"Why does the United States allow all these jobs to go south of the border?"
Sam Kyle
Pulaski
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
(804) 342-1996
``I've met recently with Virginians who have lost their jobs as a result of factories moving out of the country. ``We must protect American workers by making sure they are the best equipped, best trained workforce in the world. Since competing in the global economy means there will always be some country ready to offer cheap wages, the quality of our products is the key ...''to a thriving business and thus a key to keeping jobs in the United States.''
John Warner (R)
(703) 549-9696
``The federal government cannot tell a private company where it must locate, but it can make it more attractive to locate or remain in the United States. I supported NAFTA and GATT, and on balance, both agreements have benefitted Virginia by opening new markets.''for Virginia manufacturing and agriculture.'' Virginia will continue to win under these agreements.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
(540) 484-1996
``American workers on an equal playing field can out-produce the workers of any nation. In the future, we should ensure fair competition before giving full trade status to other nations.''
George Landrith (R)
(804) 237-1996
``Keeping good, secure jobs is one of my top priorities. ... Government must stop chasing businesses and jobs away through high taxes and burdensome bureaucratic regulations and poorly enforced trade policies.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
(540) 389-1170
``Thousands of our jobs here in the valley are dependent on free trade. Far from losing jobs to Mexico, opening up foreign markets to our goods and services results in a net increase in high paying, long term jobs.''
Jeff Grey (D)
(540) 982-7163
``The United States entered NAFTA with the understanding that it would create good jobs in the United States and create a better standard of living in Mexico and abroad. It is obvious that NAFTA needs to be reviewed and improved.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
(540) 981-9213
``Even a Berlin Wall can't keep people from fleeing a place they want to escape. No one likes being coerced. Regulation and business taxation are coercive. Companies and jobs will stay in America when we decrease coercion of commerce here.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
(540) 628-7197
``In a free economy, government cannot and should not make it illegal for its businesses to conduct operations outside of the United States. Therefore, ``U.S. companies are free to establish manufacturing operations overseas, just as [foreign] companies like BBA Friction, Volvo and Herks own manufacturing operations in the New River Valley.'' Says United States shouldn't encourage flight of jobs overseas. Opposed NAFTA. What the U.S. government should not do is encourage the flight of more jobs overseas.'' Voted against NAFTA. In that regard, I voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement which repealed the 4 percent tariff the United States previously imposed on products manufactured in Mexico and, therefore, created an additional incentive for more U.S. business to locate in that country.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
(540) 626-3373
``The federal government must stop burdening U.S. companies with high taxes and costly regulation that forces relocation of their operations. ... I support reducing the tax and regulatory burden on both individuals and businesses to encourage growth here in the U.S.'' so that American business can take advantage of our great workforce.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
(540) 552-9024
``I am an advocate of free trade, but both the Republicans and Democrats have stuck us with one-sided trade agreements such as NAFTA as paybacks for Political Action Committee funding.''

CAMPAIGN REFORM
"Where do you stand on campaign reform and limits on campaign contributions?"
William Tresky Jr.
Roanoke
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``I do not take PAC money because I want to serve the interests of Virginians rather than the special interests in Washington ... ``I would have voted for a bipartisan campaign finance reform bill - which my opponent led the fight to kill - that would have limited PAC contributions and the amount of money a candidate could contribute to his or her own campaign.'' I believe we will never have meaningful campaign finance reform as long as the professional politicians are in charge. Washington needs new ideas and fresh people in order to reform our political system.''
John Warner (R)
``I support the recent gift and lobbying restrictions ...I support reforms and contribution limits consistent with the First Amendment which encourage broad political participation by all, and fuller disclosure of how campaign dollars are raised and spent.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``I support requiring that the majority of money a candidate spends comes from their district and favor working with TV stations to encourage grants of time for candidates to present their views. This might reduce the number of attack ads that many politicians use today.''
George Landrith (R)
``Taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for campaigns. Government already takes too much from our paychecks. Congress' use of taxpayer paid mail, printing and staff and other perks of incumbency must be reformed. Full disclosure laws are also needed.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``I've consistently voted to bring real campaign finance reform by cutting down the influence of special interest groups and PACs, forcing candidates to raise the majority of their money in their districts, and banning soft money contributions.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``We need to set reasonable caps on campaign spending. Limits on campaign spending along with free and equal media coverage would give opportunities for more people to run for office, a true democracy. Whoever said that you had to be wealthy to run for public office?''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``Today's `reformed' system infringes speech and favors the special interest candidates. Campaigning has been deformed by reform. I will vote for a low total campaign spending limit or complete campaign freedom, but nothing in between.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
``I support campaign finance reform which will eliminate the current unfairness arising from the ability of wealthy candidates to overwhelm the process with their own campaign spending ..'' ``If non-candidates are to be limited to relatively small contributions, as they are under current law, candidates should have reasonable limits imposed upon their own spending as well.'' Also backs eliminating ``soft money'' contributions to political parties. ``through which both corporations and labor unions are able to evade our current campaign finance limits by contributing large sums directly to political parties.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``I am in favor of campaign reform. ``My opponent has solicited thousands of dollars from PACs and special interest groups, many of which have no connection to Southwest Virginia. This type of outside influence corrupts.``I support legislation requiring that the majority of campaign funds be raised within the candidate's home state. In addition, I support limiting PAC contributions to $2,000 instead of the current limit of $5,000.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Congress has a world class reputation as being `For Sale.' If it has all the hallmarks of bribery, it should be made illegal. All campaign funds should be raised from persons within their district and maintain the maximum of $1,000 per person.''

EDUCATION
"What are the candidates' highest priorities for public education?"
Dana DeHart
Pulaski
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``There is no greater difference between my opponent and me than on the issue of education ... ``I am a strong supporter of the student loan program and I favor a tax deduction of up to $10,000 for middle class families paying for college or vocational training. In contrast, my opponent voted to slash $10.4 billion from student loans.'' I also support innovative career training like the School to Work program which my opponent voted against. Finally, I believe we should fully fund Head Start to make sure that our children are ready for school. Meanwhile, my opponent voted for a Republican budget plan which could result in big cuts to Head Start.''
John Warner (R)
``I strongly supportBacks ``full funding'' for federal programs that support state and local school programs, ``including the Chapter 1 Program for disadvantaged students, ... the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for special education students; and technical and vocational education.'' While the basics of reading and writing must coninue to be emphasized, the students of today and tomorrow will have to be computer literate as well.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``We need schools that prepare our children for the next century. We need to continue the work of putting computers in every classroom and reducing class sizes for the youngest students. We also need to support and encourage parental involvement.''
George Landrith (R)
``We must improve education.``As a school board member, I worked to: (1) reduce classroom size so that teachers could give each student more individualized attention, and (2) establish a sound curriculum that stressed high academic standards of learning - not politically correct attitudes.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``Giving parents and teachers greater control over their children's education instead of bureaucrats in Washington is a priority. Local folks know what works best in their neighborhood schools. Making sure schools are safe and secure is also crucial.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``Public education is among my highest priorities. Future development for Head Start is essential to young children for a lifetime of learning. Head Start teaches children the basic principles of learning and gives them the desire to go to school and learn.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``The government school monopoly on public finance for education must be broken in a way that protects the freedom and independence of non-government educators. My proposal for 'Public School Cost Relief Tuition Bond' contracts will accomplish this.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
``Pell grants, guaranteed student loans and the college work study program adequate funding for these vital education programs has been and will continue to be one of my high priorities.'' I will also continue to obtain federal funding for our Southwest Virginia fiber-optic education project . . . '' which will link each of 83 high schools, community colleges and four-year colleges to provide fully interactive electronic classrooms and distance learning capabilities as an important step in addressing our problem with disparities in educational funding.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``Both of my parents are educators, so I am well aware of the importance of a quality education. ``Federal intervention into our local school system has failed to improve [schools]. I support returning control of our schools to those who know what's best for America's children - their parents, teachers and local communities.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Although not a congressional issue, my personal view is that``Schools need to return to much smaller class sizes and focus on the basic reading, writing and math. As we as a nation fall behind the rest of the world in the basics in education, our productivity and economy will fall behind as well.''

ABORTION
"How do you feel about abortions, particularly for minors?"
Beth Barnhart
Boones Mill
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``I am pro-choice- I trust the women of Virginia with this most personal of decisions ... Obviously, minors considering abortions should discuss the decision with their parents, but any law requiring parental notification should allow for the involvement of other responsible adults when parental abuse is likely.''
John Warner (R)
``While we must all work to reduce the number of abortions that we performed,``I am opposed to a constitutional amendment criminalizing abortion. I do not support federal funding of abortions, except [in cases of] rape, incest, and the life of the mother [is threatened], and I voted in favor of the Partial-Birth Abortion ban.'' Supports parental notification. I have also supported parental notification by minors seeking abortions.'' - as a parent and grandparent, I believe parents should be involved in these important decisions.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``I have co-sponsored parental notification in the Virginia General Assembly and believe that parents of unemancipated children should be notified if their children seek an abortion. I am opposed to using tax dollars to pay for, or encourage, abortions.''; but I do not favor a constitutional amendment to ban them.''
George Landrith (R)
``Minors should not be subjected to an abortion without their parent's consent. Thomas Jefferson wrote that our basic rights included life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without life, our other rights are meaningless.'' My five wonderful children have taught me that life is precious and worth protecting.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``I support parental notification that gets parents involved when children are considering abortion. Voted against taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions. Voted to ban partial birth abortions. I oppose abortions except in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother [is threatened].''
Jeff Grey (D)
``Abortion is a negative thing; when an abortion is performed it is a tragedy. While I support a woman's right to choose, I do not support a child's right to choose. Minors must be required to have parental or legal guardian's consent to have an abortion.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``Parental consent should be required before any medical procedure is performed on a dependent minor. However, a minor who is pregnant of her own free will has shown a degree of independence. Judicial discretion should exist to protect that independence.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
``I do not favor abortions.'' However,``I support the Constitutionally-based requirement, as announced by the U.S. Supreme Court, which vests in women the right to choose whether in difficult circumstances a pregnancy should be carried to term ... I do not support a change in the federal Constitutional requirement.Supports constitutional right to an abortion. ``For minors considering pregnancy termination, parental approval, or in unusual circumstances, judicial approval, would be appropriate.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``I personally believe abortion is wrong and, except in the cases of rape, incest and preserving the life of the mother, I would oppose abortion. ... I support parental notification before a minor can have an abortion.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Although I abhor all forms of abortion, I believe the federal government has no place to legislate or fund anything concerning abortion. For minors, this is an issue that must be resolved with the minor and the legal guardian.''

WELFARE
"How would you help back-to-work welfare mothers afford child care and transportation?"
Elizabeth B. Nichols
Goodview
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``If we want to be serious about welfare reform,``We should require recipients to work for a living. At the same time, any such requirements will be meaningless unless we invest in job training, child care and transportation so that these mothers can work, earn a living and care for their family.'' Welfare reform proposals must provide help for these needs, and I am pleased that the final welfare bill legislated such a view.''I also hope that the business community will be an active partner in reforming welfare so that there will be private sector jobs for welfare recipients.''
John Warner (R)
``I support the provision of flexible, transitional benefits [for child care, transportation and other items] to assist welfare mothers as they take their place in the workplace.Benefit packages should nclude child care, transportation, nutrition assistance and health care, or whatever combination is needed to help support the new working taxpayer. Once the worker is established, welfare benefits should be phased out.''as they are replaced by benefits earned in the workplace.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``There is funding in the current welfare reform bill to assist mothers with child care as they begin work. Hopefully, as these individuals transition into the workforce, transportation will become affordable to them.''
George Landrith (R)
``Welfare reform is critically important. ``Able-bodied people should work. Those who don't have jobs should look for one. Those who cannot find a job should obtain training. Tax credits could help back-to-work welfare mothers deal with the costs of child care and transportation.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``The historic welfare reform which passed Congress with my support rewards work, personal responsibility and families staying together. ... It helps back-to-work welfare mothers with child care and other needs.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``Single mothers leaving welfare to go to work need to be sure that their children are in a safe and caring atmosphere.''Backs Head Start and supplementing child care costs.``We should support their efforts to go back to work by providing Head Start or supplementing child-care cost. Where public transportation is not available, community carpooling should be considered.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``I will vote to repeal law which interferes with child care and transportation co-ops. Parents need independence from regulation so they can create non-commercial free market solutions (like the SHARE food co-op) with spontaneous, co-operative action.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
Says recent welfare legislation encourages child care and transportation assistance.
``The welfare reform legislation recently enacted at the federal level encourages the provision of child care and transportation assistance as a means of enabling mothers who receive public assistance to obtain both training and employment. ``In coming years, it is essential that we provide adequate federal funding for the child care, transportation, and job training components if the welfare reform is to succeed.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``Our welfare system should promote intact families, reward marriage, protect children, reduce government dependancy and require welfqare recipients to work in exchange for their benefits. In order to achieve these goals,``I support giving state and local government greater control over our welfare system. State and local communities, working with private organizations ... have the best ideas about what works in setting up day care and jobs programs.'' to help lift people out of poverty and dependency.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Although not a congressional issue, I personally favor a pre-kindergarten extension of the public school system (not just day care). I do not believe the federal government should expand its present spending to include welfare-type transportation funding.''

ENTITLEMENTS
"What are your plans to take serious action to reform Medicare and Social Security?"
R.S. Moeller
Roanoke
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``Medicare and Social Security must be reformed to protect and preserve them for future generations. But``I do not believe we should jump into any 'quick fixes' or needlessly cut these programs simply to provide a tax break for the wealthy. ... In my work as Chair of the Virginia Health Care Foundation, I learned about waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicare system - by some estimates, we lose as much $18 billion annually to Medicare fraud. In a few states, we have made significant progress in reducing fraud, and I favor expanding those efforts across the country.Social Security does not suffer from the immediate fiscal problems facing Medicare ... I would look into investing a small part of [Social Security funds] in safe, higher yielding instruments than government bonds.''
John Warner (R)
``As a member of the Senate back in 1983, I strongly supported the recommendations of President Ronald Reagan's Bipartisan Commission on Social Security Reform which restored the solvency of Social Security for another 50 years. ``The Medicare program is going to be broke by the year 2001, unless action is taken soon. I intend to support a presidential commission which Congress will authorize next year to make Medicare reform recommendations.'' Says Social Security is solvent until 2033.
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``I am not in favor of cutting Medicare or Social Security benefits that so many older Virginians depend on. I do favor reducing administrative costs and combating waste, fraud and abuse that cost these programs considerable amounts.''
George Landrith (R)
``We must save Social Security and Medicare. ``My grandmother died of cancer in 1994. We still feel a strong sense of loss. However, we were grateful that excellent medical care was never in question. I will work to strengthen and preserve Social Security and Medicare so all seniors can be confident.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``It's sad that some scare our seniors - telling them Congress is cutting Medicare and Social Security. It's not true and they know it. I've voted to protect Medicare: providing more money for Medicare while letting seniors choose their own doctors and hospitals.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``Social Security and Medicare were designed to be trust funds; they must be left as trust funds. Furthermore, I pledge that when I am elected I will make available a hot line to report waste, fraud and abuse to our Social Security and Medicare.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``Social Security must be made permanently secure by selling federal assets to buy annuities to keep the promises to those retired and near retirement; and then by making future retirement income savings plans private and beyond the reach of politicians.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
``Congress should replicate in 1997 the special commission which made the recommendations in the early 1980s leading to the 1983 Social Security system reform passed by the Congress. This is a proven formula, the success of which was well demonstrated with the 1983 changes.'' Next year, we should charge a new commission with responsibility for recommending changes which will be needed to insure the stability of both the Medicare and Social Security programs, the earlier and more immediate need residing in the Medicare program.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``We must ensure that Medicare is there for the future and not just for the next election.``I support allowing seniors more health care choices at lower costs such as HMOs and Medical Savings Accounts. In addition, we must mount a serious attack on waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicare system by rewarding seniors who point out efficiencies ... ''We must end the raiding of entitlement funds by lawmakers. It is outrageous that lawmakers use the social Security fund to pay for their 'pet' district projects.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Limit cost-of-living increases to the actual increases in revenues to help prevent them from going broke. Develop long-term plans based on real numbers, explain these plans in detail to the American people, and obtain a consensus. Pilot test each of these programs.''before implementing them nationwide.''to make sure they produce the anticipated results at the anticipated cost. Keep these programs dynamic, so they can be changed based on experience - don't freeze them with restrictive legislation.''

"How are the candidates going to start getting the young people in this country more involved in the political scene?"
Mark McGlauflin
Bedford
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``We must restore trust in the political system.''That's why I don't take PAC money and I don't want to be a career politician.''We should also make the political process more open to all citizens, and Proposes to ``eliminate the unnecessary bureaucracy that has kept so many people unwilling to register to vote. That's why, unlike my opponent, I support the `Motor Voter' legislation passed in the last Congress, and I will fight any repeal attempts.'' I am also taking my campaign to as many schools as possible.''because I want the students of Virginia to understand that they need to get involved - the decisions our politicians are making today will have a profound impact on their lives.''
John Warner (R)
``Your question assumes that young people are not involved. I disagree. My own campaign is heavily staffed with young people as are hundreds of other campaigns.'' Says if candidates refrain from ``negative campaigning,'' that will encourage more participation.... I believe one of the keys of ensuring that voters of all ages become and remain active in the political politics is by having candidates refrain from negative campaigning.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``As the father of a 17-year-old daughter, I consistently encourage young people to become involved - whether in campaigns, charities or community groups. One of the great assets of my campaign is young volunteers, and I will continue to encourage their involvement.''
George Landrith (R)
``I have worked with youngsters as a father, a Boy Scout Master, a school board member, a Sunday school teacher, and a coach. Many youth have lost confidence in the political process. Their interest, trust and natural optimism can be rebuilt by strong examples of honesty ...'', integrity and principle.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``Our public officials need to set better examples of honesty, straightforwardness and a commitment to really helping people. This sets the right example for young people. I've also consistently taken the time to speak at schools and to other student groups urging them to get more involved.'' in our great democracy.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``Political candidates can get all people involved in the political process through real grass-roots campaigning. I have been calling on volunteers from all walks of life, young and old. People must feel that they are part of the process.''
Jay Rutledge (L)
``The libertarian goal of creating opportunity by ending political control of the individual's peaceful pursuit of happiness will eventually involve more young people.''
FOR 9TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Rick Boucher (D)
``I make a special effort to involve young people in my re-election campaigns, and I have an outreach program to attract outstanding students to the internships available in my constituent service offices and in my Washington office.'' In graduation speeches, encourages civic involvement. Each year, I deliver a number of high school and college graduation speeches in which I encourage civic and political involvement on behalf of the graduating seniors.''
Patrick Muldoon (R)
``By running for office, I have provided a role model for young people. My message to the younger generation is to get involved - you can make a difference.'' If, like myself, individuals are troubled by the direction our country is headed, our democratic political system allows and in fact encourages them to stand up and be heard.''
Tom Roberts (VIP)
``Restore honesty and openness to the process. Do everything in the 'light of day.' Explain in literature and public forums that this is their country (and national debt) and without their input and work, we will surely fail in stopping the growth of the debt.''

"What laws do you propose to repeal? What bureaus, agencies, departments to you propose to eliminate?"
Robert M. Felton
Roanoke
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``The best way to contain the size and cost of governmental is to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which I support.'' Emphasizes making government more efficient. Additionally,``We need to ``Recently I was in a [locality] where the social service agencies consisted of 16 different offices each with a different form. If I ran my business that way I couldn't survive. We have to use the tools of the information age to bring more efficiency to our bureaucracy.''
John Warner (R)
``No federal function should be above scrutiny in our efforts to provide a smaller, more efficient federal government ... My record shows that I have not hesitated to call for the abolition of government programs such as the NASA space station and the supercollider.''
FOR 5TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Virgil Goode (D)
``I'd cut congressional pensions and the $1.1 million by which the speaker and the majority leader increased their budgets. I'd cut $19.6 million from the International Fund for Ireland that's been used to produce golf videos and pony trekking centers.'' If I had more space, I'd list more cuts.''
George Landrith (R)
``The federal government is too big and it spends too much of your money.``Congress should lead by example by cutting its own budget and perks. Many agencies can be streamlined. Waste and fraud must be eliminated. Taxpayer funding for the arts and broadcasting should be eliminated.''
FOR 6TH DISTRICT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Bob Goodlatte (R)
``Since being elected to Congress in 1992, I've voted to eliminate over 100 government programs and agencies ...saving billions of taxpayer dollars.'' Backs abolishing Departments of Commerce and Energy. We've got way too much government bureaucracy and red tape and cutting it has been one of my top priorities.''
Jeff Grey (D)
``All bureaus, agencies, and departments should be evaluated to cut waste, fraud and abuse.''
