"Social Issues
I am pro-life – from conception until natural death. Our
Declaration of Independence states our inalienable rights
are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: and “That
to secure these rights, governments are instituted among
men…” Therefore, it is the express job of government to
protect all innocent human life. Taking a public policy
position otherwise leaves all lives in jeopardy.
Regarding marriage, I am not willing to throw out 4,000
years of core traditional marriage to assuage the wishes of
a few. I believe marriage is between one man and one woman
and should remain so for the sake of children and the
perpetuation of the traditional family unit.
I believe benevolence and charity belong to our citizens,
not government. To believe otherwise, is to assume if
government doesn’t do it, neither will the people. I have
not seen evidence to support that theory. Americans give to
domestic and foreign charities more than any other people in
the world.
The latest figures show individual Americans and
companies have given over 307 billion dollars so far for
relief in Haiti."
