Guns : Do you support restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns? Issue Position: 2nd Amendment. Since the age of twelve, when I passed my first gun safety class, I've enjoyed the privilege afforded us by the right to bear arms.
While serving in the Minnesota State Senate I supported and helped pass the Minnesota Personal Protection Act and legislation to protect local shooting ranges. I will fight to uphold our 2nd Amendment rights as a member of Congress. I am a strong advocate of Minnesota's hunting and fishing heritage, and I firmly support the right of law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
Our Founding Fathers considered this right so fundamental that they protected it in the Second Amendment of the U. The Second Amendment states that the people's right to keep and bear arms may not be infringed, and I believe that citizens who are in compliance with the law should not have that guaranteed right taken away. Residents' Second Amendment Rights. C residents by their extraordinarily restrictive firearm ban.
Big Win Today for the Second Amendment. While Second Amendment advocates celebrate a victory, I have to point out what's so shocking about the ruling: it had to come from the Supreme Court. Contrary to what local and appellate courts ruled previously in this case, the Supreme Court today affirmed that the Constitution of the United States is a document that covers every citizen regardless of gender, age or hometown and as such, the Second Amendment is a right of every American citizen.
The United States Constitution was written to be timeless and universal in its application and as the Senate begins hearings today to confirm the nomination of Elena Kagan to the highest court in our Nation, it's important to remember that judicial activism has no place in America's courts. It's my sincere hope that with today's ruling, we will see a renewed trust and implementation of the Constitutional rights our forefathers designated to be the eternal rule of the land.
Our founders, recognizing the importance of this, codified it directly into our Bill of Rights. It is my view that our Second Amendment must be protected and preserved for our children and grandchildren.
I am also a proud member of the bipartisan Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, a group committed to fish and wildlife conservation and the preservation of opportunities to hunt, fish and trap. Repealing Portions of the D. Firearm Ban. National Rifle Association endorsed Michele Bachmann in the general election.
Employers who are facing skyrocketing health insurance premiums are waiting to hire, dropping health coverage and even laying off workers [ Repealing the Health Care Bill. They expect us to act like adults and start cutting the deficit. One item to put on the table is Obamacare. I introduced the first repeal bill in the House the morning after the monstrosity passed. Iowa Republican Debate.
If the federal government can force American citizens or if a state can force their citizens to purchase health insurance, there is nothing that the state cannot do. This is clearly an unconstitutional action, whether it's done at the federal level or whether it's the state level.
And I will not rest, as the president of the United States, until we repeal Obamacare. Immigration : Do you support requiring illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? Issue Position: Immigration. I support legislation that first addresses our most urgent problem: securing America's borders.
We must start by using new technologies such as electronic surveillance where most effective. We need to enforce current laws by holding responsible those who willfully violate our nation's immigration laws. Also, reforming the current system for processing legal applicants for immigration must occur before attempting to add new programs to an already overburdened system. It makes 11 million illegal workers legal overnight.
And he was in support of the federal DREAM Act, which is federal taxpayer subsidies for the children of illegal aliens for their college tuition. This is not where the American people are at. I have opposed these measures. And there's a clear line of distinction when it comes to immigration. Newt Gingrich has the lowest grade of a D-minus on immigration.
I have the highest grade of anyone in the field. I will build a fence. I will secure the border. And I'll make English the official language of the United States government. Obama's Blatant Disregard for the Constitution is Appalling. Even through Congress disagreed, the President was happy to circumvent the Constitution in order to protect younger illegal immigrants from deportation and hand them work permits.
President, I urge you, stop your autocratic reign; drop everything you are doing and read the Constitution. You will be well-served to remember the document that you swore to preserve, protect and defend.
Americans for Legal Immigration endorsed Michele Bachmann in the general election. Obtaining the 'American Dream' is an inherent part of our nation's spirit and we should encourage those who enter our country legally to achieve it.
However, we are also a nation founded on the rule of law and we must ensure U. Immigration Reform. Those who approach our immigration system legally and work through the established process should be welcomed. However, any proposal for reform must not reward those who choose to break our laws by entering the country illegally.
Instead, strong enforcement of current laws, at the border and in the workplace, as well as improved efficiency in our application system, should be the first steps in any reform plan.
Marriage : Do you support same-sex marriage? American Family Association. Two, nominate to the U. Supreme Court and federal bench judges who are committed to restraint and to applying the original meaning of the Constitution, appoint an attorney general similarly committed, and thus reject the idea our Founding fathers inserted a right to gay marriage into our Constitution.
Three, defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act vigorously in court. Four, establish a presidential commission on religious liberty to investigate and document reports of Americans who have been harassed or threatened for exercising key civil rights to organize, to speak, to donate or to vote for marriage and to propose new protections, if needed. Five, advance legislation to return to the people of the District of Columbia their right to vote on marriage.
