Campaign themes
2016
Harber's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Federal Overreach
- Excerpt: "The federal government, and the Indiana government, have very defined operating instructions. These operating instructions are documented in our constitutions. Indiana must stop allowing the federal government to run over Hoosiers at their will and our Indiana State Constitution."
Education
- Excerpt: "Our education system has many flaws. None of them is the amount of money we throw at it. The Indiana Constitution places the responsibility for the structure of the ‘Common School System’ in the purview of the General Assembly. Indiana needs to demand more from our schools' educational standards."
Firearms
- Excerpt: "Our constitution in Indiana protects our right to keep and bear arms (which includes magazines and ammunition)."
Religious Liberty
- Excerpt: "Our Indiana Constitution protects our right of religious freedom. No law can violate this. None. The argument of ‘a compelling governmental interest’ allows our constitutions to be violated is a absurdity."
Abortion
- Excerpt: "Contrary to what we are told, abortion is not the law of the land. A U.S. Supreme Court opinion, based on the 14th Amendment, is a farce and is not law. If the citizens of Indiana want to stop abortion, the General Assembly has the authority and needs to either pass a law banning abortion within Indiana or amend the Indiana Constitution doing the same."
