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.
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.
Miller, an attorney and radio show host, said he continues to hear from people who believe Murkowski should be challenged and that he should take her on. Miller believes there's a lot of public support for a run and that's why it remains a consideration. He said Murkowski has little support among conservatives, which he said would make someone like him a formidable challenge for her. But Miller said at this time, there has not been any serious contemplation of a run.
Back in Washington, Begich became president and CEO of the Foundation for Hospice and Homecare. And last month, he signed as a strategic policy adviser to the law and lobbying firm Brownstein Hyatt, working mainly on energy and natural resource issues.
A: Called "The Do No Harm Act" introduced by two Democrats, if passed the Act would prohibit using the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act to justify discrimination in housing, employment, health care, children's welfare, and equal access to government services. I support this bill.
