About Me



Start the Conversation
One of the great things about the internet is because of sites like MySpace, YouTube, and UStream, the financial barrier to communicating on a mass scale is essentially nothing. With a video camera (or web cam) your message can be broadcast to more people in a single day than watch some of the most popular cable news shows. Social networking sites like this one provide candidates and elected officials the opportunity to participate in mass two-way communication -- not just talk at you.

Where Dodd Stands on the Issues:
Energy: The reviews are in – from environmentalists to the leading voices on the issue of global warming: Chris Dodd’s bold energy plan is setting the standard in the presidential race.
Foreign Affairs: From his time in the Peace Corps as a young man to his 25 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Chris Dodd has worked to strengthen America through bold engagement. Chris Dodd is ready to lead – to face our challenges abroad with boldness and a proven ability to bring people together.
Healthcare: Chris Dodd has worked to ensure that every American has health care coverage, regardless of their economic status. He understands that we simply can’t afford to fail again when it comes to ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable, quality health care.
Education: Chris Dodd understands that while children are 25 percent of our population, they are 100 percent of our future. But if America is going to face the challenges of the 21st century with boldness and optimism, we will need the best-educated generation in the history of our country.
Labor: Chris Dodd believes it’s time we had a President who can break the deadlock between workers and employers in this country – who can bring people together to create an environment and an economy that respects work and builds wealth.
Seniors: Chris Dodd understands that security in retirement is one of our most fundamental values as Americans.
Constitution: In February, I re-introduced the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007. The bill will restore Habeas Corpus protections to detainees, bar information acquired through torture from being introduced as evidence in trials, and limit presidential authority to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions.
Discuss these issues and others that matter to you in the official Chris Dodd for President MySpace Group .
