I'm 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 the best government is that which governs least.
• I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible 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 in America's 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.

5 Reasons You Should Vote Republican

Unalienable Rights

We believe, as our founder expressed in the Declaration of Independence, that man's rights flow from the Creator God, and that the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness unalienable and cannot be legitimately granted or rescinded by men.

Self Government

We believe that the only answer to the current moral decline in our nation is a return to the beliefs and standards of morality which our Founding Fathers placed into the Constitution. We understand that the concept of self-government begins with governing one's self first, then family, community, state, and nation.

Education

We believe in the rights of parents to a quality education for their children. We support parental choice to create competition among schools. We must insure that no school or teacher's union can compromise the education of our children or advance a particular political agenda at the expense of our future generation's educations.

Taxes

We believe that the federal tax system is abusive to the American people while discouraging investment and growth. We believe in growth-oriented tax policies which would gradually eliminate punitive income taxes and move our tax system toward that originally established by our Founding Fathers.

Family/Sanctity of Life

We believe that the traditional "nuclear" American family, consisting of persons related by blood or adoption through the marriage of one man and one woman is the cornerstone of our American society, and the civil government is duty bound to honor and protect the integrity of the family unit through legislation and tax policies.

We believe that the preborn child, from conception at fertilization to the end of natural life, is a human being possessing the same unalienable rights as all other people and entitled to the full protection of the law.

Additionally: Right to Bear Arms, National Defense, Victim's Rights, National Sovereignty and Decentralized Government.
