Issues

Campaign themes

2014

Weisser's campaign website lists the following issues:

“	"Reshape Immigration Policies to a) provide safe, controlled ports of entry for undocumented immigrants; b) coordinate the identification and registration of foreign nationals already in the country so they may be documented and taxed; & c) strengthen existing rules regarding the exploitation of undocumented workers, both immigrant and national." "Investigate Wall Street fraud and bank/mortgage fraud which created so much misery in our country, along with the regulators who were supposed to protect us from those folks. Any houses not currently occupied should be returned to their rightful owners. Call for reinstatement of Glass-Steagall, tighter regulation of the derivatives market and greater executive accountability for corporate abuses." "End cannabis prohibition establish a taxation system for its production and sale, Pardon and rehabilitate non-violent prisoners in jail for possession. Promote medical research." "Vastly Increase Education Spending for smaller class sizes, improved school infrastructure, increased arts ed and special services." "Create TVA-style Solar and Wind Power generating networks to reduce dependence on petroleum/gas/coal-based technologies."	”
