Topic > On Education, Healthcare, and Drug Reform

My primary topics are on education, healthcare, and drug reform. Education is important everywhere, children are our future and it all starts with a good education. Another is healthcare; everyone should have the opportunity to receive good healthcare. No one should be denied healthcare because of their job or how much they earn. My latest issue is drug reform; drugs can be good and bad based on how they are used. Ken Cuccinelli believes that all Virginia children, regardless of the color of their skin, where they live or how much money their parents earn, deserve the opportunity to receive a world-class education. To ensure all of our students get the best education possible, we must give parents the ability to determine the best academic environment for their child's education. A child should not be forced to attend an inadequate or unsafe school. Despite Virginia's overall success, not all Virginia students have the opportunity to receive a quality education. There are many communities in Virginia where students struggle to keep up with their peers across the state. Ken believes healthcare costs continue to grow at an unsustainable rate, which not only harms families but also presents a significant challenge to our state government. He opposes the new healthcare reform and wants to change it as it was before. He firmly believes that healthcare should be up to doctors or families, not the government. Our healthcare system is full of rules and regulations that make health insurance more expensive and healthcare less accessible. A reformed system would provide better care to Virginians while saving taxpayer dollars. Cuccunelli is open to all options and says that if we had to fight pot or meth he... middle of paper... .capable of picking up a child even if he lives outside the city limits. Every school should be required to become safer, to upgrade their security with new doors, locks and security systems. All schools should be free to attend, regardless of the type of school. Some of the tax money should be allocated to sports and other activities. Parents' tax money should be used for books, paper and pencils. We should legalize marijuana because it would be a great tax for Virginia, it would also help with jobs. Marijuana did not cause death like other drugs; our drug reform should include better regulations on pills, so that pills are not sold illegally. If you get caught with illegal drugs you should go to prison. We should focus on drugs that kill and cause long-term harm. The punishment for selling illegal drugs should be worse, the harsher the punishment, perhaps the less harsh it will be.
