Recently I posted a short list of issues that I am using in a handout brochure. I received one very supportive comment and two others basically saying that "impeachment" was the only issue that matters; and by not supporting impeachment now, my candidacy had little meaning for these people.

I looked back at a previously posted comment, and since impeachment seems to have such importance to some at this time, I thought I would re-post my comment as a diary entry. Read More

The issues below are the basic issues that I have included in a new foldout "brochure" that I will be handing out. The Republicans mostly tell you they have Christian Values, love children and support the traditional family. The two Democratic candidates running against me in the primary, take a much softer approach on these issues than I do - telling people how Christian they are, even though they couldn't support anti- abortion legislation. Their position on Iraq is basically, "Now that we're there, we have to stay the course," which is basically the Republican's postition here. I recently stated at a debate, "That I would support a Republican who was opposed to contnuing the fighting in Iraq, before I would support a Demcocat who supported staying there." Read More

The real threat to us from the NSA's compiling a phone calling list is exactly one of the great dangers to liberty and to the exercise of democracy that the founding fathers wanted to prevent; an inhibition on the ability of citizens to freely associate with each other; anything that would have a chilling effect on free association.

The problem at hand is the illegal immigration across our border with Mexico and, to a lesser degree, our border with Canada.

The public's perception is focused on the illegal immigration from Mexico. The reality is that there are a large number of illegal immigrants from many countries who cross each of these borders, though unarguably the greater illegal immigration is from Mexico.

Before any other steps can be taken, illegal immigration must be stopped. At present, illegal immigration is estimated at 500,000 people annually, more than twice our legal immigration quota.

Without stopping illegal immigration, any regulated immigration policy is irrelevant.

The week of June 23rd, 1788 was a defining week for the United States of America. The old rivals - James Madison and Patrick Henry - were at each other's throats in Virginia, arguing passionately and sometimes viscously about "that paper on the table," the proposed Constitution. Read More

My name is Joel Goodman and I am running for Congress.

I am running for Congress because I want my country back.

I want the country promised to me by my forefathers; those guys in silk and satin, with long hair, who had the guts to hide out for years from the Redcoat cops just so they could leave me a country resplendent in freedom.

I am that posterity that Madison and all those other guys talked about, "Ourselves and our posterity." You dig? Read More
