Joe Miller in 2016 AFA iVoterGuides


On Abortion: Roe v. Wade is judicial activism at its worst

Q: Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Miller: I believe that every life deserves the protection of the government. Roe v. Wade is an example of judicial activism at its worst, running contrary to the Constitution's clear mandate to protect life. Rare instances may occur where we cannot save both the life of the mother and the child. In such cases, we should save the life we can.

On Principles & Values: I am a limited government constitutionalist

Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Miller: James Madison articulated best it in Federalist 51: "But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."

Q: Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which political philosophy best describes you?

Miller: Conservative

Q: Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

Miller: I am a limited government constitutionalist who believes government exists to protect our liberties, not to take them away. I support free people, free markets, federalism, the constitutional right to life, the 2nd Amendment, religious liberty, American sovereignty, and a strong national defense.

On Principles & Values: We created greatest Republic by looking to God for wisdom

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Miller: I am a committed Christian who believes that God created people with a free will to make their own decisions regarding what they choose to believe. I recognize that our society was founded by looking to God for wisdom and guidance, which is why we created the greatest Republic the world has ever seen. I will fight those who want to take God out of America's public square.
