I'm GOP Because...

I am a Republican because . . .
I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
 

I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
 

I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have  brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
 

I believe the government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
 

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.
 

I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
 

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.
 

I believe Americans value and should preserve  our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom  and human rights throughout the world.
 

Finally, I believe the  Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into  positive and successful principles of government.
