William Capps on Civil Rights

Affirmative action is not a federal issue

Q: What is your opinion on the statement. "Require companies to hire more women & minorities"?

A: This is not the role of the federal government that should be a State issue.

Define marriage as one man and one woman

The family bond is something that I have always fought for. We must restore family values and promote the strong bonds of marriage. To deviate from the family structure does no one person any good. That being said, I do not feel it's the federal government's responsibility to legislate morality. I have a strong faith in God and family and my hope is that everyone does.

If a traditional marriage amendment came up for vote, (defining marriage as one man and one woman) I would vote for it.
