| We Believe: |
 That the
right of the individual to achieve the best that
is within him, as long as he respects the rights
of
others, is the source of our Nation.
|
That the government exists to protect the freedom of opportunity
in which each individual's creative ability can flourish.
|
That the
most effective government is government closest to
the people.
|
That those
who cannot provide for themselves should be assisted
by both government and society, but that every effort
should be made to help them become self-supporting,
productive citizens with pride in their independence.
|
That
equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity belong
to all, regardless of race, creed, age or origin.
|
That 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.
|
That government is accountable for maintaining sound money
and a responsible economy, individual rights, liberties,
and properties are continually eroded when citizens
are oppressed by excessive taxation, inflation,
government waste and over-regulation.
|
That government is responsible for national defense and
that only a strong America can remain a free America.
|
That 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.
|
That these concepts are the foundation of our national strength
and that the REPUBLICAN PARTY, which
is committed to their preservation, is the PARTY FOR THE FUTURE.
