FREEDOM TO BELIEVE AND ACT
- All Americans should remain free to believe and act in the public square based on their beliefs without fear of government penalty.
TRUE TOLERANCE
- All people do not have to hold the same beliefs to recognize that people should have the freedom to run their businesses in accordance with their values.
- All people have differences, but being able to still live harmoniously with each other, despite those differences, is what true tolerance is all about.
POLICY PROPOSALS
