Banning Abortion in Ohio
The right to life is God-given and inalienable.  The right to live cannot be legitimately usurped by men, whether they be parents, legislators, or judges.  No man, no government has the right to deprive one of life or liberty without a trial by jury, regardless of skin color, age, stage of development, level of dependence upon others for survival, or place of residence.

Jobs and Taxes
“It’s time to pull back the reins on the ever-growing, bureaucracy-breeding state that’s galloping headlong towards a cliff of economic bankruptcy and state dependency, and restore power to the people.”

Keeping and Bearing Arms
The Second Amendment guarantees a personal right to keep and bear arms,and I am committed to protect this basic constitutional right. History is full of examples of tyrants such as Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, and Mao tse Tung, first disarming, then terrorizing their subjects.

The Right Remedy for Public Education
All children should enjoy a high-quality education in a secure environment that prepares them for life. Are we willing to provide this for our children even if it means major reform of the educational system? I believe that we desperately need a separation of school and state and the introduction of a free-market based education system that takes power out of the hands of the bureaucrats and puts it back into the hands of the parents and local educators. Public education shouldn’t be about what’s best for the government-controlled system – it should be about what’s best for the kids.
