Principles
of Republican Party
 | 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. |
