Interviews of the Virginia 5th District Candidates
Freshman Democrat Tom Perriello, who currently “represents” the 5th district, won his last election on the coat tails of Obama and a misleading advertising campaign about the Fair Tax and the Republican incumbent’s support it. He ran commercials claiming that Republican incumbent Virgil Goode wanted to raise everyone’s sales tax by 23%. It’s true that the Fair Tax consists of a 23% sales tax, but in his commercials, Perriello conveniently left out the fact that the Fair Tax would abolish all other taxes including the income tax. Rep. Perriello has also voted for the Stimulus bill, the Cap and Trade bill, and the House version of the Health Care bill. Needless to say, those of us in the 5th district want him out. He does not represent our conservative Virginia values and is a reliable vote for the liberal agenda of President Obama and Speaker Pelosi. We need a strong conservative to run against Perriello and become a reliable vote for liberty and a protector of the Constitution.
There a currently 7 candidates vying for the Republican nomination to challenge Perriello in the November election. I have sent all of them emails asking if they would be interested in an interview that would be posted on this site. I would like some reader input on questions to ask the candidates. I welcome input from not just those in the 5th district of Virginia but from all of my readers, because the winner of this election will be voting on national issues. Please leave any questions you would like to ask the candidates in the form of a comment at the bottom of this post, and I will incorporate them into the interviews. Do you want to know how they would vote on tax issues, the environment, health care, the Constitution, terrorism, the proper role of government, or anything else? Here is your chance to ask a potential future member of Congress some questions!

Liberty, you can word a question much better than me, but I’d be interested in his/her opinion on the relationship between government and business, and also our national security.

Liberty,
I would like to know how they plan to seal our borders and how quickly they would move to do so. I would like to know how they plan to take the issuing power from banks and return it to the people, where it rightly belongs.
Respectfully,
Donna Cosmato

I would like to know how the pending bankruptcy of social security can be avoided so I can one day get back at least some of the money that I have paid into the system. I would also like to know if our future Congressman would try to keep the social security administration honest and stop sending out letters claiming that our money is in a trust fund when clearly no trust fund exists.

Ask Ron Ferrin if he is only running in this race to market his business then why doesn’t he do us all a favor and drop out.

Would they be opposed or for an amendment to the Constitution that was worded similar to this:
“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”

Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
Also, health care. Are they completely opposed or would they be willing to negotiate with the Democrats?
