WHY WE ARE REPUBLICAN
We believe in the promise of America and the goodness of the American people.
We believe that the roots of our society are found in strong families, personal faith, solid communities, and love of country.
We believe that our flag, the “Stars and Stripes”, is a true and unique symbol of the pride and patriotism Americans share in their beloved nation.
We believe that America is still the “shining city on a hill” and represents the dreams and aspirations of current and future generations of American citizens.
We believe that our government is best when it is closest to the people that it serves.
We believe that government and governmental programs should be efficient and provide full accountability for the practices and policies its leaders propose and implement.
We believe in the spirit of free enterprise, in which capitalism is the best means to keep our economy running strong, both now and in the future.
We believe that while government can and should be the provider of some essential services, it should function with limited taxation, financial efficiency, and the adoption of innovations to allow taxpayers to get the most for their hard earned tax dollar.
We believe that America’s military is the most powerful military force in the world and that our brave men and women who serve our nation deserve the respect and admiration a grateful nation can bestow.
We believe that government's first and foremost responsibility is the providing of safety and security to our citizens.
We believe that the rights of law-abiding citizens should outweigh the rights of criminals and the enforcement of existing laws, combined with the addition of innovative, common-sense policies is the best means of furthering a civil society.
We believe that our natural environment is a precious resource for all humankind and that citizens and government should work together to implement common-sense policies that allow for both environmental protection and economic growth.
We believe that in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, all persons are created equal and that we oppose discrimination in any form, against any person and for any reason.
We believe in the inclusive political party, a party with a “big-tent” approach where we are encouraged to share our beliefs and to disagree with those who share opposing viewpoints.
