 | Recognition of each
person's ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility is basic to good
government.
|
 | The free enterprise
system and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive are
musts for a strong economy.
|
 | Government exists to
protect the freedom of each individual, not to restrict it.
|
 | Government should get
involved only in those things that the people cannot do, or cannot do so
well for themselves.
|
 | Those who cannot
provide for themselves should be assisted by both government and
society, and every effort should be made to help them become
self-supporting, productive citizens with pride in their independence.
|
 | Equal rights, equal
justice, and equal opportunity belong to all, regardless of race, creed,
color, national origin or sex.
|
 | The preservation of our
nation and the security of our citizens depend on every citizen's
respect for the Constitution, the laws and the courts.
|
 | Government must
maintain sound money and a responsible economy. The rights of life
and liberty are meaningless if citizens are deprived of their property
through excessive taxation, inflation, and government waste.
|
 | While we remain
militarily strong, our efforts toward world peace and friendship will
continue. |
