We Believe… in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
We Believe… free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
We Believe… government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of their own money they earn.
We Believe… the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.
We Believe… the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
We Believe… Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
We Believe… Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
We Believe… the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.
Ronald Reagan once said that, “America is too great for small dreams.” Throughout this great nation, people from all walks of life have dreamed of freedom, opportunity, and the chance to leave this world a better place for the next generation. The North Carolina Republican Party unequivocally defends that dream.
We are the party of individuals and the institutions they create together—families, schools, congregations, neighborhoods—to advance their ideals and realize their dreams. We are the party that encourages equality for all citizens and embraces the inherent value of every single human being God creates—born and unborn. We are the party that defends the religious beliefs and rights of conscience of all Americans and safeguards
religious institutions against government control. We reaffirm the Constitution’s fundamental principles: limited government, separation of powers, individual liberty, and the rule of law. As a Party, we denounce bigotry, racism, sexism, anti-semitism, ethnic prejudice, and religious intolerance. We recognize God–not government–as the Author of these principles. We are the party that stands strong against tyranny and will fight at home and abroad to protect the lives and fundamental liberties of all people. We are the party of agrowing economy that gives everyone—regardless of background--a chance in life, an opportunity to learn, work and realize the prosperity that is made possible by the freedom we hold dear.
The Republican Party is committed to the values and ideals that are the true greatness of America, and we gladly join together to fight for justice, secure the blessings of liberty, and provide true opportunity and hope for generations to come.
