Campaign themes

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

“
  • Political Corruption: In recent years, the great city of Chicago and the state of llinois have once again fallen victim to rampant political corruption, abuses of office, and deterioration of the public trust in the elected officials charged with safeguarding our streets, restoring our economic vitality, and guaranteeing our future interests.
  • Health Care Reform: Dr. Marshall knows how important health care is, and looks to continue the reform under the Affordable Care Act. He hopes to continue to increase the number of ensured by expanding coverage and decreasing the Medicare age to 62.
  • LGBT Issues: Dr. Marshall has defended the rights of the LGBT community to marry during the last campaign for senate in 2009. This year, he will continue to campaign to further the rights of the LGBT community.
  • Energy and Environment: Now more than ever, energy independence is an integral part of our national security. Gone are the days when the cost of our reliance on foreign oil could be measured with the dollar sign. In these times, our dependence on foreign oil endangers our security, our national stability, and our standing in the world community. To decrease our dependence on foreign oil, Robert Marshall supports green initiatives, alternative fuel sources, and research in sustainable energies. Of course, we must strike a balance between environmental concerns and the cost of American jobs. Robert Marshall believes that American ingenuity can bring about a sustainable, ecologically responsible economy, which can provide employment opportunities for all.
  • Economic Recovery: When big companies get themselves into financial trouble, the Federal Government bails them out. When your small business comes upon hard times, who is there to help you? Where does the help come from? Robert Marshall believes that sometimes, when big businesses fail, we have to allow them to proceed through bankruptcy. There cannot be one set of laws and policies for the rich and powerful, and yet another for the average, hard-working American.
