During my time working for the Kentucky Family Association, I helped encourage state legislators to pass decent laws on a variety of topics, including student religious and political liberty, election security, child safety, and healthcare. In addition, we also got the nation's motto "In God We Trust" in the government K-12 schools.

​

The student religious and political liberty legislation included a recognition of the right of all students to pray while in school, as well as a myriad of other speech protections.

​​

The election security legislation included legislation to restrict the forms of identification that poll workers would accept as valid for identification to vote. We were able to get the Kentucky state legislature to remove debit cards, credit cards, EBT food stamp cards, and Social Security cards as accepted ID to vote in Kentucky. Along with eliminating the "personal acquaintance with a poll worker" option, this transformed Kentucky into a photo voter ID state but leaving in place an exception for those with a religious objection to being photographed. Those folks still have to get a name ID card from the state board of elections, which will know how many people are voting legally in that fashion. (It's a rather low amount.)

​​

The child safety legislation that we supported that became law included legislation to oppose the sexual blackmail of kids and teens online, as well as legislation that expanded the list of drugs that law enforcement could test for in urine drug tests, made it officially "abuse or neglect" for a parent to give his or her child street drugs like meth to ingest or inhale, and made it clear that people would fail the background test to become a foster parent or adopt a child if a registered sex-offender is living in the home.

​

The healthcare legislation included legislation intended to legalize more options for pregnant women for the birthing process (enabling free-standing birthing centers), as well as legislation to pause the organ donation process and perform a reassessment if the prospective organ donor had been declared deceased yet showed signs of life afterwards.

​​

In several cases, we were not the only organization in support of the legislation. Here are examples of other organizations that also supported some of the legislation that we promoted:

In addition, we have worked with Josh Calloway to try to refine the legislation on allowing the Ten Commandments in the K-12 government schools.
