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.

I BELIEVE in the principles held by MOST Republicans, such as Responsibility, Honesty, Integrity, and Wholesomeness creates a better platform for personal success, influencing future generations, and creating a better society for ALL.

I BELIEVE Openness in government and in our political enterprise creates a better environment that GROWS trust, and within the party structure, a more cohesive force for advancement of Republican principles.

I BELIEVE in personal integrity that relies on rules of common sense and application.
