Issue Position: Compassionate Conservatism

"I strongly believe in core Texas values - encouraging personal responsibility, compassion for others, and supporting family values. Strong families are the foundation for a prosperous and civilized society, and a compassionate government recognizes their importance in fostering successful communities, happier homes, and healthier lives."

-- U.S. Senator John Cornyn

* I strongly believe that every individual is worthy of respect, and that the traditional institution of marriage is worthy of protection.
* I support providing opportunity for all and removing government limitations on freedom so that every citizen has the chance to realize the American dream.
* Government must provide a "hand-up" for citizens, not merely a "hand-out." The best gifts government can give to citizens are the ability and skills to improve their own lives.
* I support the reauthorization of our nation's welfare laws. We must continue to ensure that the neediest Americans receive assistance in caring for their families while they work to achieve independence.
