Issue Position: Religious Liberty and the 1st Amendment

Issue Position

Date: May 18, 2016

Our rights do not come from government, they come from our Creator.

Our nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values and they are the cornerstone of our culture and our laws.
Christians have been witnessing an unprecedented attack on our right to freely exercise our religion by liberal progressives who use the government (including the courts stacked with leftist judges) to force acceptance of their agenda on us. I will not be intimidated by the intolerant far-left activists pushing their radical agenda on the Wyoming people.

Speaking of progressives, there is an alarming increase in the number of proposed bills to target so-called "hate speech". I oppose any attempt to strip away anyone's 1st Amendment right of free speech, even those with whom I disagree. We cannot let one group, whether it is the minority or majority, be able to decide what constitutes illegal speech and continue to live in a free society.

I believe that everyone's inalienable rights should be protected; that we should be free to live our lives as we see fit without fear of punishment, as long as we are not violating someone else's inalienable rights.
