Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Gun Control: Firstly: Re-start assault rifle ban (expired 2004 ) and halt sales to people on "watch list"/"no-fly list"
  • Fixing the web!: There’s no excuse anymore. There need to be criminal penalties for hacking maliciously, tampering with emails, and other breaches of online communication and private properties. This is no different than a person walking down Main Street jiggling doorknobs at night, trying to gain entry – if seen, they’d be arrested.
  • Using the web to make life easier: When any large corporation interacts with the public, an option should be to use the Web
  • Jobs: Sometimes high unemployment and low incomes have been seen as significantly contributing factors to crime, so I’d move for targeted jobs with community and national service. Together, we can target the jobs and not target or blame the people who suffer from numerous socioeconomic factors.
  • Government corruption of Rep. Carolyn Maloney: Six years ago (7/19/2010), Rep. Maloney refused to pass on information about a federal judge who violated the law that has 20 years in prison, about attempting to influence the communication of a possible federal crime to the US Marshal.
