What makes us different from Democrats or other parties?  We believe:

• Individual ability, dignity, freedom & responsibility are basic to good government.
• Free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative and incentive produce a strong economy.
• Equal rights, justice and opportunity belong to all.
• The preservation of our nation and security of our citizens depend on every citizen’s respect for the Constitution, the law and the courts.
• Government exists to protect the freedom of the individual, not restrict it.
• Government should only get involved in the things which people can’t do well themselves.
• Both government and society should assist people who can’t provide for themselves.  It should help them become self-supporting, productive citizens who pride independence.
• No man has the right to live off the fruits of another man’s labor.
• Government must maintain sound money and a responsible economy.  The rights of life and liberty are meaningless if citizens are deprived through excessive taxation, inflation and government waste.
• World peace and friendship will continue through strength.
