John Cox on Jobs

Republican Party Chair, Cook County (IL)

No "sexual orientation" in Employment Non-Discrimination Act

Q: I own a motion picture film lab that came under fire by the Arlington Human Rights Commission because I refused to duplicate objectionable pro-homosexual material. Would you protect business owners like me from being forced to violate our moral conscience by vetoing the so-called "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" that would add the phrase "sexual orientation" into federal law?

HUCKABEE: Yes.
TANCREDO:Yes.
COX: Yes.
BROWNBACK:Yes.
PAUL:Yes.
HUNTER:Yes.
KEYES: Yes.

No minimum wage; let free market set wages

Q: Under a Cox administration, will you support the current federal minimum wage?

A: I do not support the minimum wage or have the government setting wages or prices. This always has backfired in American history. The free market is the best place to set wages.
