Policy
Family
The foundation of a successful society lies within the institution of the family. We have an obligation to protect the integrity and autonomy of the family, with parents being the rightful leaders of the institution. By implementing sound, principled family policy, we protect every facet of our American way of life. With united families, we put our next generation in the best position to succeed by ensuring that they have the support and liberty to achieve the American dream.
A nation cannot stand without a unified people. That is why protecting the institution of the family is of utmost importance. As the individuals who know their children best, parents should know that the law serves to defend and protect their right to lead their family independent of undue government influence.
