I AM A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE …
I believe the strength of our nation lies with
the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and
responsibility must be honored.
I believe in equal rights, equal justice and
equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or
disability.
I believe free enterprise and encouraging
individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic
growth and prosperity.
I believe government must practice fiscal
responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I believe the proper role of government is to provide
for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by
individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that
which governs least.
I believe the most effective, responsible and
responsive government is government closest to the people.
I believe Americans must retain the principles
that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to
meet the challenges of changing times.
I believe Americans value and should preserve
our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom
and human rights throughout the world.
Finally, I believe the Republican Party is the
best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful
principles of government.
