Public prayer is a civil right

Public prayer should be a social issue, decided by individual and group dynamics. I will defend your right to pray or not to pray, anywhere, at anytime. I was the only Texas candidate for U.S. Senate who took a stand on this vital issue of preserving liberty. Source: Campaign website, www.scottjameson.org, "Positions" Jan 27, 2006

Repeal the "unPatriotic Act" of 2001

The Patriot Act needs to be repealed immediately. It violates most of our Constitutional rights. Americans have not failed to protect themselves because they have yet to give up enough of their rights and liberties. This bizarre law, with its secret search warrants, administrative-only review process for government agents killing people, and ad hoc military tribunals, takes us to the brink of ending our country's proud history of democracy, trust, and freedom.
