We believe that the proper function of government is to do for the
people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot
be done as well by individuals, and that the most effective government
is government closest to the people.
We believe that good government is based on the individual and that
each person's ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility must be
honored and recognized.
We believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual
initiative and incentive have given this nation an economic system
second to none.
We believe that sound money policy should be our goal.
We believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for
all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex or national origin, and we
believe that persons with disabilities should be afforded equal rights,
equal justice and equal opportunity as well.
We believe we must retain those principles worth retaining, yet always
be receptive to new ideas with an outlook broad enough to accommodate
thoughtful change and varying points of view.
We believe the Americans value and should preserve their feeling of
national strength and pride, and at the same time, share with people
everywhere a desire for peace, freedom and the extension of human rights
throughout the world.
Finally, we believe that the Republican Party is the best vehicle for
translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of
government.
