Beaufort County Republican
Party
I Am A Republican Because…
I 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.
I believe that good government is based on
the individual and that each person's ability, dignity, freedom and
responsibility must be honored and recognized.
I believe that free enterprise and the
encouragement of individual initiative have given this nation an economic system
second to none.
I believe that sound money management should
be our goal.
I believe in equal rights, equal justice and
equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex or national
origin.
I believe we must retain those principles of
the past worth retaining, yet always be receptive to new ideas with an outlook
broad enough to accommodate thoughtful change and varying points of view.
I believe that 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 and freedom and the extension of
human rights throughout the world.
Finally, I believe that the Republican Party
is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful
principles of government.
