Elizabeth Dole on Families & Children

2000 Republican Primary Candidate for President; NC Sr Senator


Protect Children from Sexual Material on the Internet

In today’s world where the Internet and chat rooms have become second nature to second graders, parents need help. When a child visits a library they should not be able to pull up pornographic information on the web. It simply should not be an option. It’s comforting for parents and teachers to know that children can surf the web without running into pornographic waters. That’s the way it should be. The technology exists for filters to be installed on computers to block easy access to pornography.

Littleton due to lack of school discipline, not TV

[Regarding] the terrible events in Littleton: We must return discipline to the schools and give schools the authority to remove troubled students from the classroom so they can get the help they need. There’s also been a lot of discussion about the bad effects of popular culture - especially the violence in video games, movies and TV. Stopping the violence . the cruelty and vulgar ideas . is not a reason for government censorship. It is a responsibility for society [and] the corporate world.

Supported raising the drinking age to 21

As Secretary of Transportation, I did not shy away from Washington’s traditional responsibility to advocate, and, where absolutely necessary, regulate. So we successfully pressed legislation raising the drinking age to 21, working with grassroots heroes like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.

Dole scores 100% by the Christian Coalition on family issues

The Christian Coalition was founded in 1989 by Dr. Pat Robertson to give Christians a voice in government. We represent millions of people of faith and enable them to have a strong, unified voice in the conversation we call democracy.

    Our Five-Fold Mission:
  1. Represent the pro-family point of view before local councils, school boards, state legislatures, and Congress
  2. Speak out in the public arena and in the media
  3. Train leaders for effective social and political action
  4. Inform pro-family voters about timely issues and legislation
  5. Protest anti-Christian bigotry and defend the rights of people of faith.
Our ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
