The Republican Philosophy |
The
right of the individual to achieve the best that is within him/her, as
long as he/she respects the rights of others, is the source of our
National strength.
Government exists to protect the freedom of opportunity in which each
individual's creative ability can flourish.
Government activities should be limited to those things which people
cannot do at all or cannot do as well for themselves.
Our
strength comes from diversity of opinion, experience and culture.
There is power in grassroots political activism.
The
most effective government is government closest to the people.
Both government and society should assist those who cannot provide for
themselves, but that every effort should be made to help them become
self-supporting, productive citizens with pride in their independence.
Women are the powerful force for change in the 21st century.
Equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity belong to all,
regardless of race, creed, age, sex, or national origin.
The
preservation of our Nation and the security of our citizens depend upon
the Constitution, the laws and the courts, and that respect for them is
the responsibility of every individual.
Government is accountable for maintaining sound money and a responsible
economy. Individual rights, liberties, and properties are continually
eroded when excessive taxation, inflation, government waste, and
over-regulation oppress citizens.
Government is responsible for national defense and that only a strong
America can remain a free America; it is absolutely essential to
maintain a strong national defense posture in order that we may at all
times negotiate from a position of strength, not weakness in our
continuing efforts toward world peace and friendship.
Government requires personal responsibility while protecting the worth
of the individual.
Our
legacy is developing political leaders for the future.
These concepts are the foundation of our national strength, and the
Republican Party, which is committed to their preservation, is the Party
of Today and the Party for the Future.
