Better than Phil Ponce w/Cheryle Jackson: Berkowitz w/7th CD Dem Primary Candidate Williams-Burnett on War, Bailouts and Abortion;Cable and Streaming

Jeff Berkowitz: Would you make your tax returns available to the Public?

Darlena Williams-Burnett, Chief Deputy Recorder of Deeds in Cook County and 7th Cong. Dist. Democratic Primary Candidate: Absolutely, there’s nothing there to hide.

Jeff Berkowitz: Would you tell people your net worth?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: Oh, of course, if they need to know.

Jeff Berkowitz: What’s your net worth?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: It’s probably about a million dollars, give or take.
****************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Yes or no, would you like somebody to be able to own a handgun in his or her home?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: I don’t know that we need them in our home. They lead to violence in the home, as well.

Jeff Berkowitz: Abortion, you’re one hundred percent pro-choice?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: I am. I think that women should have choice, yes.

Jeff Berkowitz: Even on partial birth abortion? You know the federal government, the Congress, passed a ban on partial birth abortion. The Supreme Court upheld it. If you were there voting, would you have voted for that ban on partial birth abortion?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: That is very controversial.

Jeff Berkowitz: Yes or no. Which way would you vote?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: I don’t know.

Jeff Berkowitz: …Would you favor same sex marriage?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: I am not in favor of same sex marriage.

Jeff Berkowitz: Civil unions?

Darlena Williams-Burnett: What do you mean? Am I in favor of civil unions?
Jeff Berkowitz: Yeah.

Darlena Williams-Burnett: Well, yes.

Darlena Williams-Burnett, 7th CD Democratic Primary Candidate, debates and discusses a broad range of domestic, foreign and cultural public policy issues with show host and Executive Legal Recruiter Jeff Berkowitz on a show taped on August 30, 2009. Although filing of nominating petitions for this race is not required until the first week of November, Williams-Burnett , as of now, seems likely to face five or more competitors in the Democratic Primary to replace Cong. Danny K. Davis (D-Chicago), who says he will will not seek re-election, but will instead run in the Democratic Primary for Cook County Board President. Cong. Davis is, however, circulating nominating petitions for both the 7th CD race and the Cook County Board President Democratic Primary.

Democratic Primary Candidate Williams-Burnett include the War in Afghanistan, whether each citizen or family should have received $10,000, or so, instead of bailing out the banks, how best to reform healthcare, whether everyone should have school choice, the economic stimulus plan, whether partial birth abortion should be legal, whether law abiding citizens should be allowed to possess guns in their homes and much, much more.
