Issue Position Summary
Abortion Against elective abortion. In favor of making allowances for abortion when the life of the mother or baby is in jeopardy, or in cases of rape or incest.
Gay Marriage Against same-sex marriage.
Marijuana Possibly for medical purposes. I don't support the recreational use of marijuana, however, I also don't think that domestic marijuana is a federal issue, based on the U.S. Constitution.
Gun Control We have a right to own guns. We have a right to bear guns. Certainly this should apply anywhere on a person's own private property.
Taxes I think the income tax should be abolished along with the many unconstitutional federal programs. Until then, cut spending and lower taxes.
Freedom of Religion The constitution prevents the federal government from legislating an endorsement of religion, but it does not mandate that religion has no place in government.
States' Rights The federal government has overstepped its bounds in many areas and encroached on the rights of the people to govern themselves as they see fit. I think this is the major issue of our times.
