<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe the strength of our nation lies with our faith and reliance on God our Creator,</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">the individual, and the family; and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">responsibility must be honored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe the United States Constitution is the greatest and most inspired document</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">ever devised by Man, and that the republican form of government which it gives us is the</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">best guarantor of freedom in history.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race,</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">creed, sex, age or disability.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this Nation</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe government must practice fiscal responsibility, and that taxpayers shall allow</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">the government only the money necessary to provide appropriate functions.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">closest to the people. That government is best that governs least.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong, while</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">working to promote peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe that the rights of individuals can only be maintained by exercising personal</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">responsibility for behavior.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">positive and successful principles of government.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
