Sharron Angle doesn't believe gays should be able to adopt, according to a questionnaire she filled out. Angle opposes gay adoption

Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle believes that gays should not be allowed to adopt children and that religious leaders should be allowed to endorse political candidates, contrary to a federal ban on churches participating in political campaigns on behalf of candidates, according to a questionnaire obtained by the Associated Press.

Angle submitted the questionnaire with 36 yes-or-no answers to the Government is not God political action committee, which has endorsed her campaign.


The PAC has endorsed seven other GOP senate candidates, including Florida’s Marco Rubio, California’s Carly Fiorina, South Carolina’s Jim DeMint and Arizona’s J.D. Hayworth.

According to the group’s website, the goal of the Government is not God PAC is “the election to Congress of men and women who hold conservative beliefs on both moral and economic issues."

Candidates seeking the PAC’s endorsement must “complete a questionnaire concerning their stand on issues such as abortion, gambling, drug use, home schooling, school prayer, property rights, Second Amendment rights, welfare, defense and taxation,” the website says.

Asked about Angle's answers, her spokesman Jarrod Agen said, "This nation has a long history of clergy speaking their conscience, whether you're talking about the Founding Fathers or Martin Luther King. As a strong believer in the First Amendment, Sharron Angle believes it is improper for the federal government to use the threat of revoking tax exempt status against churches and pastors."

"Sharron Angle," Agen added, "believes that ideally, children should have a relationship with both a mother and a father and our adoption policy should reflect that."

"As a grandmother of ten and a former teacher, nobody is more concerned about our kids' education than Sharron Angle. As Sharron has said many times, education is best handled at the local level, not by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. delivering unfunded mandates like 'No Child Left Behind.'"
