Throughout his campaign he would join pro-life groups praying the Rosary in front of abortuaries, speaking out strongly on Catholic ideals and moral values without patronizing the people. In short, with Alan Keyes one knew they were getting a man with principles who would never compromise his ideals or values. While others spouted the party line or said what the people wanted to hear, often doublespeaking to win votes with no conviction to truth, Alan has never waivered. His position is quite clear and in total accord with the Holy Father and the Church's teaching. I strongly support abstinence-based approaches for young adults.
Race is a condition beyond the individual's control.
I oppose any efforts to use government power to impose views that contravene religious conscience on matters such as homosexuality and abortion. The disintegration of the family is the major contributing factor in poverty, crime, violence, the decline in educational performance, and a host of other expensive social problems. Except for references to Scripture and Vatican documents, his words echo the Holy Father in style and content. For more on Keyes, you can go to his site at Alan Keyes Show and Keyes 2000 . Because of the anti-Catholic sentiment among the media and other denominations, Keyes' candidacy is not expected to receive much support for the 2000 campaign similar to the way he was shunned in the 1996 campaign especially in Atlanta where he was arrested outside a television studio where he was to participate in a debate with a panel of candidates.
