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 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.

Soy Republicano Porque...

YO CREO que la fortaleza de nuestra nación yace en el individuo y que la dignidad, libertad, habilidad y responsabilidad de cada persona debe ser honrada.

YO CREO en la igualdad de derechos, en la justicia equitativa y en la igualdad de oportunidad sin prejuicios de raza, credo, sexo, edad, o capacidad físca.

YO CREO que el sistema de libre comercio y el fomentar la iniciative individual han generado en nuestra nación oportunidades, crecimiento económico y prosperidad.

YO CREO que el gobierno debe practicar la responsabilidad fiscal y permitir que el pueblo conserve la mayor parte del dinero que gana.

YO CREO que la función del gobierno es proveer al pueblo solamente los servicios básicos que no son ofrecidos por los individuos o por las organizaciones privadas. YO CREO que el mejor gobierno es el que menos gobierna.

YO CREO que el gobierno más eficaz, responsable y sensato es el que está más cerca de sus ciudadanos.

YO CREO que debemos mantener los principios que nos han hecho una nación fuerte, al mismo tiempo que desarrollamos nuevas e innovadoras ideas que nos permitan enfrentar los retos del futuro.

YO CREO que debemos valorar y mantner nuestra fortaleza y orgullo nacional, al mismo tiempo que luchamos por la paz, la libertad y los derechos humanos a través del mundo.

FINALMENTE creo que el Partido Republicano es el mejor vehículo para transformar estos ideales en los principios positivos por los cuales se guían los gobiernos exitosos.
