Colorado Springs, Colo. – Florida Family Policy Council, and the national association of nearly 40 state-based family policy councils representing millions of Evangelicals nationwide, today released an open letter to presidential candidate Donald Trump calling on him to answer direct questions on his policy positions.

John Stemberger, President & General Counsel of Florida Family Action, said “Time is ticking, and we want Mr. Trump to clear up his record on the issues which is riddled with contradictions.”

The Florida Family Policy Council and its sister lobbying organization Florida Family Action have not endorsed any candidate. All leading conservative candidates have been invited to participate in CitizenLink’s national Presidential Candidate Teleconferences. So far, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Ted Cruz, and former Governor Jeb Bush have participated on the calls, as well as former Senator Rick Santorum and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, prior to suspending their campaigns. Dr. Ben Carson is scheduled to do so later this month.

“With the recent passing of conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the future of our core issues relating to life, marriage and family structures and religious liberty hang in the balance,” Stemberger explained. “Mr. Trump’s public comments about nominating judges with the same temperament as his sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, who overturned the New Jersey Partial-Birth Abortion Ban, are particularly concerning to Christians and should be to all Americans.”

TALLAHASSEE, FL – There is a lot to like about Donald Trump. He’s entertaining, tough, and anti-establishment. Despite these factors, are there things about Trump’s life, background and views that should give all conservatives, and especially Christian conservatives, pause or even great cause for concern? In conservative activist John Stemberger’s view, conservative voters who are considering supporting Trump should be asking themselves three important questions:

1. What is Donald Trump’s political history and voting record?
2. Do Donald Trump’s liberal positions on policy issues tell us how he would govern as president?
3. Does Donald Trump have the kind of character and integrity that can be trusted?

Stemberger lays out the answers to these questions with facts from Trump directly in this new piece for Newsmax, published today.

“Donald Trump has clearly hit a raw nerve with conservatives who are frustrated with Washington D.C,” said Mr. Stemberger. “But Trump’s politics and values are no different — and maybe worse — than most Washington politicians, including major support for Democrats, voting for Barack Obama, and taking liberal positions on major policy issues. He is still considering a third party run and has proven to be demeaning and degrading to women.”

“Is this really the kind of man we want to lead and represent America?”

John Stemberger is an attorney and national conservative leader based out of Orlando, Florida. He is a former Political Director of the Republican Party of Florida. He has a unique understanding of law, government, and the media from his extensive political background, and has been a consultant to state, federal, and presidential campaigns. For the past ten years Stemberger has served as President and General Counsel of Florida Family Action.

Florida Family Action (FFA) is the legislative arm of the Florida Family Policy Council. The organization provides a platform for informing, inspiring and rallying those who care deeply about the family to greater involvement in the moral, cultural and political issues that threaten our state and nation.
