I believe in the promise of America and the goodness of the American people.
I believe that the roots of our society are found in strong families, personal
faith, solid communities, and love of country.
I believe our nation needs to protect the dignity of every individual and
guarantee the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that our flag, the “Stars and Stripes”, is a true and unique symbol
of the pride and patriotism Americans share in their beloved nation.
I believe that America is still the “shining city on a hill”, and represents the
dreams and aspirations of current and future generations of American
citizens.I believe that our government is best when it is closest to the people
that it serves.
I believe that government and governmental programs should be efficient,
and provide full accountability for the practices and policies it’s leaders
propose and implement.
I believe in the spirit of free enterprise, in which capitalism is the best means
to keep our economy running strong, both now and in the future. I believe that while government can and should be the provider of some
essential services, it should function with limited taxation, financial efficiency
and the adoption of innovations to allow taxpayers to get the most for their
hard-earned tax dollars. I believe in a limited government that practices fiscal responsibility and works
to lower taxes so individuals can keep more of their hard earned money. I believe that America’s military is the most powerful military force in the world,
and that our brave men and women who serve our nation deserve the respect
and admiration a grateful nation can only bestow. I believe that government's first and foremost responsiblity is the providing of
safety and security to our citizens. I believe a strong national defense to ensure that Americans remain safe,
terrorists are defeated, and democracy flourishes throughout the world. I believe that the rights of law-abiding citizens should outweigh the rights of
criminals and that the enforcement of existing laws, combined with the addition
of innovative, common-sense policies, is the best means of furthering a civil
society.
I believe that our natural environment is a precious resource for all humankind,
and that citizens and government should work together to implement
common-sense policies that allow for both environmental protection and
economic growth.
I believe that in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, all persons are created equal, and
that I oppose discrimination in any form, against any person, and for any reason.
I believe in an inclusive political party, a party with a “big tent” approach where I
am encouraged to share my beliefs and to disagree with those who share
opposing viewpoints.
I believe that Republican Party leaders and officials have brought needed
change to Wisconsin and I agree that supporting their efforts is the best way to
ensure a brighter future for many years to come.
I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for converting these ideals into
positive and successful principles of government. |
