reformed medicare will give seniors choice and flexibility." "give individuals tools to manage their own health needs" "allow customization of insurance, support health centers" http://www.ontheissues.org/celeb/republican_party_health_care.htm
taxes-"cut taxes to stimulate economy and help families" "tax cuts and low interest rates lead to home ownership" "repeal death tax and give tax break to care for elderly"
military spending- "U.S. needs comprehensive missile defense system" "Eliminate as many nuclear weapons as possible" http://www.ontheissues.org/celeb/Republican_Party_Defense.htm
