He supports reduction in the size of government and the amount of taxes levied on the citizens. Education Today, Idaho said to be the freest state in the Union for homeschooling. I want to keep it that way. I believe that parents have the ultimate jurisdiction over their children when it comes to education. Abortion / Contraception Phil believes life begins at conception and the unborn child has God-given rights to life protected by the United States Constitution. The American people should not be forced through taxation to pay for abortions. Civil Rights The protection of Civil Liberties is key to a free State, according to Phil. Economy Phil believes that foods grown, produced and sold in Idaho are beyond the authority of Congress to regulate. Economy As a small business owner himself, Phil understands the need to ease the burdensome taxes and regulations stifling Idaho’s small businesses, and taking our jobs with them. Government Reform Phil supports the return of Federal Lands in Idaho to the State and the protection of State’s rights over Federal encroachment. Education Phil emphatically supports creating opportunity for educational choice. Parents who choose schooling for their children outside of the public school system should not have to pay twice for their children’s education.
