Issue Position

I believe that, although a well-trained military may be necessary for national defense, military expenditures must be weighed in the context of domestic priorities. I will work to:

Ø End the occupation of Iraq and the on-going military commitment in Afghanistan/Pakistan.

Ø Support all proceedings to hold accountable any violators of the U.S. Constitution, international laws, and/or treaties.

Ø Restrict Vermont National Guard troops from assignment to war zones.

Ø Prohibit the use of torture.

Ø Oppose preemptive war.

Ø Support non-military initiatives and policies to resolve international conflict.

Ø Oppose deployment of the F35s at the Burlington airport
