WHERE WE STAND AS REPUBLICANS:

We believe the strength of our State and County lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. We believe that the traditional family structure is the best means available for instilling the virtues of honesty, self-discipline, and mutual respect that are the foundation of a free society. We believe that honest government begins with honest elections. We are committed to preserving the integrity of the election process. 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 individual initiative are the best ways to maintain economic opportunity, growth, and prosperity in Alabama. We believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and must limit taxes to levels necessary to carry out constitutionally granted duties of government. We believe that the courts should bring criminals to justice and efficiently resolve dispute between citizens, not to redistribute wealth through massive, erratic awards of punitive damages, or legislate social change according to the courts' dictates. 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 we should make a solemn commitment in this State and County that every child will be educated and that no child will be left behind. Everyone must have a first-rate education because there are no second-rate children, no second-rate dreams. Finally, we believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.
