Abortion: Rob is a passionate pro-life advocate. As a citizen, state legislator and congressman he has tirelessly fought to protect the rights of the unborn. He highly values the sanctity of human life and will continue to fight for this cause.

Border Security And Immigration: We need to secure the borders and better enforce the laws already on the books, and that’s the way Rob votes. He is the lead sponsor of HR 1505, legislation ensuring border security takes priority over environmental land regulations.

The prudent development of our natural resources and energy not only adds to our energy independence but also greatly impacts job growth and economic recovery.

Federalism – The Founders’ Formula For Freedom: Rob has basically had one main goal in Washington – to lose power. The solution to so many problems is a return to the Constitutional principle of Federalism and the 10th Amendment – returning power, money and control back to states and to the people. Rob is a member of the Constitution Caucus and is the leader of the 10th Amendment Task Force and consistently fights to limit the federal government’s encroachment in our lives.|author=Rob Bishop's campaign website|source=http://www.votebishop.com/issues-and-solutions

According to Bishop's website, his campaign themes included:[11]

Education: "We are counterproductive when we waste money on one-size-fits-all federal programs that bind the hands of creative teachers and administrators at the local level."

Energy: "...development of our natural resources and energy not only adds to our energy independence but also greatly impacts job growth and economic recovery."

Economy: "the only solution to the economic crisis we continue to face is hard work, creativity and the free market, not massive government spending on federal programs that only further our nation’s great debt."
