The Republican Oath
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 and incentive
have given this nation an economic system second to
none.
I believe that sound money policy 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 that
persons with disabilities should be
afforded equal rights, equal justice and equal
opportunity as well.
I 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.
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.
