The Republican Creed

As a Republican I believe in:

"The Strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be honored. Equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. Free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity. The Government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. The proper role of government is to provide for the people only because those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least. The most effective, responsive government is the government closest to the people. Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times."
