Issue Position: Individual Rights

Issue Position

In our Declaration of Independence, we find the immortal phrase: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". The purpose of government is to protect our rights and not to take them away. All people are equal in value and worth and should be treated as such. Government should work to have a fair playing field, but it shouldn't try to dictate the outcome. Also, of key importance is the value and sanctity of life. Whether the individual is still in the womb or disabled their life must be protected.
