2016 AR Senate race: on Civil Rights

Curtis Coleman: Protect right to free practice of our faith

1st Amendment and Religious Liberty: I believe in protecting ALL of the rights outlined in the 1st Amendment, including the right to free practice of our faith.

10th Amendment and Federalism: I believe the principles of the 10th Amendment must be restored--any power not granted to the Federal Government is a power reserved for the States or the People.

Conner Eldridge: OpEd: Dems embrace same-sex marriage; Eldridge is reluctant

Eldridge is not going to run as a real Democrat, but as the same old tired and failed finesser.

He rails against Obama's historic multinational agreement with Iran that threatens to make the world safer.
He fails to embrace the increasingly successful Affordable Care Act and says only that it is a distraction to keep arguing about repealing it because we need to change it instead.
He says he is opposed to abortion.
He declines to embrace same-sex marriage except to say the legally plain truth that it's the law of the land and we may as well deal with it.
Arkansas Democrats will assail me for dismissing their chances and undercutting the vital two-party system. But actually I favor a vital two-party system.
