I am a Republican Because
I Believe...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... Good government is based
upon the individual and that each person's ability, dignity, freedom,
and responsibility must be honored and recognized.
I Believe... The free enterprise and
the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive have given this
nation an economic system second to none.
I Believe... Sound money management
should be our goal.
I Believe... In equal right, 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.
I Believe... The Republican Party is
the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and
successful principles of government.
