Democratic Mission Statement

Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement.

Technology- Response to Blackboard

The candidate’s views on the issue of technology are very similar. As an example, the follow quotes are cited from the McCain and Obama websites: “His policies will provide broad pools of capital, low taxes and incentives for research in America, a commitment to a skilled and educated workforce, and a dedication to opening markets around the globe.” “We must use all available technologies and methods to open up the federal government, creating a new level of transparency to change the way business is conducted in Washington and giving Americans the chance to participate in government deliberations and decision-making in ways that were not possible only a few years ago.” These quotes show that both campaigns want to better the access of technology within the United States government. However, McCain’s website gives a brief overview of McCain’s stance on technology and why we should vote for him while Obama’s goes into more depth. Obama’s website goes into extreme detail on Obama’s position on the issue of technology.
