Political positions

Domestic policy

Fiscal policy

Noah Quincy has repeatedly declared his campaign to bring the United States out of debt and his support for Social Security and Medicare. In 2005, he said, "it is unfair and wrong that our children be brought up in a nation with such a large debt of which they would not be responsible for."

Energy policy

Fighting global warming has been one of the staples of the Quincy Administration. A environmentalist, strong supporter of the Kyoto Protocol, renewable energy, and biofuels, Quincy signed into law the Green America Act of 2007 on April 18. During his 2000 campaign, he published "An Inconvenient Truth", a book on the threat of the current climate change. His energy policy has been generally been approved by environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and The Nature Conservancy.

Health care

Noah Quincy is a major proponent of universal health care and implemented his seemingly faultless plan in the autumn of 2003. "It is embarrassing that the United States of America cannot ensure its own citizens health coverage, and I will work to reverse that," he said in 2002.

Taxation

Despite calls from his Republican rivals, the Quincy Administration has refused to implement tax cuts for the rich. "Ridiculous," was his description of the requests.

Foreign policy

Alexandrian Empire

Although the Alexandrian-American relationship has been consistently stressed, Quincy said, "the American people are willing to put aside our differences with Greece to cooperate with them on preserving the regional security."

Collective European Defense Network

Noah Quincy has long opposed the Collective European Defense Network, known as C.E.D.N., calling it "an alliance of Kyrusian puppets, keen on dominating Europe via military means." Despite this, Quincy has made clear his intention to improve U.S.-C.E.D.N. relations, specifically with the founder, Kyrusia. The signing of a peace treaty between the two nations to officially end World War II silenced the critics of Quincy's stance.

Immigration

Quincy has signed numerous immigration bills. Most notably, he approved giving twenty million illegal aliens an earnable path to citizenship, a guest worker program, the DREAM Act, and a bill that would increase border patrol.

The United Nations

Noah Quincy has consistently supported the United Nations and its actions, drawing criticism from some libertarian speakers. In 2006, he stressed the importance of the organization and of the U.S.'s membership in both the General Assembly and the Security Council.

Social policy

Abortion

Quincy has long been pro-choice, although his has declared that it will be up to the states to decide on whether to legalize abortion or not. He supported New York Governor Spitzer's signing of a bill that formally allowed abortion in 2007.

Crime

During Quincy's terms as mayor, New York City saw considerable drops in crimes as Quincy put in place tough laws for fighting crime. Despite this strong stance, Quincy has long been opposed to the use of the death penalty.

LGBT social movements

In March of 2004, Quincy declared, "no matter how much I believe that same-sex marriage should be legal, I will leave it up to the individual states to decide on their stance." He has also voiced support of civil unions for same-sex couples.

Gun control

An outspoken supporter of gun control, Quincy has strengthened security to prevent criminals and the insane from gaining weapons. He also passed a law similar to that of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban after it expired in 2004 and limited hand-gun purchases to one per month. During his term as New York City mayor, he put in place similar laws, seeing a dramatic reduction in gun-related crimes.

Religion

As the first Jewish President, Quincy has repeatedly stressed the importance of separation of church and state. During both of his campaigns, Quincy visited a variety of religious sites, including mosques, churches, temples, and monasteries.

Stem cell research

Quincy supported embryonic stem cell research throughout his first term as President publicly, and signed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act in 2005 after being passed with the overwhelming majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
