The Issues by William Coit
Monday, November 26, 2001

School Prayer

I support H.J. RES.52 Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to school prayer.

Abortion

As a candidate who respects the sanctity and dignity of life, I support legislation that:

  1. That prevents federal taxpayer funds from being used to carry out abortion.
  2. Expands tax credits and other support for adoption.
  3. Supports a full ban on human cloning.
  4. Supports a ban on partial birth abortion.
  5. Supports parental notification.

Affirmative Action

I support the concept of affirmative action to remove the last vestiges of institutional racism. I believe in equal opportunity not quotas.

Child Support

I support the Child Support Distribution Act of 2001 (H.R.1471) that would have allowed families leaving welfare to keep a larger share of past-due child support payments collected by state agencies on their behalf. The bill would have transferred as much as $3.5 billion to such families over five years. It also included the "Fathers Count" provisions targeting job training and placement assistance to low-income fathers.

Paid Maternity Leave

I support the Federal Family Leave Act that gives mothers and fathers time off to care for a new born baby.

Child Care Tax Breaks

I support (H.R.253) Tax Relief For Families With Children Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the dependent care tax credit to: (1) increase the dollar limit on creditable employment-related expenses; (2) increase the percentage of employment-related expenses; and (3) include transportation costs and costs of educational programs. Increases the child care credit to $900.

Drunk Driving

I support legislation to strengthen the penalties for individuals that drive under the influence of alcohol.

Racial Profiling

I support (H.R.2074) End Racial Profiling Act of 2001 - Prohibits any law enforcement agency or agent from engaging in racial profiling. Authorizes the United States, or an individual injured by racial profiling, to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to enforce this prohibition.

Welfare Reform

I support legislation to force Americans from a system of dependency to one where self-reliance is the goal. Additional reform should mandate recipients enroll in technical, college, or job-training to continue receiving benefits.
