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 , regardless of
race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I
believe that free enterprise and the
encouragement of 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 the 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.
