Maine 2016 State Legislative

Dear Supporter,

Campaign for Liberty gave candidates for State Legislature an opportunity to provide a straight answer to the following questions. The candidates’ answers can be seen below the list of questions. Because the vast majority of states do not include 3rd party candidates in the Primary process, Campaign for Liberty policy is to survey 3rd party candidates for General elections, except in Jungle Primary states.

Survey Questions

1. Will you oppose all tax and fee increases?

2. Do you oppose taking federal money to expand Medicaid?

3. Will you oppose any bill that impedes free speech, including any so-called ethics reform bill that would require a citizen organization to divulge its donor or member information?

4. Will you oppose any attempts to repeal civil asset forfeiture reforms that would end "policing for profit", require charges be filed before any assets are seized by law enforcement, and ensure that property is returned if charges are dropped or the suspect is acquitted?

5. Do you oppose the use of unmanned law enforcement devices being used to penalize citizens?

6. Will you support repeal of Maine’s participation in Common Core?

7. Will you support legislation modeled after Utah’s laws, authorizing the state to use eminent domain to regain control of lands taken by the federal government within its own borders?
