Strong families are the bedrock of our nation and our culture. They are built around the sanctity of life and the institution of marriage, which is the union of a man and a woman. To counter coarseness in today’s culture that oftentimes victimizes our
children and undermines the traditional values parents want to instill, we must not only protect but strengthen the institutions of family and marriage. I am committed to:
Using the Presidency to encourage policies that promote a culture of life,
strengthen the institution of marriage and traditional families, and advance freedom of religion.
Returning authority to the levels of government closest to families and communities--the states--and then protecting states
from further intrusion by the federal government, the judiciary, and other states.
Combating the spread of obscenity over TV and other media by making sure parents can better exercise their responsibilities.
Voted YES on killing restrictions on violent videos to minors.
Vote to kill an amendment that would prohibit the distribution of violent video programming to the public during hours when children are reasonably likely to comprise a substantial portion of the audience. Voting YES would kill the amendment proposing the new restrictions. Voting NO would suport the amendment proposing the new restrictions.
