"The proper role of government is to protect our religious liberties. We the people must be able to practice our religious freedoms. We are a nation of faith, inspired by God, and we must never forget the role religion has played in the foundation and formation of our country. We are �one nation under God,� and we should not forget this nor should we shy away from it."

15 — Utah's two U.S. senators are split over whether the federal constitution should be changed to protect the flag. Do you favor or oppose such an amendment?

"I am in favor of a constitutional amendment to protect the flag of the United States of America."

16 — Do you favor or oppose a U.S. constitutional amendment recognizing only traditional marriage, between one man and one woman?

"I favor a constitutional amendment as I believe marriage should be exclusively the union of one man and one woman. The American family is the cornerstone of this great country, and I will work tirelessly to protect its sanctity."

17 — Do you favor or oppose new nuclear power plants in the United States? In Utah?

"I support the development of additional nuclear power facilities in this country and in Utah. Nuclear energy has many advantages. It's clean, it's proven, and we can own the technology. We haven't built a nuclear power plant in this country in decades. That must change. We're going to have to accelerate legal authorization and environmental impact studies to pave the way for additional nuclear development. I oppose the importation of nuclear waste from other countries, and I oppose the utilization of Yucca Mountain."

18 — In your opinion, is global warming a fact? If not, what do you think is happening, if anything, to the Earth's climate?

"I believe global warming is a farce. Certainly the earth experiences patterns of climate change, as it has throughout time. I reject the notion that mankind is able to control those patterns or that we are solely to blame. Surely pollutants from around the world effect our environment, and we should be conservative in our approach. We have a stewardship of this planet and we must pursue cleaner energy and alternative fuels. I reject cap and trade policies that buy and sell credits for carbon emissions."

19 — Why would you make a better congressman than your Republican opponent?

"I intend to spend my political capital on the issues that matter most to Utah. I am passionate, tenacious, and driven by principle. Mr. Cannon has squandered his opportunities on issues Utahns don�t care about and he hasn�t been able to address the ones we do care about. I will fight to cut spending, develop a national energy policy, fix illegal immigration, and get the federal government out of local education. These are the issues Utahns want their Congressman to address."

20 — What is your greatest strength in being a congressman, what is your GOP opponent's greatest weakness?

"My greatest strength and my opponent�s greatest weakness are the same � the ability to communicate. I will passionately articulate Utah�s position to Washington. I will always make listening to constituents a priority for myself and my staff. Communication is a two-way street. Utahns deserve someone who can listen to them and then effectively articulate our perspective and values in Washington."
