Issue Positions
For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2020.
- "Government is a blunt instrument. Protecting women and the unborn requires judgment and finesse. I trust the judgment and finesse of women with their doctors and ministers to do what is right more than I trust the government. The government has no rightful place in this decision. The government should neither prohibit nor fund abortions." (www.perry4ky.com)
- "When the government takes wealth in the form of taxes, it is always at the expense of something or someone that the taxpayers would have invested in. This is not to say that all taxes should be avoided, but for each dollar the government spends, it should acknowledge that some bit of what the taxpayers have been working for has been taken from them. The government has a fiduciary responsibility to assure that every dollar it spends is of substantial benefit to them. Investment in industry and enterprise should be left entirely to the people, not the government." (www.perry4ky.com)

- "We do need a technologically advanced, well trained, properly funded, non-mandatory military that has the ability to project power toward those countries who would violate our liberty. Our ability to project military power must never be any concern to those who mean us no harm." (www.perry4ky.com)

- "Robert is a strong advocate of the second amendment. We all have a right to life, liberty, and property. We also have a right to use force in defense of these rights. Depriving anyone of their ability to defend themselves is in itself a form of aggression, just as much as violating their life, liberty, or property. For this reason, Robert rejects any and all movements that omit due process while depriving individuals of their right to defend themselves." (www.perry4ky.com)

- "Millions of people have been smuggled into our country. They have grown up here knowing no other home. They live in constant fear of deportation. Those people have been here so long that they are part of us. It is unreasonable to require them to leave or ask a country of origin that they never knew to take them back. Above all, it is immoral to leave this unresolved." (www.perry4ky.com)
