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 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.
