Issue Position: Redeem Our Culture

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2011

VALUE LIFE
At every opportunity, we must defend the right to life of the unborn, the right to life of the weak and the elderly. And we must promote ethical scientific research that does not destroy human life at its earliest stages.


VALUE THE FAMILY
The family is based on the sanctity of marriage. Families are the building blocks of society. Families need to be supported with good jobs and good education.


VALUE THE COMMUNITY
Those who are less blessed are taken care of and this should be done at the community level if the family cannot. The government that is closest to the people is the most effective and efficient - the government of the community.


VALUE THE LAND AND NATURE
We should be good stewards of God's creation... cleaning our bayous and restoring our coastline, while also keeping the rights and resources for hunting and fishing so our traditions can flourish for generations to come.


VALUE WHO WE ARE & OUR LANGUAGE
We redeem our culture by living our French heritage and speaking our language, not by placing it in a glass case in some museum, but by affirming our identity in our language, our music, our food, our joie de vivre, our very lives. C'est qui on est. All of these values are who we are.
