Issue Position: Supporting the First Amendment

Issue Position

I fully support the First Amendment to the Constitution, which protects freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government to see redress of grievances. While these civil liberties are considered the cornerstone of our democracy, there have been threats to them in recent years. I strongly support a person's right to choose and practice their religion (or not) freely, and in the separation of church and state. I know that we are strongest when we have the ability to exercise our beliefs and convictions, free from coercion, intimidation or harassment.
