Campaign themes

2014

Moylan's campaign website listed the following issues:[4]

  • Obamacare
Excerpt: "Obamacare is crushing the quality and affordability of health care, especially for seniors."
  • The Economy
Excerpt: "We must fully tap into our rich abundance of coal, oil and natural gas, including the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which will not only break our dependence on foreign energy but also create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs."
  • The National Debt
Excerpt: "Congress must pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, with a clause allowing for deficits only during time of national emergency."
  • Congress
Excerpt: "A recent survey found that Congress is less popular than lice and colonoscopies – and for good reason. They get paid $175,000 a year to do not much more than bicker, posture, and ultimately, serve special interests. Aside from being rife with scandal, Congress hasn’t even passed a budget in four years! Washington cannot fix our problems unless we fix Washington’s problems."
