Issue Position: Freedom

Issue Position

We have freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and by the Constitution of Maine. We need to be ever vigilant that lawmakers in Augusta don't write laws that encroach on or inhibit those freedoms in any way. Some might argue that small "tweaks" to the practice of our freedoms might be ok in order to maintain order and discipline in our society. Legislators must resist those "little" encroachments to our freedoms under the guise of civil order and safety. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Ben Franklin.
