Kevin Wade in 2014 DE Senate debate
On Energy & Oil:
Lottery to distribute 600M acres of oil and gas resources
Wade believes the people, not the government, should control the country's oil and gas resources. There are approximately 600 million acres over oil and gas reserves in the United States, with much of it located in the western region of the nation,
Wade said. A lottery should be held to determine 60 million individuals to receive 10 acres each of this land, he said.
These new owners of gas and oil rights can then do with them what they see fit, including allowing companies to drill, making a profit for the owners of the land, he said. According to Wade,
Abraham Lincoln, among others, had a similar idea in the past. "Take it out of the hands of Washington, into the hands of the people," he said. "It's not radical or new."

On Health Care:
Affordable Care Act violates the Constitution
Wade is running because he fears the same opportunities he had will no longer be available in the future. After working in a steel mill to pay for college and then starting his own engineering company, he has had a life like many others, Wade said.
His hope is that he can secure similar chances for those to come. "The American dream is being thrown away by people who just don't understand the nature and character of the American people," he said.
Wade said the United States' handling of the influx of Central American children has been less than admirable, while the Affordable Care Act negatively has affected many and violates the Constitution.
He also believes the people, not the government, should control the country's oil and gas resources.

On War & Peace:
Aid Israel & serve as a transformative force in Mideast
With the primary election one month away, Wade recently traveled to Israel to better understand the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The experience, which included meeting with Israeli soldiers, affected him deeply, Wade said.
He believes the United States needs to not only aid Israel but also serve as a transformative force in the Middle East to ensure people there can live freely without fear of terrorism.

On Environment:
EPA water authority is unaccountable & unconstitutional
The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to expand its authority to cover "waters," including the regulation of nearly all ditches, natural or manmade; flowing or dried up; temporary or permanent, including collecting of rain water. The proposed
regulations are so onerous, they could literally make farming of some areas impossible. But if you don't comply, the EPA could label you a "polluter" whose wages should be garnished. Case example: the agency has threatened fines of up to $75,000 per day
on Wyoming homeowner Andy Johnson. He built a pond on his rural property.Think twice before you or collect rain water on your property, like Gary Harrington, an Oregonian now serving a 30-day sentence for violating water regulations.
An anonymous, unaccountable, and faceless bureaucratic elite is dictating to Americans, destroying trust. It is time to reduce or to entirely eliminate the power of unconstitutional agencies unaccountable to you, the US citizen.

On Technology:
NSA data collection invades citizens' privacy
Deep in the desert of Utah is a government data center. The center, comprised of long, low buildings spanning 1.5 million square feet, is filled with super-powered computers storing unbelievably massive amounts of information gathered secretly.
What information is being collected? Information about you, Joe Average citizen. Your phone calls and emails are being stored, all in the name of protecting our country from potential terrorists--terrorists like you, even though your call or email is
as banal as, "Honey I'll be home in 30 minutes." You probably have never said or typed, "I'm planning to bomb the Freedom Tower."
The Obama administration has defended the National Security Agency's "need" to collect such records, despite the huge
overreach and invasion of citizens' privacy.
Truth is, most Americans do not believe the government won't use the information it's gathering for good purposes only. Information is power. Knowledge about private affairs can be used for bad ends.
