Tell us about your political experience prior to running for president.
I have none and will have none other after I finish my four years at the White House. I plan to take my last years salary and give most of it to entrepreneurs who need start up money to get their businesses going or to help some young people get through college. I’m not going to the White House to play house, but to clean house
Tell us about your personal career prior to politics.
I worked for the United States Air Force Accounting and Finance Center in Denver Colorado, The Veterans Administration in Westwood (Los Angeles) California. I left Government work to go into private Industry and found my freedom. I worked for the Automobile Club of Southern California and found there are not the restrictions there are in working for an Government agency. Private industry allows you to create and try different things and have bigger opportunities. That frame of mind grew when I worked for Temporary Employment Agencies as I grew in Ministry and in 1984 became a Certificated Christian Counselor and in 1988 became Ordained Minister and my husband Steve and I started our own organization in 1984 called A Place For Us National. (www.aplaceforusnational.com) and is ran by leaders in 5 different states (California, Arkansas , Nevada, Minneapolis and Alabama) which opened the doors to making appearances on TV and radio and speaking in schools. That flexibility allowed me to fulfill a dream to work with my husband and to break all types of racial barriers. I could control over my own schedule and I could refuse a job if I was already occupied. That gave me independence. When I did take one of the best jobs I have ever had working for Infonet a division of Computer Science Corporation. All of my work had to do with Finance and processing of money and payments or monitoring company accounts for payments. I was allowed to keep my speaking engagements which grew to talk shows across America and in the Entertainment Industry. I produced and worked with Leeza Gibbons on community projects and met with her at Paramount Studios. Some of our projects were supported by Whoopi Goldberg, and Montel Williams I became a Coordinating Producer for a project that allowed all unknown producers, directors, actors and writers to be sought based on their ability to do the job not their skin color. It was supported by Universal Pictures, and celebrities such as Andy Garcia, Sigourney Weaver, Beau Bridges, Carl Reiner, and Susan Sarandon. We wrote about our experiences in a book called” Life Through The Eyes Of An Interracial Couple” And Their Dreams Of A Colorblind America, by Steven A. and Ruth B. White
Please discuss a public figure from the past 300 year who you admire most.
Robert Kennedy, George Washington Carver, Helen Steiner Rice, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Ronald Reagan, and my husband Steve Alan White the nation’s best Educator
Do you think the US should have entered the war in Iraq?  Why or why not?  What is your strategy for finishing the war in Iraq.
No.  We are winning the war on Terror, but we’ve paid a high price in Iraq. I have a plan, but I will not discuss it publicly, for reasons of national security , but one thing I would do is have those people vote on if they want us to continue there and if they say yes, The Iraqis will have to take on the brunt of securing their country, and Americans can stay on as overseers.
While it is rarely mentioned in the news anymore, the US troops are still in Afghanistan.  What are your plans for that theater of operations?
Well since Bin Laden is there and we can’t go into Pakistan, we have to keep trying to win over the Pakistani’s so we can gain intelligence. He will be given up.
The US initially went to war with Afghanistan under the presumption that Osama Bin Laden would be captured or killed.  Why do you think he has not been apprehended yet?  What do you plan to do about this?
Because either we can’t reach him, or someone does not want to take him out yet.  Take him out NOW (whenever he’s spotted)!!
Iran has been spoken of by some as a potential threat to the United States.  Is Iran a threat to the United States?  What should be done about this?
Yes, What should be done about this? I have a plan, but will not tell the public, because they read and listen to the same information we do, and I do not want to give them an upper hand on our thoughts.
Are there any policies you would like to change or implement in the US Military and the Department of Defense?  Do you have any concerns about the oversight of these organizations?
Yes, Don’t Ask Don’t tell which was implemented to help secure the lifestyle of those who are living a homosexual life style, because frankly people on the streets don’t really want to know what a person’s sexual preference is, neither do may in the military. I believe many in the Homosexual Life will keep pushing for more and more rights for them and stepping over the rights for others. First they wanted to be treated like others now they want to over power others. The Military never asked a Heterosexual (since its inception) if they are Heterosexual. I have the utmost respect for our Military and I will seek their expertise in making sure I make the correct decision, and if they don’t agree on an action to take or on how to execute a plan and complete the plan we won’t take it.
Legislation and policy since 9/11 have attempted to increase Counter-Terrorism measures.  Many Americans feel this has come at the expense of civil liberties.  What if anything do you plan to change in this regard?
I believe if we don’t protect our country now we won’t have civil liberties and we won’t have a country, however I do believe that if the policy is misused the person (s) found doing so should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law. I want to rebuild trust in our American way and that means trusting the system, and that can only be done if the people in the system can be trusted and that’s what I plan to do.
Do you plan to make any changes regarding US immigration policy and border enforcement?
Yes. Speak American English Only I would put an immediate Moratorium on who can enter our country to become citizens, who can go to our higher learning institutions and who will be granted visas until we have secured our borders and eliminated over 70% of our illegal problems. No Amnesty for illegal immigrants, Immediate deportation for prisoners, drug dealers and murderers may be put to death, for those who are illegal and for those caught at the borders and if they will have no grounds to become legal citizens. Guest workers who come into our country will be given good pay and good housing, but have no rights to citizenship and they will take their good pay back to take care of their family in their country. I will secure the Southern and Northern Borders. If people really want to become American citizens they will understand why we have to secure the borders and wait their turn to apply after those who have applied before them. They would also understand the tremendous stress they are putting on our economy and if it fails it fails for them and us. Because of the abuse. Those who come legally should assimilate across the board into all areas of our society and not just gain prosperity and ignore the people who made it possible for them to be here.
Some people have discussed the idea of introducing a national ID card.  How do you feel about this?
No because we already have one, the social security cards which are given to children at birth, or else they can’t get medial, or go to school.
What are your plans and opinions on the Enforcement, Intelligence and Security organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the Drug Enforcement Agency?
I believe we have the best system in the world but some changes will be made to make sure they are sharing information across all branches of enforcements and intelligence organizations make some changes in being able to recognize a threat. This is not a time for power playing, but securing our nation and rebuilding trust and if the that trust is abused, the persons doing so will be punished to the furthest extent of the law.
What is your stance on gun control?  What do you plan to change or implement regarding the specific policies on shotguns, rifles, handguns and assault weapons?
I would suggest a GPS system welded and id’s on assault rifles purchased, so it can be monitored where it was used and by whom in real time. I believe in 2nd amendment rights. I believe you should be able to protect yourself, your family and your property. I believe a person can carry a weapon in cases of threats and abuse and entry on ones person property or for cases of personal protection, but each person will have to take training classes to earn how to respect the gun and others. Every purchase of guns should be checked against all government sources and if a person has a mental disability they will not be able to purchase a weapon.
What is your stance on US drug policy?  Do you plan to make any changes on the enforcement of Drug Prohibition Policy?
I believe that if a person is selling what ever type of drug the same sentence should apply for all people equally. Yes. This may help eliminate decrease people’s sentences and give relief to the taxpayers so we don’t have unnecessary over crowding in our jails and prisons
Do you intend to legalize marijuana for medical use?
It’s being abused for recreational use disguised as for Medical uses in many cases, so I would weigh it on a case by case bases with evaluations from different unknown sources for regulatory reasons.
Government entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Welfare are going farther from fiscal solvency.  What measures will you take on this?  Do you plan on making any changes in the coverage or scope of current entitlement programs?  Please outline any specific changes you will make.
I plane to give each person the chance to opt out of complete social security after the age of 55, they can opt half of their social security for stocks and bonds, and they can build a better nest egg than depending on the Government’s Social Security program. I would have an oversight committee to make sure people from other countries are not getting our Social Security funds over Americans, and you can work as well as receive funds. I believe Welfare families where the parents are physically able to work should get as much funds as possible (maybe matching funds to work and or go to school and then phase out of the program to be come productive citizens. I believe if you need emergency funds right now for an emergency house payment or rent or car payment or repairs there should be private companies and organizations that can help. Medicare should not have an A B C or D plan. One plan should fit all. The medications should be paid for those who cannot afford it. Medicare is for those who cannot afford Medical, My CO-OP is for those who work and need affordable medical.
Many people, especially the elderly are worried about the cost of medicine and medical care.  What do you plan to do about this?
My Medical CO-OP Plan (called The Alexander/McGee Project) and it is an ownership program for all who want to apply and it can be offered personally or through your job. You’re the owner, so you can transfer it to wherever you go in the world, and should you have some difficulty a few months and cannot pay it will pay for you. All medications will be paid for, no insurance, all long term, short term care, in home care, surgeries, and vision, dental is covered. No Co-Pay. The healthy may receive dividends at the end of the year for being healthy and practicing healthy ways of living. This helps pay for those who are ill. There will be measures in place to make sure that cost is not an issue and that the CO_OP is not misused and this plan is not for monetary gain, but to help the back bone of this country regain it’s strength and belief in the American way of life and that we still are a country that helps its neighbor. My plan will only have Government oversight, but a private entity.
What is your record on raising or lowering taxes?  Do you plan to raise or lower taxes as President?  Why?
Lower Because I believe we are being taxed to death and I would eliminate the Death Tax.
How do you plan on ensuring the fiscal solvency of the United States Government?  Please outline any specific plans you have for this end.
The US Dollar is losing its value compared to other world currencies.  What do you plan to do about this?
I plan to encourage companies that have interest in other countries to have those people purchase our products and Americans to purchase American products not over seas products.
What are your long term plans to improve the United States Economy?
Yes by encouraging less dependents on Government, more entrepreneurship, easy private grant seed moneys for people to start their own business and to teach others, so there are more resources and purchasing power to spread around.
President Bush agreed to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in 2005.  Do you believe this is a good thing?  Do you plan on making any specific changes to the agreements in this partnership?
No I believe in having sole power of our interest of the American people without others interfering.
Many people are worried about environmental concerns such as Global Warming, the Depletion of the Ozone Layer, and Pollution.  What do you intend to do about this?
I would encourage TV Stations to cut off their electricity from 2AM in each time zone, and restart station production around 6AM in each time zone. I would encourage companies to allow employees to work from home, to eliminate wasting gas and fuels by being in traffic, carpooling, van pooling, and jet pooling (for those who travel in private jets to events). I would encourage using cloth or paper bags and reusing them as much as possible. I would encourage purchasing bio degradable items as much as possible. I would penalize companies that do illegal dumping into fresh streams etc.
Do you plan to make any changes regarding US energy policy?  Please address transportation, and power distribution.
Yes I believe in using any form of clean safe energy that will help us become less dependent on foreign resources It has to be safe and effective for all. Great efforts to protect our energy grids from terrorism and price efficient. The best minds in the country should be on a project on this matter. Wind farms, clean coal and clean nuclear energy and drilling where we can eliminate being dependent on others.
Abortion is a heated debate among many Americans.  What are your personal feelings on Abortion?  Do you plan on making any changes in current abortion policy?  If so, how do you plan to accomplish your changes?
I am not for abortions unless it’s in case of life and death of the Mother. I do not believe in abortions as a contraceptive. Yes, The Government would not pay for abortions if a woman wants to abuse her body, she should not have tax payers dollars to do it with. All parents must be notified if a child wants to have an abortions and we I would stop our Government from having double standards (like children have to be taken care of by their parents until 18, hey can’t drink or smoke until 21, but they can have sex and get abortion pills by the school and yet they are too young to take care of themselves). I would have everyone who thinks it’s Ok to have an abortion to take responsibility for the care of that child including jail if they help a child get an abortion and that child does.
What is your stance on Gay Marriage? Do you plan to make any changes regarding policy in this area?
Marriage is between one woman and one man, not two women together and not two men together or not several wives or husbands (which I believe would be the spin off to a measure like same sex marriage. Yes, I would tear up the Hate Crimes Bill which is a law that can imprison a Minister (which I am )if he or she speaks against the act of homosexuality. By the way it’s a law I’m willing to go to prison to fight against because it seems that freedom of speech is for some and not for others. This Country’s policies and laws we practice today were based on the Bible and its principles. That includes immoral acts from heterosexuals and homosexuals
What are your opinions on the idea of “Net Neutrality”?  What do you plan to do about “Net Neutrality”?
Don’t know anything about it.
Do you have a set of standards by which you intend to appoint Federal Judges?  What standards must a potential Federal Judge or Supreme Court Justice meet to gain your approval?
No judge will be recommended by me that will legislate from the bench. They are there to enforce the laws on the books, not to legislate laws. I would recommend judges that have moral standards and traditional family values.
What are your plans for the US education system?  Is the “No Child Left Behind Act” a good thing?  Do you plan on making any changes to the “No Child Left Behind Act”.  How do you plan on changing US policy regarding elementary school, high school, and higher education?
A complete overhaul from The Boards administrators, and educators in each school Dist. For spending abuses Yes Some The separation of Church and State has been abused and misquoted and redefined . We should restore it to the way it was when our public schools first begin. Bibles and prayer (not required for each student to participate if they don’t believe) Higher learning. I would work with private industry and wherever Government and private organizations come together to give grants to qualified applicants without having to hire a grant writer to get aid, and I do not approve of school loans, but grants so the students can concentrate on learning. They should not be forced to pay for housing, but that and travel and purchasing of books should be provided by grants and private and government foundations working together on behalf of young people in need and who want to learn, never based on ethnicity. I would suspend aid to Higher learning institutions that protest against our military coming on campuses across America to recruit. It’s the Military’s love of country that allows the free speech of every American to even exist. In Elementary through High School, parents should have vouchers, so they can choose the school that is best for their child, rather it’s public, private, or home schooling. This can help parents hire a private tutor to help pout if they need it. Each Tutor will have to be finger printed across all government agencies searching for child predators. I would allow Teachers to opt out of teachers unions, because many unions are making teachers pay while the moneys gain in the unions are used to lobby on political agendas teachers may not believe in. I will encourage the reinstitution of God in the Pledge Of Allegiance, and freedom to teach about Science and Creation equally. I would have all schools recognize that all of our American history has to include everything that has been included in history in order for it to be accurate from all angles, and should be see movies that deals with the good and the bad in our past and I believe Teacher’s salaries must be increased to $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 to help educators gain the respect lost in recent years. Without Teachers our children won’t learn. They are the 1st line of offense to help our children become literate. I believe etiquette should be returned to the classroom (Yes Ma’am No Ma’am Yes Sir, No Sir). This will help build self worth and the worth of others. Parents can participate and child could get extra credit for participating.
What issues are of strongest concern to you regarding domestic policy?  What changes will you make?
I would encourage all companies to sacrifice extreme profits to make America strong. I would encourage all companies to adopt my _CMAP Project (Corporate Assimilation Project) which will split each Top Executive, Management, and Middle Management positions with a person of another ethnic background, rather Japanese, African, Black American, White American, Russian, and Polish etc. Companies that participate will get incentives. Example : If a Black owned company hires a white person to share a top management position with a Black Top Manager it would encourage understanding among each other and help move our country to racial equality.
What issues are of strongest concern to you regarding foreign policy?  What changes will you make?
I would stop giving aid to country’s that violate human rights laws and have no regard for the aid of the American people yet they ask for our help. No funds to country’s that support terrorists, treat their children and women, and girls inhumane, including child prostitution and child slaves and sweat shops. I would never sign the LOST Treaty (Law Of The Sea Treaty) which could eventually hand over decisions normally made by American about Americans over to International hands, many of whom violate international human rights laws.
Please take this opportunity to address any miscellaneous concerns, plans or policies that were not discussed in this questionnaire.  Also use this opportunity to make any closing statements.
I would revise the Child Support system, mothers can become culpable as men, and will be looked as equally as offenders and may lose their child support if the father is taking care of their children if the father is spending time, child support, and spending outside funds for activities and travel gifts etc. I would give tax deductions for fathers who don’t have to be hunted down to pay child support. I will start a parent training course to have parents learn how not to use their children as pawns between two parents, because it can only hurt the child in the end. I would sign an executive order to put a Multiracial Category on forms that have race, and will phase race as a question period on forms.
