Issues
Election Modernization
Free, fair, and honest elections are the cornerstone of any democracy. As technology evolves, opportunities exist to expand ballot access for all American citizens while improving the safety, security, and accuracy in our democratic process. At the same time, misinformation and foreign actors seek to delegitimize effective election administration. There is wide support for dedicating federal funding to help state and local election officials improve their systems in order to protect against foreign interference. About three-quarters of voters (73%) and two-thirds of Republicans (65%) would support this funding. Centerline Liberties believes that to truly have a strong democracy, we must bolster public confidence in our elections process by ensuring our elections officials have the resources, training, and infrastructure needed to maintain the security and integrity of the ballot counting process.
Immigration Reform & Border Security
America is a nation of immigrants. To continue attracting the most ambitious and entrepreneurial talent from around the world, and enhance American competitiveness, Congress must implement commonsense immigration reform and border security. Centerline Liberties believes policymakers in both parties must work together to pass reforms that secure the Southern border, meet our nation’s economic needs and protect the dignity of those for whom the torch of liberty burns brightest. Recent Gallup polling suggests that Americans are increasingly concerned about immigration, with only 28% of Americans being satisfied with the level of immigration to the United States. However, another poll of Republican voters by the American Principles Project shows that while immigration is the number two issue for these voters, a majority of them (59%) also support comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
America’s immigration system is complex, and a bipartisan solution is the only way to enhance our national security, protect our local communities, and maximize American competitiveness.
Conservation and Clean Energy Infrastructure
Environmental stewardship is too important of an issue to let the extremes within either political party stand in the way of commonsense solutions. Centerline Liberties knows America can reduce the effects of climate change on our economic and national security by investing in an advanced, clean energy manufacturing and infrastructure. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of voters think clean energy incentives and investments will have a positive impact on our country. Innovation and bipartisan solutions are how we will successfully leverage America’s competitive advantage to drive other nations to lower their carbon emissions, while increasing job creation and maintaining a strong economy here at home.
LGBT Freedom
The United States was founded on the belief that all individuals are created equal. Likewise, Centerline Liberties was created to support the constitutional freedoms and liberties of all Americans, including members of the LGBT community. Centerline Liberties was proud to have successfully worked with solutions-oriented conservative and centrist leaders to secure and protect the freedom to marry. Nearly three-fourths (72%) of registered voters agree that same-sex marriage should remain legal, with a majority (56%) of Republicans saying the same. Centerline Liberties will strive to create a more inclusive society for all Americans through bipartisan policies that advances our core principle that everyone is created equally.
Contraceptive Care and Access
Contraception has been legal in the United States for over 50 years and yet continued access remains uncertain for millions of Americans. Voters overwhelmingly agree that increasing access to contraception is a “freedom issue.” Among voters, a strong bipartisan majority of 87% believe that increasing access to contraception is a freedom issue. It is about giving people the freedom to make decisions for themselves and their families. Centerline Liberties, along with large majorities of Republican (85%), Democratic (94%), and Independent (93%) voters, believe that contraception should be accessible and affordable to all Americans. Centerline Liberties will work with solutions-oriented policymakers at all levels of government to maintain safe and reliable access to contraceptives.
