I believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all under the law.

I believe that free enterprise and individual initiative should be encouraged because it has brought this nation exceptional economic growth, prosperity and freedom.

I believe that military strength depends on a sound economy.

I believe government and its citizens must practice fiscal and monetary responsibility.

I believe government is most responsive, effective and responsible when it is closest to the people and therefore most subject to their consent.

I believe that being a good neighbor through compassionate action at the personal, family, faith, and community level, remains the cornerstone of our nation’s social foundation.

I believe that to the extent the Republican Party practices these conservative principles it will be the choice of the American people.
