Patriot Act is misguided-repeal it
Q: Should law enforcement agencies have greater discretion to read mail and email, tap phones, and conduct random searches to prevent future terrorist attacks? A: No. Nolan says, "We should maintain a strong national defense, but resist the
temptation to sacrifice our liberty in the name of security. We should repeal misguided laws like the USA Patriot Act, which weaken our national security by undermining our liberty."

War on Terror has become war on civil liberties
The War on Terror has turned into a war on the individual civil liberties of the American people. Restricting civil liberties are the tactics of the opponents of human liberty an human rights. These tactics are undermining our national security
instead of enhancing it; they have no place in a free society. I propose an immediate restoration of our full civil liberties as a key component of enhancing our national security. Misguided laws like the American Patriot Act should be repealed.

Bring our troops home from 140 countries
We must refrain from intervening in the quarrels of other nations and from making enemies of oppressed people who would otherwise look to America as a beacon of hope and freedom. It's time to bring our troops home
from the more than 140 countries in which they are stationed. It is especially ludicrous for America to be subsidizing the defense of wealthy nations like Germany and Japan, as well as providing 60% of the world's foreign aid.
