To members of Free Republic and friends, I would like to introduce a candidate for President of the United States and the current congressman from the 52nd district of California, Duncan Hunter!! To Americans who value the patriotism and missions of our Armed Forces, to those who want to put fear into the hearts of our adversaries from Beijing to Tehran, to those who value the rule of law when it comes to illegal immigration, to those who realize that the unborn deserve full legal protection beginning at conception, to those who believe Peace through Strength is far more than a motto, to those who do not like giving communist China unfettered access to our markets while they cheat at every turn, to those who want to halt and reverse losses of US sovereignty to global entities, and to those who want the GOP to return to Reaganism, Mr. Hunter is the Best choice.
Congressman Hunter currently is the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee, after spending the previous 4 years as its chair. He is an original co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill and he is the author of the Secure Borders bill, signed by President Bush in 2006, which mandates 800+ miles of double fence across the smuggling corridors of the SW. He also is the man who has led the fight against NAFTAs Mexican truckers having free reign on our roads, has forced congressional oversight of the executive branchs Security and Prosperity Partnership with Canada and Mexico, and was instrumental in saving our military intelligence officers from having to jump through bureaucratic hoops unrelated to combat.
A Vietnam combat Veteran himself, he currently has a son in the Marine Corps, Capt. Duncan Duane Hunter who is busy hunting jihadis in Afghanistan after two tours in Iraq. Congressman Hunter has been the anti-dote to the liberals in Congress doing their damndest to cut and run from the battlefield. Mr. Hunter knows that this war is our generations calling, and the only way we can leave is to WIN.
Below are 15 questions we compiled last month on Free Republic, which we sent to Congressman Hunter a few weeks ago. They are followed by his answers. This is the springboard we will use to kick off Mr. Hunters live virtual press conference on FR today.
Please stop by and say hello and you may post additional questions. HOWEVER, Please realize that time limitations will prevent him from answering all the questions you may have. Though he may get time later to forward answers to many left unaddressed during this session.
Please drop Jim Robinson a note of thanks as well. For not only hosting this event, but for having the best conservative website in the country!
Also, no disruptors allowed. Your posts will be removed.
The following is our Kickoff Q&A session:
Close to 6,000 views at this point. I would love to see a FR-style poll to help gauge the impact of candidates coming to FR to answer questions.
Sovereignty, security, sanity. Our constitutional rights are at stake. The choice is yours.
Thanks for making this happen and thanks to Congressman Hunter for all he does, and has done, for our country.
It might for the short term. Our first real conflict with a foreign power, however, will have us ruing the day the last company capable of producing metal armor (there's currently only ONE left) for our Humvee's offshored all production to China. Can there be balance? Can we please retain some semblanace of a viable industrial base stateside? Please? Does it have to be all one (free trade regardless of the practices or disposition of each trading partner) or all the other (isolted protectionism)? Is a balanced, common sense approach that is neither off the table? Just asking, in sincerity.
Congressman Hunter
It is a honor to meet you sir, and a pleasure to speak to the next POTUS2B.
While I can predict your answer from having read your positions on sovereignty, I ask that you would publicly state your position regarding the North American Union (NAU) and any other machinations being offered by Globalists.
Thank you for your time,
-Bruce
