Jim Lee's virtual town hall!

Mark Gentry: This site looks great and I think I like what I see from your message. But what is your position on the unconstitutional healthcare bill? Would you vote to repeal it? reply

Mar 28 2010 4:03PM ·

James Lee: I signed back in mid-January the Club for Growth Repeal It! pledge, the first SC4 candidate to do so. I will not only vote to repeal it, I will also do everything I can to defund the unconstitutional healthcare bill until it is repealed! Thanks for the question, Mark! reply

Mar 28 2010 4:11PM

Ben: Wouldn't it make more sense to modify the current law than repeal it? (Also, so you know, I was a Democrat for over 30 years but now I consider myself an independent. I mention this because I plan to vote in the Republican Primary this year and will reviewing all of the candidates.) reply

Mar 29 2010 1:03PM

James Lee: I appreciate your transparency about your political leanings, Benjamin. To me, however, this is not a partisan issue. It is an American issue. ... ... At over 2,900 pages, the health care reform (HCR) bill that was just passed has nothing to do with health, care, or reform. It, like so many other seemingly well-intentioned ideas, creates more problems than it solves and is wholly unworkable. It is actually several issues rolled up and treated as ...more reply

: I am a true conservative that lives in Simpsonville. I believe we need a congressman that is more Jim Demint than Lindsey Graham - so, having said that - do you believe in man made global warming? Where do you stand on cap and trade? reply

Mar 29 2010 12:20PM ·

James Lee: I do not believe in man-made global warming (or climate change, as is the current PC label). As far as climate change in general, I do not believe at this time that the science supports any conclusion other than natural, cyclical climate change. I am against cap and trade for a whole host of reasons not least of which is my lack of confidence in the federal government to be able to devise a fully transparent and equitable way to determine exactly ...more reply

James Lee: Thanks to Chris and Mark for pointing out two obvious content gaps on our site! We'll be updating our site accordingly after the content manager recovers from being beaten severely with a wet-noodle.... ... First question: I believe the 2nd Amendment is an individual right for citizens to keep and bear arms.

Stacy: After watching the record of the incumbent for our District, it is refreshing to see your campaign... Would you support self-imposed term limits? reply

Apr 9 2010 5:28PM ·

Jim Lee: I do not support self-imposed term limits solely because doing so effectively renders you a lame duck to all the career politicians and the party establishment class. I will, however, vigorously lead and support efforts to enact term limits.

I'm excited that so many, like you, have come to realize and appreciate the candid, transparent and refreshing characteristics of our campaign.

Thanks for your question, Stacy! reply

Robert Stoddard: Jim, if you were elected would you introduce legislation to put a stop to all the terrible language used in movies now ? It has reached the point where you feel dirty when you walk out of the theater just for watching the film . The foul language doesn`t enhance the picture , it takes away from it . but noone will stand up to Holly Wood . Will you ? Cussing in movies is a recent problem, it was not done at all in the 1980s . It is totally out of ...more reply

Apr 16 2010 12:51AM ·

Jim Lee: I share your disdain for the vulgarity not only in movies but our culture in general, Robert. I would not, however, introduce legislation to control language used in instances where people have COMPLETE control over whether to they are subjected to vulgar language. I believe broadcast media should be subjected to standards with regard to content. ... ... On your second point I could not agree more. I can't tell you how many times I've been offend ...more reply

Obviously one of the primary roles of the federal government is national defense. If energy is truly an issue, maybe the gov ...more reply

Sadly, as the saying goes, when everything is said and done, more is said...than done.... ...

Robert Danis: What are your views on "Public Law 62-5, passed by the United States Congress on August 8, 1911, set the number of members of the United States House of Representatives at 435 " Should we Americans have more representation. In 1911 each Congressman had about 100,000 citizens to represent now it is more like 600,000. reply

Apr 21 2010 8:33AM ·

Bill Evans: 435 problems but my opinion ain't one. reply

Apr 22 2010 3:42AM

Steven Edwards: Yes I still want the answer to this. I want to know, Jim are you going to work to dilute the power of Congress by adding representation? The British, who we fought a war over representation over, have better representation than we do. reply

Anna McKay: I have heard a lot of talk among the tparty people in boiling springs that you believe that we can work with the UN to impliment programs that will be beneficial. They are under the impression that this is a bad thing. In your opinion, is it a bad thing or a good thing? reply

Apr 24 2010 11:25PM ·

Jim Lee: I believe it is in America's – and the world's – best interests for America to provide principled leadership in international relations among the sovereign nations in the world. Like Washington, I believe the UN is in desperate need of reform to root out corruption and abuse. That said, I believe America can and should work with the United Nations on areas of mutual interest. However, it should be done under the following immutable guiding princi ...more reply

Anna : Thank you for clarifying your position. I think that the UN is leading the way to a World Government. In that case, do you think we should get out of the UN? reply

May 6 2010 10:42PM

Jim Lee: I do not believe that the US should abruptly leave the UN. The resulting "power vacuum" would create a situation even worse than the one that exists today. I am unwavering in my position on US sovereignty. Therefore I believe America must provide principled and stronger leadership and hold the UN accountable. I am in favor of substantial reform of the UN and America's involvement in it. If the UN refuses to submit to such reforms, then the US sho ...more reply

Keith McDowell: Jim, do you favor the Fair Tax? Thanks reply

Apr 27 2010 12:57PM ·

Jim Lee: I am a proponent of the FairTax. No amount of "reform" can fix our current income tax system. No solution I've seen other than the FairTax has been so well researched and analyzed. I'm hopeful that South Carolina will lead the country and implement a state-level version of the FairTax and show Washington how it's done. Thanks for your question, Keith! reply

May 4 2010 10:29PM ·

Paul: Scott, the gold standard was abolished a long time ago. Are you asking if Jim favors going back to it? Gold is currently attractive as a hedge against inflation. If we go back to gold standard it may not be available as a hedge, though I'm no authority. I welcome Jim's thought on this though...Great question. The good ol' days when govs had to have gold to back their spending. Now we just need enough printing presses to back our spending. Yikes! reply

May 5 2010 2:13PM ·

Helen: That is a bill in Columbia not in Washington. reply

May 5 2010 2:27PM

Jim Lee: Thank you for your comment, Helen. You are correct that H.4919 is a bill introduced in the SC Assembly and not in Congress. I am supportive of the bill and commend Rep. Bedingfield for sponsoring it. I am disappointed, however, that the states are being forced to step up and do the federal government's job in securing our borders and enforcing existing immigration law.

Thanks for your question, Ramona! reply

May 5 2010 4:27PM

Ruth Pollard: I want our borders secured and our immigration laws enforced at all levels of law enforcement. It's obvious that ICE cannot do the job alone. Will you work to see that our immigration laws are enforced at the local, state, and federal levels? reply

May 7 2010 8:07PM ·

Jim Lee: Yes I will, Ruth! I share your obvious frustration with our federal government's unwillingness to enforce our immigration laws. This is a clear example of dereliction of duty by the Congress in failing to hold the executive branch accountable.

Thanks for your question, Ruth! reply

May 7 2010 10:31PM

Paul: Jim, are you willing to show leadership by cutting services, even popular ones, in order to get spending under control? I see politicians at all levels refusing to cut various services and choosing to raise taxes. Their argument is that "people want services" and want tax hikes to keep them. That approach shows lack of leadership in my view. It is time to make tough choices. reply

May 10 2010 9:54AM ·

Jim Lee: You've hit on two very important themes, Paul: leadership and spending. That "people want services" is understandable. People also want leadership that will candidly and clearly tell them when their wants are, in effect, a noose around their own neck.... ... I will lead by identifying not only services but also entire agencies, where appropriate, that should be cut in order to reduce spending. Couple cutting spending and transforming wasteful an ...more reply

Now, if we can channel such creative/innovative thinking into a positive outlet I will be confident that the future of this great country is secured.

May 11 2010 9:16PM ·
