Protection from Internet Pornography
Internet filters are needed to protect schoolchildren from accidentally downloading pornography while on computers in our libraries and schools. I co-sponsored legislation on this issue; it did not become law. This issue remains vitally important. I will support all efforts to put commonsense and decent restraints in place to protect our young people.

Federal Marriage Amendment
Coloradoans spoke on this issue before when they passed the Defense of Marriage Act. I also support the Federal Marriage Amendment. I believe that marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman. This amendment needs to be added to the Constitution. It does not diminish the civil rights of gays and lesbians; it protects the definition of traditional marriage, which is the backbone of our great nation.

The Right-to-Life
According to statistics from October, 2003 to July, 2004, every month in the Planned Parenthood clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado, an average of 131 unborn babies are aborted. This practice is legal, but it is not right, moral, or just. Life begins at conception. The decision to make abortion legal in this country should be overturned. We need to value and protect all human life.
