Campaign themes
2014
Meschke's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | PRIVACY RIGHTS & GOVERNMENT SPYING
Americans should be protected from warrantless searches or seizures. Data collection of any kind without consent or search warrant is unconstitutional. I believe more time should be spent protecting our borders and creating jobs than spying on Americans. LGBT: SEXUAL PREFERENCE & IDENTITY HEALTH CARE People should not be forced to buy anything through force or taxation. I believe if someone requires medical attention and cannot pay for what they receive, a payment plan should be set up with the provider. FARMING & GMO’S Labeling of GMO products allows for informed customers and allows the free market to decide what consumers want to support. MINIMUM WAGE Most jobs people acquire early on are often lower-paying. By raising the minimum wage, the unintended consequences as evidence in a Washington State survey*, means jobs go elsewhere. If we steal the opportunities from our youth, what awaits them?[2][3] |
