The Virginia Republican Creed

This is the definition of what it means to be a Republican in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As long as you're OK with this, you're a Republican - even if you don't know it yet.

We Believe:

• That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice

• That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society

• That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government

• That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations

• That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense

• That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation
