Bill Beardsley: I Believe | As Maine Goes
William Beardsley, one seven or so men seeking the Republican nomination for Governor, has issued a strong statement of his core beliefs. Well worth 5 minutes of our time to read it.
Bill Beardsley: I Believe | As Maine Goes.
Excerpt:
Conservatives do not pick and choose which right in the Bill of Rights to honor. They are all of equal importance. We start with the premise that freedom begins with the individual and should only be limited by government reluctantly and with the greatest care. To be conservative in my book means that you start by protecting that which you have which is good, such as traditional marriage and life, and build everything else around the protection of those good things.
Another:
Conservatives rightly focus on the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, the right to bear arms and our core American values because we believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, our faith, family and community. Furthermore, we need not cede the higher ground on the conservation of our natural resources, an issue that recently has been owned by liberals.
