Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Chadwick's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Unemployment; A Very Hard Job: Work is much more than just something to be exploited by a boss or company. Work gives fulfillment, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment. Work should provide dignity, respect, and have intrinsic value. People are comforted when they know that their work adequately takes care of their families. Those Darned Immigrants!: The United States is a nation of immigrants! Unless a person is a Native American, everyone has ancestral roots to either slavery or to immigrants who came to the United States for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Mounted inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty is the quote from Emma Lazarus' famous sonnet, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” That’s what the United States is all about. Outlaw Gun Noise!: Guns are everywhere. They are tools that have been used in the United States of America since its founding for hunting, sports, and protection. Militaries have them, police agencies carry them, and private citizens own them. Despite his rhetoric against guns, even Obama trusts the Secret Service to carry them to protect him as president. With more guns than people in the United States, no doubt firearms are here to stay. The Entitlement Trap: Work for Welfare requirements should be instituted to motivate people toward independence. In order to be eligible for government assistance, able bodied people should be required to work at least part-time, volunteer for at least 24 hours per month, pursue education, or get into some sort of vocational training, apprenticeship, or trade program. Refugees and Islam: Intense vetting should be put in place before any refugee is allowed into our country. Currently the vetting process is not adequate, something that even Obama’s own officials admit. Congress therefore must defund and stop the Syrian refugee program entirely until such a time proper vetting protocols are put in place. An even better idea is to create a safe zone in Syria to help protect refugees, and so that they can go home after hostilities end in their country.	”
