Former Congressman Virgil Goode to Address
Constitution Party National Meeting
Hon. Virgil Goode
Former Congressman Virgil Goode represented the 5th congressional district of Virginia from 1997 to 2009.Congressman Goode was elected to Congress as a Democrat in 1996. In 2000 he became an independent, then switched to the Republican Party in 2002. He supported GOP presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul in 2008. The same year he lost his bid for re-election to Congress by only 727 votes.
Here's what Goode says about:
Immigration: Illegal immigration must stop. Our borders must be secure. I have supported and cosponsored legislation to stop illegal aliens, terrorists, drug smugglers, and other criminals from coming across our Southern border. We need to utilize troops, fences, and other measures to stop the invasion from Mexico. Illegal immigration costs the United States taxpayers billions every year through increased health care costs, social service utilizations, emergency room fees, prison expenses, and in other areas. I support legislation to end the "anchor baby" immigration law loophole.
English as the Official Language: I continue to support English as the official language of the United States of America.
Tax Reductions and Fairness: I support and have voted to terminate the current IRS Code at a date determined in the future so it can be replaced with something simpler and more just.
Public Education: Washington should not be running our local school systems. We need to leave local education decisions to the states and localities
International Relations: I oppose the placement of our Armed Forces under United Nations command. We need to curtail expenditures to the World Bank, the IMF, and to many foreign nations.
North American Union: We need to block any union between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The sovereignty of the United States must be preserved.
Trade: Agreements like NAFTA and the trade provisions in fast track authorization lead to the erosion of this country's vital manufacturing base. I do not favor international trade agreements such as these that result in a loss of American sovereignty and jobs.
Virgil Goode will be introduced by Constitution Party Founder and three time Presidential nominee, Howard Phillips.
