I was perusing the Presidential Campaign websites recently and came across the following information. All quotes were taken directly from the candidates own information proudly posted on his site. Only the name has been removed to protect the guilty. Free one year C.A.S.H. membership to anyone who can correctly identify whose website they were taken from.
[He] says he wants to restore U.S. standing abroad with an approach to foreign policy that breaks with George W. Bush's "cowboy diplomacy"…
On the Environment:
[He] will issue a Clean Car Challenge to the automakers of America, in the form of a single and substantial tax credit for the consumer based on the reduction of carbon emissions.
[He] believes that the penalties for not following [CAFE] standards must be effective enough to compel all carmakers to produce fuel-efficient vehicles.
[He] Will Commit $2 Billion Annually To Advancing Clean Coal Technologies.
[He] Will Make Greening The Federal Government A Priority Of His Administration.
He will work with our international partners to secure our energy future, to create opportunities for American industry, and to leave a better future for our children.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Targets And Timetables
2012: Return Emissions To 2005 Levels (18 Percent Above 1990 Levels)
2020: Return Emissions To 1990 Levels (15 Percent Below 2005 Levels)
2030: 22 Percent Below 1990 Levels (34 Percent Below 2005 Levels)
2050: 60 Percent Below 1990 Levels (66 Percent Below 2005 Levels)
[He] Believes That There Must Be A Global Solution To Global Climate Change. [He] will engage the international community in a coordinated effort…
He said the United States under his administration would join international efforts to achieve a new agreement in Copenhagen next year on curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
[He] said Tuesday the United States will provide global leadership in the fight against climate change if he wins the November election.
On Health Care:
Health care should be available to all and not limited by where you work or how much you make.
[He] Will Work With States To Establish A Guaranteed [Health Care] Access Plan.
We should dedicate more federal research to caring and curing chronic disease.
Government should promote greater access [to Health Care] through walk-in clinics in retail outlets.
On National Service:
Bolster volunteerism with an energetic and comprehensive national service initiative designed to increase opportunities for people willing to serve their communities and their country.
Convene "Volunteerism Summits" so people can share with others the best ideas and most effective programs currently underway in their own communities.
Boost opportunities for service overseas to increase understanding and communication among diverse cultures.
Engage more college students in community service through the Federal Work-Study program; current law requires only seven percent of recipients to perform community service.
On Technology:
[He] will fully fund the America Competes Act to help address these trends in education and training. Our nation’s education system should also help re-train displaced workers. Invigorating our community college system is a good place to start. [He] has long supported grants for educational instruction in digital and wireless technologies, targeted to minorities and low-income students who may not otherwise be exposed to these fields.
[He] has always believed the government’s role must be rooted in protecting consumers.
[He] Will Pursue High-Speed Internet Access For All Americans.
[He] would seek to accurately identify un-served or under-served areas where the market is not working and provide companies willing to build the infrastructure to serve these areas with high speed internet services incentives to do so.
[He] Would Support The Federal Government As An Innovator.
[He] Would Make Sure that All Citizens Can Participate In The Technology Revolution.
