Federal Issues Questionnaire

1) When should the U.S. forces leave Iraq and Afghanistan?

Now!

The bulk of U.S. forces should leave soon, but there should be a smaller force left there to combat al Qaeda and other terrorists.

I support the President's stated plans for redeployment from Iraq (end of 2010) and Afghanistan (beginning in mid-2011)

U.S. forces should not leave until we are certain both countries are stable, the terrorists are defeated, and victory is achieved.

Other/Undecided

2) Which statement best fits your views on U.S. foreign assistance programs?

None

3) The President is seeking to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and to prohibit coercive methods of interrogation. Which best fits your views?

The President needs to reverse more Bush administration policies, and Congress should repeal much of the Patriot Act which infringes on our rights

The President's policies are a mistake. He is sacrificing security to protect the "civil rights" of terrorists
