共和党十大核心价值观

10 Core Republican Values

1. Lower Taxes

American's cannot and will
not continue to pay higher taxes. Even the current

national, state and local
taxes must be decreased to safeguard the financial
health of our citizens and
country.

2. Smaller Government

The growth of government
must be stopped and reversed by the privatization
or transitioning of
government jobs back to the private sector. According to one
of America's top ten
economist, the only major city in America that continues to
show significant growth is
Washington D.C. (February, 2010). Government
growth must be stopped at
all levels, national, state and local or we will never
be able to lower taxes.

3. Encourage The Growth of Business

Business growth must be
encouraged by all levels of government through the

elimination of all
unnecessary regulations that slow the growth of businesses,

especially small
businesses.

The Seven Core Social
Values are found in the National Republican Platform

http://www.GOP.com/2008Platform/Values.htm

1. Sanctity of Human Life

Faithful to the first
guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert

the inherent dignity and
sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn
child has a fundamental
individual right to life which cannot be infringed.

2. Protecting Traditional Marriage

Because our children’s
future is best preserved within the traditional
understanding of marriage,
we call for a constitutional amendment that fully
protects marriage as a
union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot
make other arrangements
equivalent to it.

3. Support the Right to Keep & Bear Arms

We uphold the right of
individual Americans to own and bear firearms, a right
which predated the Constitution
and was solemnly confirmed by the Second
Amendment.

4. Safeguarding Religious Liberties

Our Constitution guarantees
the free exercise of religion. We affirm every

citizen’s right to apply
religious values to public policy and the right of

faith-based organizations
to participate fully in public programs without

renouncing their beliefs,
removing religious objects or symbols, or becoming

subject to
government-imposed hiring practices. Forcing religious groups to

abandon their beliefs as
applied to their hiring practices is religious

discrimination. We support
the First Amendment right of freedom of

association of the Boy
Scouts of America and other service organizations
whose values are under
assault, and we call upon the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts to reverse
its policy of blacklisting religious groups which
decline to arrange
adoptions by same-sex couples. Respectful of our nation’s
diversity in faith, we urge
reasonable accommodation of religious beliefs in the
private workplace.

5. Ensuring Equal Treatment For All People

We consider discrimination
based on sex, race, age, religion, creed, disability,
or national origin to be
immoral, and we will strongly enforce anti-discrimination
statutes based exclusively
on these seven categories. We ask all to join us in
rejecting the forces of
hatred and bigotry and in denouncing all who practice or
promote racism,
anti-Semitism, ethnic prejudice, or religious intolerance.
Precisely because we oppose
discrimination, we reject preferences, quotas,
and set-asides, whether in
education or in corporate boardrooms. The
government should not make
contracts on this basis, and neither should
corporations.

6. Freedom of Speech & of the Press

We support freedom of
speech and freedom of the press and oppose attempts

to violate or weaken those
rights, such as reinstatement of the so-called

Fairness Doctrine.

7. Protecting Our National Symbols
The symbol of our unity, to
which we all pledge allegiance, is the flag. By
whatever legislative method
is most feasible, Old Glory should be given legal
protection against
desecration. We condemn decisions by activist judges to
deny children the opportunity to say the Pledge of Allegiance in
public school.
