I believe that the government should not favor any religion, belief, or philosophy over others, and should not restrict freedom of speech or of the press, or the freedom to practice any peaceful religion, belief philosophy, or lifestyle; that people of any race, ethnicity, minority opinion, gender, or lifestyle should have the same legal rights as everyone else; and that laws should not discriminate against any group, and should also not favor one group over another.

I believe in and will support the passage of legislation that will provide gay and lesbian couples the legal right to marry in the state of New Hampshire.

I believe strongly that there should be strong laws against fraud in employment practices. For example, no company should be allowed to mislead a worker into believing that working conditions are safe if there are chemical or other hazards of which the company is aware.

I believe that there should be strong laws against polluting the air or water that others must use. We should remove government obstacles that prevent individuals from suing companies for polluting. In addition, we should remove laws that require victims to first spend time asking government administrative bureaucracies to look into a situation, rather than letting the victims immediately pursue a court action against a company. Also, the government should not subsidize developers.

I believe that our government should not subsidize special interests. For example, corporate welfare should not be provided by government. Also, government should not protect corporations from competition, by such means as monopolistic types of licensing laws, not related to safety or consumer protection. For example, license fees should be no higher than administrative costs, and there should be no arbitrary quotas on the number of licenses issued. There should also be strong laws against business fraud and false advertising, which violate agreements made with others.
