Sam Kephart on Homeland Security

Republican Senate Challenger

Attack fraud & cut pork in bloated military contracts

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "More spending on armed forces"?

A: Neutral. I do not support the bloated, non-bid and earmark method for much military contract work. I think more can be done with less by attacking fraud and cutting "pork".

The Patriot Act is potentially very dangerous

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "The Patriot Act harms civil liberties"?

A: Yes, I believe it does, and is a cram down for control of our population, i.e., less freedom. Potentially very dangerous.
