Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Chabot's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Gun Control: I stand with Thomas Jefferson, Mahatma Gandhi, Patrick Henry, and every tyrant in the world when I say that no free person should ever be debarred from the right to self defense, and as such, I believe that we should enforce laws against actions which cause harm. Possession in and of itself should NEVER be a crime. That said, I AM in favor of mandatory safety training for everyone who wishes to own a firearm. The War on Terror: Perpetual, un-winnable wars are a waste of resources and lives. “Terror” is an idea. Have you ever seen the movie, “V for Vendetta”? You cannot win when you fight an idea. I believe we have perpetrated enough damage upon the Middle East. It is time we acknowledged our mistake (see “Principles” section) and change our course. Time to pull our troops out and – IF invited – to provide non-combat, humanitarian relief. Abortion: I stand in a tough position. I was adopted. I was born just before Roe vs. Wade. I was born to a 16 year old girl. I have seen adoption as a good choice in more cases than just my own. At the same time, though, I am not a medical doctor. Abortion is a medical procedure and thus should be left to the choice made by the woman and her physician. The War on Drugs: It has sucked the American People dry. It is a war on an idea (see above). It is a series of laws banning possession (see elsewhere above). Let the FDA continue to regulate the safety of commerce regarding drugs. Growing, harvesting, and using natural flora should not be illegal. I am against “medical marijuana” because we have THC already available. I am FOR the complete and total legalization of cannabis sativa and any other naturally occurring substance. National Defense & the US Military: I stand for a smaller, stronger, better trained, better paid military. I stand for bringing our troops home from messing around in the affairs of other nations. The idea I have for our Military is a small group of modern knights, fighting for peace and justice and all that is good. I envision them as protectors first and foremost, of the United States of America. I would like to see our standing military reduced in size and our volunteer militia increased and reorganized.	”
