Campaign website
Kirtley's campaign website stated the following:
Abolish Ice
Due Process is a right; not a privilege. Any one person, any one thing or any entity that prohibits our basic Constitutional Rights – considered by some to have a sacredness- especially Rights of Freedoms of Speech, Assembly, Peaceful Protest, and Religion & Due Process – should not exist.
Fair & Safe Voting in All Elections
Life, Liberty, and Justice for All means every American gets have one vote; no more and no less; additional votes individually can neither be bought nor sold; these principles ensure every individual has equal opportunity and voice in the voting booth.
Factual News Agencies
We the People deserve and have the right to factual political information through all “News” entities whether televised; streamed, written; spoken or otherwise. News agencies must be trustworthy. National News Stations and News Papers must be required to adhere to ethical dissemination of truthful speech and information. “Freedom of the Press” is sacred. Americans have the right to news being factual and truthful – therefore entities that provide facts would be the only to be granted this title per legislation and would help to make news and government trustworthy again.
Codify Roe
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness includes a Woman’s Right to Choose. The female body does not change when lines are crossed and therefore neither should basic rights to healthcare or the right to choose it. Every person has the right to safe and medically factual information regarding all aspects of healthcare and should absolutely have the right to all healthcare options. Our Bodies don’t change as we cross state lines and neither should the laws governing them. This is a choice that is between a woman, her doctor, and her God.
Protect Constitutional Rights
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
