Respect the traditional institution of marriage
Senator Cornyn strongly believes that every individual is worthy of respect, and that the traditional institution of marriage is worthy of protection.He supports providing opportunity for all and removing government limitations on freedom so that
every citizen has the chance to realize the American dream.
Government must provide a "hand-up" for citizens, not merely a "hand-out." The best gifts government can give to citizens are the ability and skills to improve their own lives.
