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.
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.
Gay Marriage Against same-sex marriage.
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.
Illegal Immigration Immigration is generally a good thing. Important reasons to control immigration include national security, fighting human trafficking, and combating other foreign criminal enterprises.
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.
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. This is the major issue of our times.
Taxes I think the income tax should be abolished along with the many unconstitutional federal programs it is used to support. Until then, cut spending and lower taxes.
Minimum Wage We don't believe that minimum wages are good for the country, economy, or even the people they are putatively intended to help.
Death Penalty We believe that the death penalty is an important tool of society that has been made too costly.
