Why
I Am A Republican
I believe that the proper function of government is to do for the
people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot
be done as well, by individuals, and that the most effective government
is government closest to the people.
I believe that good government is based on the individual and that each
person's ability, dignity, freedom, and responsibility must be honored
and recognized.
I believe that free enterprise and the encouragement
of individual initiative and incentive have given this nation an
economic system second to none.
I believe that sound money management should be our
goal.
I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal
opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, age sex or national
origin.
I believe we must retain those principles of the past
worth retaining, yet always be receptive to new ideas with an outlook
broad enough to accommodate thoughtful change and varying points of
view.
I believe that Americans value and should preserve
their feeling of national strength and pride, and at the same time share
with people everywhere a desire for peace and freedom and the extension
of human rights throughout the world.
Finally, I believe that the Republican Party is the
best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful
principles of government.
