Paul Chehade 2016 - Trade Issues:

In  evaluating the effectiveness of our national trade policy, a look at  our trade surpluses, or rather, deficits, provides a most telling  answer. Our deficits for the past 16 years have crossed the six  billion dollar mark, and the deficit with China alone accounted for  almost half of it, at 270 billion. As our economists struggle to  explain these staggering numbers, China has quietly accumulated in  excess of two trillion dollars worth of foreign exchange reserves  during the same period.

This  imbalances of our trade deficit, along with the inherent  disadvantages that our manufacturers and industries face owing to our  labor and environmental policies, that is not being asked of their  foreign competitors, are just some of the more pertinent issues that  needs to be tackled by our presidential candidates before we even  move to issues involving North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)  and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

• I think that globalization is here and if we don’t take advantage of trade opportunities we’ll pay a price.

• I believe that business leaders, not diplomats, should negotiate trade agreements for the US.

• I would use tough negotiations instead of protectionism.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Taxes:

As  the debate over the national tax policy begins to take center stage  yet again, observers have noted that there will be more cases of  lawmakers breaking ranks within their own party over the issue in the  coming months.

We  look forward to more bipartisan compromises in future, as we have  seen over the years how ideological differences have seen  consistently landed the country with the second or third best tax  solutions, instead of the most worthy ones.

• I think taxes are a necessary evil if people want services such as roads, libraries, local and federal government protection and other amenities.

• I believe that the tax code should be simplified. Is seriously in need of overhaul for the sake of the economy.

• High property taxes discourage people from improving their property.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Stem Cell Research:

Stem cell research has seen its  potential for progress being curtailed drastically by a myriad of  political, religious and ethical issues – and there is even  opposition from within the medical community itself – which led to  the banning of embryonic stem cell research by former President Bush,  which was later revoked by President Obama in 2009.

Proclaimed  as possessing the potential to provide the cure for deadly diseases  such as cancer and spinal cord injuries, the concept revolves around  the idea that infusion of stem cells into the body of victims will  compel the regeneration of damaged cells.

The  controversy over this technology is centered on origin of the stem  cells, as the cells are most easily harvested from human fetus. The  fear is that people may begin to grow fetuses for the express reason  of harvesting the stem cells, and in the process, murdering the  technically human fetus.

• I think that research on stem cells, both fetal and adult, should be unrestricted.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Social Security:

A  brainchild of the late German Chancellor, Otto von Bismark in the  late 19th  century, calls to privatize Social Security have been gaining  strength in recent years, mainly by conservatives and Republicans,  painting a picture of the lack of sustainability of the program  without continuous tax increase and benefits reduction, owing to the  declining birth rates of the country, which is crucial in the  pay-as-you-go model of the program.

This  is countered by the liberals and democrats, citing Paul Krugman, our  economic Nobel Laureate, who maintains that an additional revenue  injection of 0.54% of the national GDP, which is less than 3% of our  annual Federal spending, is sufficient to cope with any potential  systemic decline in the number of contributors and maintain a healthy  long term status of the program that is currently aiding over 53  million Americans every month.

• I think that the Social Security program has been looted by unethical politicians.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Same Sex Issues:

Our  Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 that prohibits  giving recognition to same sex marriages. The decision received  widespread approval among American citizens at the time, with many  citing morality and religion as the primary consideration behind  their decision. Fast forward almost 15 years later, and a completely  different picture emerges.

• I believe there is no reason to discriminate against anyone because of their sexual orientation.  However,  I believe it best  to allow the general population, to decide on the issue of same sex marriage, by casting their individual votes, as has already been done in several states, rather than to rely on the personal decision or a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. 

• So far, only five (5) states (Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont) allows the registration of same sex marriage.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Puerto Rico:

The approved law 600 (P.L. 81-600) by the United States Congress granted the people of Puerto Rico the authority to develop their own State Constitution, like other states, giving them control of their internal governmental activities. Nevertheless, this law has left intact several of the articles under the Jones Law and the Foraker Law, as well as the Paris Treaty (1898). After the Constituent Assembly writes the Constitution, the people ratifies it by means of a referendum. The United States Congress, following the procedure required by the Federal Relations law, approved the Constitution which went into effect on July 25, 1952. During this year, the political community named Commonwealth was established.

It is important to clarify that, even though the Federal Congress has granted the people of Puerto Rico the power to create their local Constitution, it has not revoked the territorial status of the island of Puerto Rico, being until today subject to the plenary powers of Congress.

The republican format of the government mimics the United States Constitution. A governor is in charge of the executive branch, while the two legislative chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives comprise the legislative branch. The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is the last appellate court in the majority of the judicial cases.

Puerto Rico maintains its territorial status within the U.S. Constitution. The U. S. Supreme Court has indicated that Puerto Rico belongs to, but it is not part of the United States.  Therefore, Puerto Rico was constituted as a territory of the United States when the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was created.

The debate regarding the political status of Puerto Rico has been continuous in many local spheres, federal (United States) and international (United Nations). In 2007, a working committee from the White House concluded that Puerto Rico continues to be subject to the authority of the U. S. Congress under the territorial clause.

The new administration of President Obama has ratified in its more recent report, that Puerto Rico continues to be subject to the authority of the Federal Congress. Furthermore, it mentions that the present status does not provide any possibilities for the development of power due to the legal structure of the Federal Constitution, thus reaffirming that one of the options to decolonize is to become independent. The Popular Democratic Party, which founded the commonwealth, reiterates that in 1952 there was a pact between Puerto Rico and the United States that conferred Puerto Rico an autonomous government and excluded it from the list of colonies of the United Nations. The UN Decolonization Committee adopted in October 2008, as an humanitarian effort, a resolution presented by Cuba that ratifies the right of the people of Puerto Rico to free will and independence and requests the United States to accelerate the process in order for the Puerto Ricans to exercise that right.

Based on the history of Puerto Rico and having observed the lack of Federal union to work out certain subjects of common interest, I firmly believe in dialog, far beyond the dialog already accomplished by other Presidents and/or candidates with the people of Puerto Rico. Their feelings, their thoughts and wishes should be heard by the American government. It is not enough to send thousands of young men born in the island as soldiers to every American war. A community is more and should be more than that. Their votes should be heard when Washington is making decisions regarding matters that equally affect a citizen of New York as well as a citizen of Puerto Rico such as health, education, governmental aid, military deployment to name a few of the issues that the people of Puerto Rico presently endures.

I wish for the people of Puerto Rico to be able to take the reigns of their destiny. I wish for them to be able to make decisions in the matters that involve them directly. It is important to be aware of their needs first hand before making decisions that could be harming to their people. I will personally pay attention to the requests of the Puerto Rican people. The American dream has not being realized together and I am not going to be the one turning my back to such noble people. My heart is with you and your history and my government will follow suit.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Prescription Drugs:

The  National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) contends that up to 20%  Americans have illicitly consumed prescription drugs in their  lifetime. Even more disturbing, NIDA’s Monitoring The Future survey  discovered that over 9% of 12th-graders have consumed Vicodin without  a valid prescription in the past year alone!.

The  abuse of prescription drugs is a major source of concern among the  medical community, as the issue has consistently been overlooked by  the authorities in favor of the more high profile psychoactive drugs  such as cocaine, heroin and their derivatives. This is despite the  fact that abuse of prescription drugs stands just behind marijuana as  the most reported cases of substance abuse in North America. The easy  availability of prescription drugs means that the problem is not one  that is going away anytime soon, and we look forward to how our  candidates intends to tackle the issue.

• I believe that prescription drugs should be supplied if people can’t afford them.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Poverty:

Poverty  conveys the impression of individuals and families struggling to  afford basic sustenance, shelter and education. Nothing that we  should be concerned about then, since our status as the richest  country in the world precludes the possibility of poverty existing in  our society. Right? No. Really.

Based  on the latest CPS ASEC survey, the United States Census Bureau has  estimated that the official American poverty rate stands at an  incredible 14.3%, the highest since the survey begun 51 years ago.  There are 43.6 million Americans that live below the poverty line. In  other words, one in seven Americans are unable to properly feed,  cloth, shelter and educate themselves and their families.

These  disturbing numbers are not a one off, in case anyone is wondering.  The numbers have been steadily declining for years, and the worst  part is, the poverty rate among children under the age of 18 is  20.7%. That’s one in five of our kids, the very same ones who will  inherit the country.

• I think that education is the key to the opportunity to escape poverty.

• I think poverty means malnutrition, poor grades, poor education and has long term consequences.  Improving education is essential to defeating poverty.

• I believe that communities should work together instead of depending on public assistance.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Palestinian Issue:

The suffering of Palestinians and Israelis is a serious problem that must deal with sensitivity and justice and give an end to this, so that both peoples can live together in peace and security as a brother country.

• The Israelis must acknowledge that the right of Israel to exist can not be denied, neither can the Palestine.

• Israelis and Palestinians must make concessions to allow a Palestinian state.

• The only solution to resolve the decades-long conflict is the creation of two states, where Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

• For both parties, that means they must abandon violence. Resistance through violence does not succeed.

• My position is that it must abide by each and every one of the United Nations resolutions.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - North Korea:

Despite  the numerous incentives that the American administration have offered  Pyongyang as an inducement over the years, they have remained  obdurately unyielding in their desire to retain their nuclear  arsenal. North Korea reiterated their belief that their nuclear  arsenal is the only security guarantee they have against the evil  partnership of the Americans and their South Korean brethrens.

It  bears reminding that North Korea is possibly one of the poorest  nations on earth, and with their failed economy, widespread chronic  food shortage and amidst reports of unrest among the populace, Kim’s  stance is indicative of the siege and persecuted mentality he is said  to possess.

However,  similar to Cuba, with the impending withdrawal of the Great Leader,  Kim Jong Ill, from the frontlines owing to health concerns, the is a  surge of optimism in the air among the participants of the Six-Party  talks and there is genuine hope that a resolution to this sixty year  conflict can be resolved.

• I would stop all North Korean missile launches, by force if necessary.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - National Security:

• I realized that some changes had to be made in order to prevent terrorists from instigating any more tragedies on American soil.

• Homeland Security should be funded selectively according to which targets have the most danger quotient.

• The National security of the United States of America is being threatened from many different sources today, including but not limited to these 5 sources:

1) The National debt.
2) Illegal immigration.
3) Terrorism from within our borders.
4) Terrorism from outside our borders.
5) Unprotected borders and the drug cartels.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Minimum Wage:

Maintaining a  capitalistic, supply and demand system to shape the national wage  structure has always been the mantra of business owners here since  the first call for a national minimum wage appeared in the 1930's.  There is a prevalent argument that a minimum wage system is a symbol  of a welfare state or socialism, and it impedes on the operational  efficiency of businesses. In addition, there is a fear that a high  across the board increase of wages will result in downsizing, as  businesses struggles to maintain their bottom line

Of course, on  the flip side, advocates of the national minimum wage points out that  too often businesses hide behind the profitability argument, ignoring  the fact that people must be fairly compensated for their  contributions to a company, and not expected to sacrifice for large  enterprises. Asking workers to accept lower wages is akin to asking  the average worker to bear the burden of subsidizing the running  costs of big businesses. There is also the fear that businesses often  engage in a cartel like behavior to set an 'appropriate'; wage  structure, thus denying market forces from determining the correct  wage level. It is also worth noting that the last national minimum  wage increase was back in 1997, during the Clinton administration.

• The minimum wage is too low but that’s not new to anyone. Unfortunately it’s called minimum for a reason. It’s the least amount they are allowed to pay you. It really should be more.

• Does not favor a proposed constitutional amendment that would increase the minimum wage for inflation annually.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Marijuana:

As  the 74 year old prohibition against marijuana enter its last leg, a  legal marijuana industry suddenly doesn’t appear to be a pipe dream  any longer. In fact, in a referendum held last November, California  nearly became the first state to break the status quo and legalize  marijuana. Advocates are already predicting the prospect of a domino  effect among the other states in the near future.

While  medical marijuana has been legal in fourteen states in the United  States for as back as two decades, it is a hugely restrictive process  and highlights complicated jurisdictional processes it is currently  beholden to.
       
Opponents  have expressed their concerns over the anticipated effects resulting  from such a move – socially, economically and legally – and the  potential for it to become a gateway drug. Advocates however points  at the successful national drug policy of the Netherlands, where  legalization of marijuana has seen crime rates plummet and the low  levels of drug related crimes, coupled with the fact that marijuana  has never killed anyone through direct consumption.

• I think that legalizing marijuana would increase drug problems and crime.

• I believe that strong anti-drug laws are needed.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Latin America:

The United States has always had a special conception of its relationship with the nations of Latin America.

In the Cold War era the U.S. establishment feared socialism and in some cases overthrew or undermined democratically elected governments perceived at the time as becoming left-wing or unfriendly to U.S. interests. Examples include the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and the support of the Nicaraguan Contras. The '70s and '80s saw a shift of power towards corporations, and a polarization of the political election systems of many of the Latin American nations. Recently, several left-wing parties have gained power through elections and have not been attacked. In particular Venezuela has been critical of U.S. foreign policy. Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Ecuador currently have governments sometimes seen as aligned with Venezuela. Left-wing governments in nations such as Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay are more centrist. The right-wing governments in Chile, Peru, and Colombia have closer relations with the U.S.

• I think we should have better relationship with Latin American Countries  to work together for prosperity of our  future. We must work together regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Israel:

The  decades of diplomatic initiatives by the United States, also the principal ally of the Jewish state, for a peaceful resolution for the conflict has continued to be unsuccessful, although analysts have pointed out the grudging, although gradual acceptance among the Arab nations of Israel’s right to exist, which stands in stark contrast  to the earlier pledges of annihilating the Jewish nation.

As  the Israelis continue to trumpet its ancestral and biblical rights for this land, the Palestinians are equally vociferous in their claim, backed by legal and historical precedents.

• I believe that Israel has every right to exist and I support it without reservation.

• I think peace talks can’t start until everyone puts down their arms and the international community needs to insist on this.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Iraq:

Our  successful, if not a little questionable and not to mention widely  perceived to be illegal, toppling of Saddam Hussein and liberation of  Iraq in 2003 were followed by a spectacularly unsuccessful, and much  more questionable, attempt at finding Weapons of Mass Destruction in  Iraq. Following the euphoric celebrations of freeing a country from  an oppressive dictatorship, more than seven years later, we are still  deeply mired in Iraq.

With  over 650 billion spent since then, our 50,000 remaining troops there  is still massively taxing our ailing economy, and despite several  assurances, withdrawal of our forces from there is still not a  feasible option, as the young democracy of Iraq is still dependent on  us to maintain a semblance of order in the country. A sudden  departure by our troops will create a vacuum that will quickly be  filled with militias and more worryingly, the Al-Qaeda. An exit  strategy is needed badly, and the candidate with a credible  withdrawal plan can expect to score some massive plus points with the  American public.

• Once the region is under control and the government is stable a withdrawal should begin.

• If we are to grow as a race then we need to put aside these petty differences and grow up. There is more to this world then you alone. You need to think as a race not as a person. That’s race as in Human Race. The race is better off working together, even if the people don't like each other. It’s called maintaining the peace. We can only be peaceful world if we work together at it, not separately.

• My question is, why are we fighting their war?

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Immigration:

It’s  a simple question really. Do we continue with the immigration  friendly policy that has been the hallmark of our history and the  secret behind our astonishing success as a nation, or, do we stop in  favor of protecting our citizens from a multitude of threats, ranging  from economic to theology?

The  question has became an even bigger issue in the aftermath of the 9/11  attacks, where the 2002 Homeland Security Act decreed that the United  States Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) be placed under  the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, who in turn,  included immigration under its wide ranging security policy. In an  immediate turn of events, the INS was broken up into two separate  entities, the Bureau  of Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Bureau of  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE), responsible for inbound  and outbound travel respectively.

USCIS  and BICE, along with their political masters in Washington, walks a  fine line between the reality of economic interdependence,  sociological ethics and security considerations, as we all watch with  bated breath from the sidelines while our new national identity is  forged in plain view to the rest of the world.

• I believe that every nation must have a secure border but we must also recognize that we do need immigrants.

• I think that amnesty should be given to those illegal immigrants already in the country.

• There should be quick and comprehensive immigration reform to enable a faster, simpler path to citizenship.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Health Care:

At  its very essence, a republican believes that the rights of an  individual is paramount to the well being of a nation, so long as it  doesn’t trampled on the rights of another individual, whereas a  democrat believes that the collective welfare of the society is the  most crucial aspect of a country, and is prepared to forfeit the  individual for the sake of the country.

Therein  lies the crux of the controversy behind the Health Care Reform Bill  which was signed by President Barack Obama on March 23rd, 2010. While  the Democrats aims to expand the coverage of the plans to as many  Americans as possible, the Republicans are aghast at the socialistic  nature of the bill, where redistribution of costs is seen as  ultimately punishing the privileged.

• I would provide more federal funding for health and nutrition education.

• The medical system requires amend and reformed.

• Health care is about getting help when you need it. There has to be a way to help everyone without ripping off half the population. We just have to find it and not have it shoved down our throats. It isn’t something that can be decided in a month or a year, it will take time.

• Forcing someone to get insurance or fining them if they don't is just wrong. Its beyond wrong really. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need insurance though because people would help you because they can. But then we are nowhere near a perfect world.

• You can’t force people to go to the doctor or make them take medication, goes back to the whole personal choice and civil liberties.

• It’s not right to want to charge the healthy more money.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Gun Control:

Supporters  of gun control believe that the National  Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968 are ineffective  in curbing the rampant proliferation and misuse of firearms in  society. More to the point, the easy access of weapons to high-risk  individuals, youths and criminals puts the safety of the law-abiding  segments of the population under unnecessary and unfair risks of  personal harm. They advocate the tightening of regulation in firearms  procurement, especially in the face of rising crime rates. The recent  spate of mass killings in country have seen increased calls for more  stringent regulations in the sales and distribution of firearms.  Statistics from the Center For Disease Control have shown a  disturbing increase in firearms related deaths to about 30,000  annually, and it shows no signs of abating.

The  Second Amendment.

A  well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed.”

Gun  control opposition meanwhile points to their right to bear arms, as  enshrined in the Second Amendment, and any attempts to deny them this  infringes upon their constitutional right as citizens. Their position  was further reinforced by a High Court ruling in 2008, which asserts  the rights of private citizens to bear arms. Furthermore, the  firearms industry lobbyist claims that there is no correlation  between guns and increased rates in crimes and fatalities, citing the  media, drugs and the socioeconomic factors as a more likely cause.  The National Rifle Association (NRA) also argues that increased  regulations would potentially leave more families defenseless against  dangerous elements of the society, endangering them further.

• I support enforcing gun laws at the time of sale with background checks and educated vendors.

• I would confiscate illegally owned guns and guns that are illegal for civilians to own.

• I believe that assault weapons should be banned, “who needs them except criminals and police?”

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Gulf of Mexico Cleanup:

We propose a solution to this tragedy by making available new technologically advanced equipment from Italy that will effectively clean the sand and sea of the Gulf of Mexico and I also mentioned that one of the most important Italian Conglomerates is in financial position to invest in the eradication of the Florida coast contamination.

This oil spillage has already decimated the economy and the marine life of a large costal area in the Gulf of Mexico. This damage will continue to grow exponentially in other areas of the Gulf of Mexico and in the coast of Florida.

The real problem of oil spillages in the coastal areas, is when the oil spillage reaches the shores, this will damage and destroy the economy of the areas. Today that no entity in charge or the media has mentioned the truly profound consequences of the tragic BP oil spill event. The oil spill contamination is not only destroying the Gulf of Mexico's marine life for many decades, but it will increase the risk of cancer and other serious diseases that could be fatal to the population of the affected four states of the union due to toxic acid rain. Acid rain will be one of the direct consequences of this devastating accident due to the evaporation of the polluted waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

In Spain in 2002 we had a similar problem with the Prestige spillage accident. This problem was never solved because of the government bureaucracy. Today we have a national catastrophe in which you have demonstrated to be aware and ready to do whatever is necessary to solve the problem.

We work in the decontamination and bioremediation in Europe and around the world. We have already made tests to clean the Florida's Everglades of its contamination with satisfactory results. The expenses to do this were covered entirely by our group of companies, AAA Construction & Development and Vanguard Technologies.

We propose to clean the areas, the sand and the vegetation "In Site" with Biodegradable  Chemicals MPCD and Biological Acceptable Products BIOSINFO that are Environmentally Friendly to accelerate the process of Biodegradation. To do that we need heavy machinery to mix the products with the soil and sand and a lot of hand labor "In Site", this way we solve two problems: - The Contamination and the Unemployment in the area. The machinery we propose is to treat the contaminated  residual to leave  the place clean and in its original condition. The most important is to avoid the necessity to transfer the contaminated material to the chemical landfill.

The effects of Acid Rain in Humans:  Acid Rain looks, feels, and tastes just like clean rain. The harm to people from acid rain is not direct. However, the pollutants that cause acid rain, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) do damage human health. These gases interact in the atmosphere to form fine sulfate and nitrate particles that can be transported by the wind, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles and are inhaled deep into people's lungs. Fine particles can also penetrate indoors. The result is drying of the skin and bacterial infection. This can be unsightly and deadly.

How does Acid Rain affect humans? Many scientific studies have identified a relationship between elevated levels of fine particles and increased illness and premature death from heart and lung disorders, respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis, dry coughs, headaches, eye, nose, throat irritations and damage or lungs.

It can cause liver problems and can give you diarrhea. High mercury content can be deadly. The mercury is held in certain organs and tissues of fish and does not directly affect them, but the mercury can be linked to cause brain damage in children along with nerve disorders. Aluminum, which can also be present, leads to kidney problems and to be related to Alzheimer's disease.

The final effect on humans is to our drinking water. As the content of our water becomes more acidic, it can react with lead and copper water pipes, which eventually contaminate our water. Too much copper in drinking water also causes kidney damage as well as liver damage. - What are some of the indirect effects of acid rain? Acid rain adversely affects lakes and streams, forests and other vegetation, When the soil becomes toxic it is nearly impossible for us to plant our crops. Crops will either die or become toxic. If we consume these unhealthy crops, we will most likely get sick or even die.


God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Guantanamo:

An isolated US navy base in Guantanamo Bay was converted to a detention camp on October 7, 2001, specifically for holding enemy combatants’ in our War On Terror.  More crucially however, the Justice Department has declared that the  camp falls outside the jurisdiction of the United States, and former President Bush announced that detainees there would not be accorded  the privileges accorded to war prisoners as detailed in the Geneva  Convention.

Guantanamo has been the scene of some of the worst human rights violations in the western world in recent  years, and has continually proved to be a legal, political and public  relations nightmare for the country. Nevertheless, defense and  intelligence officials argues strongly that the facility provides  them a great advantage in the ongoing war on terror, and the loss of  it would impede ongoing and future counter-intelligence activities.

President Obama’s pledge to shut down  the facility was one of his major campaign promises, and soon after  taking office, he followed it up with an announcement, assuring the  public that it would be closed within the year. He has yet to fulfill  the promise, with the latest setback being the passing of the  Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2009 by the US Senate, effectively  blocking any federal funding towards prisoner transfers to American  holding facilities.

• I would bring all prisoners before tribunals and give them a fair trial.  Sentence the guilty and set the innocent free.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Energy:

As the oil industry continues to pay  the government almost $100 million daily in royalties and taxes, one  could almost be forgiven for thinking that the good times will never  end, even as Americans collectively hold their breath watching the  rising gasoline prices, amidst fears that it could yet again match  the $3.75 a gallon record.

The continued instability in the  Middles East, the rapidly falling oil reserves worldwide and the lack  of credible alternative sources of energy at present, has cast a  gloom on the future of the country, as national oil consumption has  rose to a record breaking 20 million barrels a day. Our way of life  now is dependent on the grace of others, and is hostage to our  future, despite incremental increase in production and consumption of  the biofuel and gas sectors.
 
• I believe that using our own resources instead of buying from other countries will bring high paying jobs and energy independence.

• We should be using more clean coal, solar power, tertiary oil recovery and our own natural gas.

• I believe in extending tax incentives for energy efficiency.


God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Foreign Affairs:

As  the rise of anti-Americanism across the globe shows no signs of  abating, especially among the Islamic world. America’s foreign  policy, diplomacy and general international relations continues to  suffer from the numerous aggressive stance it has taken in recent  years, most notably on its unilateral war on terror and its rejection  of the Kyoto Protocol.

There  has been a growing consensus that the underlying problem with the  United States foreign policy lies primarily with it's short-term  outlook, resulting in a lack of cohesive long-term strategy. Until  this is addressed and resolved, the short-term outlook remains very  much the same. A radical, yet consultative and bipartisan approach is  required here, and it will be interesting to hear the thoughts of the  candidates on the matter as the race starts to gather pace.

• America should help those who ask but otherwise maintain diplomatic relations and a policy of non-interference.

• Countries want our help they should have something to give in return other than vague promises of 'working toward democracy'.  They need us more than we need them; we should use our leverage to benefit everyone but especially ourselves.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Environment:

Despite only housing 5% of the world  population, we contribute approximate 20% of the world’s  atmospheric pollution, and it is set to increase. The U.S. Energy  Information Administration, in its Annual Energy Outlook (2011)  report, predicted that at its current trajectory, CO2 emissions  primarily from fossil fuels would rise by another 16% in fifteen  years time, irrevocably committing the nation towards the path of  complete environmental failure.

We are staring at the edge of the  precipice now, as our lack of political will in combating the  excesses of our industrial and manufacturing waste is going to, at  the current rate, poison the very air that we breathe in a matter of  decades. Second hand smoke will be looked upon with amusement then,  as CO2 emissions exceeds 1,000 parts per million of our breathable  air. This is an issue that will affect our children in the long run,  and many parents in the United States will be looking at the issue  with concern.

• The environment is one of the most important issues facing everyone today.

• I support conservative-based conservation efforts.

• I think we should reduce liability for hazardous waste cleanup.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Education:

As the chronically underfunded  Californian public school system faces the imminent threat of having  one whole month sliced out of their calendar, owing to massive budget  cuts expected in the state education budget, other public schools  across the country continue to grapple with their own set of  problems, including violence, absenteeism, drug abuse and a myriad of  other issues.

As politicians from both sets of the  divide continue with their rhetoric and drum beatings in their search  of a magic pill could resolve the ever burgeoning crisis affecting  the national education sector, our youths have quietly, but surely,  fallen down the ladder among the developed nations. A recent test  discovered that American children are ranked 25th in  Mathematics and 21st in Science among their foreign peers,  while literacy levels remain unchanged since the first survey was  taken way back in 1971. Our failing education policy will be one of  the most watched issues in the presidential race.

• I am  passionate about education, believing it is the solution to many of our social and economic problems.

• I believes that teachers should be paid extra for their experience.

• Raise teacher salaries and cut bureaucracy.

• Create partnerships with businesses to link students to careers and higher education and give them a real goal that they can see.

• Give teacher and students access to newest technology and individual attention.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Economy:

It  has become evident now that the age of cheap oil that fueled the  American economic explosion of the 20th century has left with the  last bus out of town. In its absence, the pragmatist amongst us  recognize that we will never again replicate those growth figures,  and in the face of our bloated public debts and perpetually  increasing budget deficit, coupled with our now mainly service led  economy, the effects of globalization and the relocation of our  manufacturing centers outside of the country, we are facing a very  credible threat of economic failure, or at the very least, a lengthy  period of negative growth.

Our current  economic model requires an extensive makeover, our failed policies  need a rewrite and our need for an economic giant to lead us out of  this quagmire is dire. To quote the words of the Clinton War Room  personnel, “It’s the economy stupid!”. This will most probably  be the single most defining issue of the coming presidential race.

• Giving tax cuts to businesses to encourage growth and hiring of more workers.

• Abolish marriage penalty and death tax and advocate further tax cuts.

• The economy will improve when the government stops interfering in business matters.  Businesses should not be curtailed by excessive government regulations.

•  In order to get more jobs we need to change our thinking and adaptation. We cannot just bring back jobs that are no longer there so we must create new ones. This means changing our thinking and careers.


God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Deficit:

• The deficit must be paid off.  Taxes may have to be raised but not before every single government program is cut and discretionary spending is frozen.

• The government should look at how the private sector manages its finances and imitate it.

• Reducing the size of government will help reduce our deficit.

• Order a complete audit of the Federal government.

• Stop paying off debt with debt (quantitative easing).


God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Cuba:

From the time of  the Fidel Castro led coup d'état in 1959, Cuba has been at  loggerheads with the United States. Over the years, every American  administration has attempted various diplomatic and economic measures  to destabilize Castro’s grip on power, but none have been  particularly effective. However, there has been a noticeable thawing  in relations between the two countries in recent years, especially  after Castro resigned from his position in February 2008 and handed  the presidency to his brother, Raul.

The biggest  obstacle in influencing a change in existing U.S. strategy concerning  Cuba is the discordant political atmosphere and the contrasting  opinion on the next step in the process. All parties involved appear  to be in agreement over a crucial issue concerning the Cuban  situation: the trade embargo and travel ban have not accomplished the  objective that they were intended for. There is a window of  opportunity here, and with a proper strategy in place, there could  conceivably be a solution in sight.

• The trade embargo on Cuba should be lifted.

• That travel restrictions should be lifted on anyone going to or from Cuba.

• Must be turn in a democratic country.

• I have lived very closely the suffering of the Cuban people, for this and other important reasons I am going to invite the government of Cuba to start the process of restoring the democracy in their country.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Civil Liberties:

The  world has suddenly become a less gracious place, a little less  brighter and a whole lot more intimidating.  Perhaps it is  understandable that some of us try to seek shelter under the  inalienable civil liberties that is assured by the Bill of Rights,  which despite varying interpretations under a multitude of political  climate over the years have always remained a bastion of security for  the common people.

However,  in this climate of post 9/11, there has been a long series of  incidents that have placed our faith in our civil liberties under  some serious questions. Recent documented events involving racial  profiling, agenda driven education syllabus, the breach of private  privacy under the guise of national security and notable lack of  presumption of innocence are just the tip of the iceberg. The fear of  the 'average Joe' is that this is not merely a blip, but in fact, a  gradual descent into a caricature of the Big Brother.

• I defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the rights, liberties and freedoms of all American citizens equally and without preferential treatment given to any individual, business or group.

• Crimes against people for their race, sexual orientation, religion, etc should be prosecuted as hate crimes with more punitive penalties than random crimes.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - China:

China  is the United States second biggest trading partner, with trade for  the year 2010 amounting to $459 billion. However, China’s exports  to US exceed their import by a massive $273 billion, effectively  making this relationship exceptionally unhealthy.

China’s  arrival as major economic player has been privately attributed to its  policy of distorting its financial policies, their refusal to float  their currency in the open market, their selective adherence to World  Trade Organization policies, their policy of subsidizing national  enterprises to fight off foreign competition and their sometimes-open  disregard to Intellectual Property Rights.

Set  against the unhealthy US economy, unemployment and public debts, many  are of the opinion that China must be pressured to conform to  international trade policies. However, China is the biggest foreign  lender in US, as well as the biggest subscriber of US Government  bonds. Couple that with the dependence of the local American economy  on cheap Chinese imports, there is a fear that playing hard ball with  China might bounce back on us tenfold, severely crippling the  national economy in the process. However, on the other side, keeping  mum on the matter might prolong the sickness of our economy and may  even be a contributing factor in its permanent death, as hard as it  is to believe.

• I think that we should tax all imports from China 25%.  That would encourage buying American and balance out the trade deficit.

• We have to be nice to each other and deal with each other on several issues. It’s not up to them or us to try to change each other.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Capital Punishment:

Essentially,  the proponents of capital punishment argue that capital punishment  reduces the risks of future deaths by taking the perpetrator out from  society, as well as creating a deterrent effect among would be future  murderers. They also hold to the position that without the threat of  an eye for an eye, the fabric of society itself will fall apart.  While there is an element of risk of punishing an innocent, the  benefits outweighs the very rare incidents of wrong prosecution.

The  opponents, meanwhile, contend that there is no empiric data that  supporting the argument that capital punishment reduces or prevents  future deaths. In addition, they argue that rehabilitation is a more  humane method of punishment, a reflection on our higher sense of  morals. But most of all, there is a tendency to prosecute and convict  under-privileged minorities in a ratio that is extremely  disproportionate compared to their demographics. Opponents also like  to point out the fact that 98% of the district attorneys in death  penalty states are white, according to a paper written by Professor  Jeffrey Pokorak, published in the Cornell Law Review in 1998.

• I believe it should be abolished.

• The death penalty is unjust - if you’re rich you get away and if you’re poor you’re more likely to be convicted and killed.

• A lot of mistakes have been made in prosecutions and innocent people have been killed.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Business and Labor:

•  The creation of a well planned financial environment which favors businesses must be a top priority to this country.  Healthy businesses will improve this country’s employment workforce statistics.

•  This country needs to stop rebuilding China with our trade and outsourcing policies.   This country needs to work towards becoming better efficient by increasing its manufactured products at home, which in turn, will keep  more persons employed, reducing our unemployment rate.

•  Our trade policies need to be reviewed and modified in order to pay off our debt, and start creating more jobs here in this country.

•  Outsourcing of American jobs to other countries must stop.  It only gives businesses in other countries more money, while taking away jobs from this country.   Some CEO’s of some big businesses have as many as 10 homes around the world. More money is needed to be returned to this market first, and then to other markets outside of this country. Plus, it is better business and better communications for this country to communicate with employees in this country, than with those located in other countries.

•  Unemployment  benefits  should be reviewed and updated in order to establish a permanent set of weeks  which  would allow sufficient  time for the unemployed  to seek employment. Extending the weeks of established benefits only encourages people to remain unemployed.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Budget:

The  equation is simple. Our annual GDP for 2013 stands at $16.6 trillion dollars aprox. (Nov. 2013), about a quarter of the world’s total, while our total  public debt stands at a little over $17.1 trillion dollars aprox. (Nov. 2013). Just like a  credit card, the debt will be charged interest, unless we make a full  settlement on the sum – which we can’t afford to. Now, let’s  throw a little fuel on the fire. We are incurring a projected $1  trillion dollars aprox. deficit for the next fiscal year, which will continue  to grow with each passing year. By the look of things, we will owe  more money than we earn for the first time in our history next year.  Let’s throw in some firewood. No one will lend us any more money,  or rather, no one is capable of lending us that much money.  Essentially, we’re looking at bankruptcy in the very near future.

The  Republicans insists on an immediate halt on any further spending  until the deficit is brought under control. The Democrats fear that  such an action will throttle economic growth and spook our lenders,  and consequently, destabilize the financial sector and create a  domino like effect that will result in the collapse of our economy;  hence the proposal to yet again raise the debt ceiling and pay for it  by increase tax rate even higher..  You worried yet? Join the club,  and start paying attention to the numbers quoted by the candidates.

• The United States must quit spending beyond its means.

• The budget must be balanced.

• The U.S. should live within its means and pay down the deficit.

• I would give up the American empire to reduce debt without sacrifice.

• I think spending should be based on the Constitution.  If all spending had to be justified by the Constitution our spending would be drastically reduced.

• We cannot afford the wars in the Middle East.

• I do not believe that government should bail out private enterprise nor seek to control it. Such acts have ruined our budget.

• I support a Balanced Budget Amendment and on-budget accounting.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Animal Rights:

We share the planet with other living entities such as our brothers the ANIMALS from which we learn more and more on a daily basis. 

They have shared with us their lives, their “Modus Vivendi” and finally adapted their world to our forced limits.

The animals worked “with us” and “for” us “even worse than slaves”… since “our creation”.  They provided us with love, loyalty and friendship… they will even give their lives for us humans.

No tractors? … Bulls where there,

No milk?...  Cows are still there,

Feeling lonely and spiritual?.. Cats are there for you… definitely by your side... Your friends...

Feeling depressed or energetic and need love... DOGS are the “best friends” for humans right?...  not a secret.   You doubt that?   Just watch a kid playing with his dog… no toy will ever replace such joy; NONE.

You sink in the ocean?  Dolphins when in the area often will come to your rescue where no human being is available and push you to the shore.  They will save your life… even repelling sharks risking their own lives.

Need to relief yourself from sore throats?  HONEY is there for you… produced by the Bees… 

And... more and more and more examples…

On a daily basis more and more species are vanishing...  disappearing forever! due to our lack of knowledge, lack of vision to preserve our planet and our friends; THE ANIMALS.

They give their lives for us… so how do you pay to someone that give his life for and to you?  So you may survive...  do you murder him/she?...

Very often animals are considered “a thing”…   no rules, no rights, no mercy. 

There is nowhere in the constitution of our Nation that states that we should provide “animals” the right to life, the right to a descent environment to live in, the right to survive!

“Owners” should have the right to defend their friends (pets) if someone abuses them…  it is a HUMAN RIGHT!  Because it affects HUMAN feelings, HUMAN emotions, HUMAN hearts.

Animals should have the right to have “rights” and so do you.

They suffer, they feel and they need our help…  GOD BLESS AMERICA

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Afghanistan:

Following the Al-Qaeda organized 9/11 attacks on American soil in 2001, the United States invaded Afghanistan with the primary objective of capturing the Al-Qaeda leader. Almost ten years later, after defeating the theocratic Taliban and appointing an interim government, with the assistance of NATO-ISAF and a hodge-podge collection of nations, the United States appears no closer to leaving the country.

More  disconcertingly however, was the recent report issued by the  Congressional Research Service. Since the commencement of the war,  the actual military cost of the war on terror has reached a whopping  $1.1 trillion dollars, with $455 million spent in Afghanistan alone.  Although down from a high of 149 thousand during the peak of  invasion, the current troop count of 98 thousand is still taxing the  nation’s resources severely. However, withdrawal of our troops from  Afghanistan will open up the floodgates for the extremist and  remnants of the Al-Qaeda to rebuild and consolidate their power  there, a potentially deadlier alternative in the long run.

• Deploying troops in Afghanistan threatens our national security.

• Our military presence around the world is bankrupting us.

• When Afghanistan die because of our troops’ actions it angers the Muslims, who understandably want to retaliate.

• We should mind our own business and let others mind theirs.  This will make the country more secure and help save our economy.

• We should withdraw from Afghanistan as soon as possible.

• Giving a withdrawal date was “a stupid mistake”.

• Now that the Taliban knows when the U.S. will withdraw, they will merely wait for us to go and re-take the country.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Abortion:

I am sturdily a “PRO -LIFE” believer; a rational evaluation of abortion is usually founded upon one single question:

When exactly does human life begin?

The answer leads to another set of questions:

At conception? - At birth? - Somewhere in between?

The heated debate about abortion is filled up with emotional pseudo-arguments that are usually centered on derived considerations such as sexual morality, religious beliefs, women’s rights, men’s rights or purely on pragmatic reasons.

If abortion were made illegal it would unfortunately still take place – generally under unsanitary conditions that would endanger the life of the pregnant mother.

The avenue - solution  is to “CREATE NEW LAWS”, “NEW REGULATIONS”, in which we provide the pregnant woman the facilities to have the right to a proper medical assistance by which we give her and/or “the biological father of the unborn” the right to keep the unborn baby and therefore  the right and the opportunity for the baby to live!  Which is a RIGHT to every creature in this planet.

If the mother was raped, “it is not her fault”.  And we will provide her with proper psychological assistance from our professionals in the field.  She will have “as a mother” the choice to keep or not her baby. If she wants to keep the matter completely confidential, then a Government program in a most private manner will enter into motion and will keep the baby for her, releasing her from any obligation with the baby. Our doctors will treat her medically in any circumstance until the unborn is born. If she does not want confidentiality and does not wish to keep her baby, then the right to her parents to keep the baby is an option followed by those who would like to adopt the baby. 

If for medical reasons the life of the mother is in danger, then our doctors will do their best to keep the unborn alive keeping her as a main source of life “if that is what the mother decides!!!”. However, if her love for the unborn is not compassionate enough, then she will have the right to terminate with her son/daughter’s life, by signing a written statement which she fully  understands, and executes  on her own free will and volition. If the mother is not in a condition to mentally decide, then the biological father of the unborn will decide for her.  If the baby is dead before being born by all means, she can safely be helped by our licensed professionals in the field.

The concepts of liberty and freedom’s most important foundation is the right to life and that right should be applied to the unborn.

Many people feel very strongly about the issue of abortion, and once they make up their minds they rarely change their opinion. If you are undecided and/or open-minded, check out this page and this site Partial Birth Abortion for more information about abortion, including images and a description of medical procedures.

God Bless America.
