This is a listing of some major issues as found from previous votes and other statements from the candidates. Randy Hultgren and Joe Walsh are listed as the new 14th Congressional District encompasses much of their previous respective districts (copied over from the 2012 election, the only overlap Hultgren and I have is possibly the Patiot Act (hey might have it chaged to be legal for all i know, I'll repleal it outright - and the current issue of Syria, he's against it, as am I - the next question should be why we are against it for what reasons).

I am glad to see we are out of Iraq, but we need to remove am am glad to reieve ourselves from the occupation of Afghanistan, I will not vote for any continued [active] presence there, beyond funds for removing troops from theatre.

The 1% are very well represented in Congress as it is, too many times the other 99% are forgotten about or disregarded as not being important enough to worry about, that needs to change. ("47%" may not pay federal imcome tax, but only it's only about "1% "for the reasons opponents are consistantly crowing about - many of those don't make enough to pay on the federal level, but do more than makeup for that shortcoming on State/Local/Excise/usage/sin/etc taxes, change your argument, please).

Corporations are not people. Money is not speech.

Even IF global climate change is not being affected by human activity, having this country be more efficient AND more self-reliant by moving from a carbon based energy policy, it is NOT a bad thing. Having the most profitable corporations in the history of mankind get tax breaks and subsidies needs to end. Now. (to any opponent: please state how much rainfall Syria has had the past 12 months and how that and the pipe-line from Iran to Europe contributes to the uncertanty of actions and outcomes there, for instance).

Ballot access laws (that are mostly state driven) need to allow greater access to candidates that want to run, and to voters who want to participate. Many want to do a noble thing in regards to trying to stop a minuscule amount of voter fraud from happening, but in the process, engage in massive amounts of election fraud and voter disenfranchisement. I've been using computers since the mid eighties, I love what benefit they can provide to a vast and varied amount of peoples and industries; I also know that reports generated from solid data are hard enough to produce accurate output. As I've said in the past "votes aren't bought or sold, they’re given, by voters, in a way that should be easily verifiable and auditable that doesn't include proprietary source code running on uncertified machines with hazy chain-of-control data migration from the local polling place to where they are ultimately counted". I'll take an accurate, but delayed result over an instant, but potentially inaccurate result, any day of the week.
