Con: "I believe in order to break through and establish stronger relations with our island neighbor, that Fidel Castro, his people, and his government, must be liberated. We the people of the United States America have a duty and obligation to support democracy in the free world. Our neighboring Cuba needs our support and I say its time that we give it...
When Imperato becomes empowered to represent the United States he said he looks forward to "setting an example with our closest neighbor Cuba by opening relations, mending wounds, and repairing diplomatic ties with Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean."

Not Clearly Pro or Con: "I think that NAFTA could have had a benefit for the United States of America, but unfortunately George Bush took over Bill Clinton's problem of terrorists entering our country. 9-11 took our eye off the ball pertaining to the NAFTA agreement and the implementation and the strengthening of the relations. So I think that NAFTA has been neglected. I think that NAFTA is a good trade agreement in basis."

Con: "No I don't support tapping into the U.S. emergency reserves. I do support additional drilling...There is plenty of oil available coming into oil wells from refineries of United States of America. There are new techniques to extract more oil. The fact of the matter is we need to diversify our energy program."
Telephone interview with ProCon.org, Mar. 11, 2008
Not Clearly Pro or Con: "We should encourage voluntary citizen participation in carbon emissions and collaborate with the international community on reaching an acceptable protocol. If run by the government, it will get messed up."

Con: "There are already enough regulations on guns except regarding the assault weapons. In the modern context of the type of aggressive high grade weapons that are available, we should be concerned with allowing assault weapon distribution to proliferate. We need to enforce the laws that are in place now."

Con: "Picking on Iran is an improper, aggressive situation that must stop by the US, its administration, and the administrations around the world...
The rest of the world has countries already who produce nuclear power who could as easily as Iran, erupt and use nuclear weapons. Although those countries are seen in the world to be stable countries, and have been accepted by the rest of the world to have credibility and restraint, it only takes one person to push a button...
I call on our administration and our president to try to embrace the leader of Iran and to talk to him face-to-face, man-to-man, to discuss the issues at hand and to bring about peace in front of the people of the world."

Pro: "If there are people, Kurds, or [other] people attacking or approaching Turkey in any diligent or terrorist way, I feel that Turkey has a right to defend itself...
If those...people or terrorists have attacked Turkey in the northern border, and they want to go in and take those terrorists out, I think that the United States goes in and does the same, so I think that they should be able to go and protect their nation and rid the terrorists. I do think that any attack on any nation should be done on a global basis and there should be a congress of nations that doesn't support war in any nation."
Telephone interview with ProCon.org, Mar. 11, 2008
Pro: "Our interrogation techniques were put in place based on traditional warfare. Today's enemies such as those who killed Daniel Pearl in Pakistan use torture on us. So we should revamp the means of interrogation to reflect today's needs."
