Top Ten List –
I am a Republican Because:
1. I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity,
freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
2. I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless
of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
3. I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation
opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
4. I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals
to keep more of the money they earn.
5. 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 that the best government is that which governs least.
6. I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government
is government closest to the people.
7. 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.
8. I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride
while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
9. I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals
into positive and success principles of government.
10. Finally, as a Republican I believe I have a responsibility to be involved in ensuring good
government so that the sacrifices of the many who have gone before me were not in vain.
