We value fundamental Republican Principles - Government should be fiscally responsible, limited and non-intrusive.
We value the American family - The family is the appropriate institution to teach the values of our society, the state's authority to regulate these values should be limited.
We value personal responsibility - Responsible citizenship and personal responsibility encourages the social and moral behaviors that fortify a strong society.
We value life and seek to protect it - We should not attempt to legislate a definition of life.
We value religion - Religion is a matter of personal conscience and we should continue the constitutional separation of church and state.
We value ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity in our society - Maintaining unity within such diversity is a necessary and unique characteristic of America.
We value equal access for all to economic opportunity and due process of law - These perpetuate the United States as a land of opportunity and freedom.
We value equal rights for all citizens - Our full potential cannot be realized until these are a reality; one should be judged only by one's own ability and accomplishments.
We value public education - Public-funded public education is a fundamental obligation of our society; it provides the "civilizing" glue that bonds together the large, diverse segments of our society and the skills necessary to realize its opportunities.
We value quality of life - Protection of our environment, our recreational opportunities, and our safety are essential to a healthy nation.
We value participation in the political process - Involvement of an informed citizenry in consensus building is essential if we are to have a truly representative government.
We value the free enterprise system - Constrained government involvement in our economic system will maximize both the common good and individual opportunity.
