What do we stand for?
We stand on the beliefs that less government, lower taxes, and more direct participation
by the people are the ideals of democracy — on the local, state and national levels.
These transcending principles are the reasons why the Republican Party is made up of individuals
from different ethnic and social backgrounds. They are also the reasons why the Republican Party
is known as the “big tent” party — a party with room for everyone and a party where everyone
has the ability to contribute and take part in the decisions that shape our party, our towns
, our state and our nation.
Building on these beliefs, the Parma Republicans believe that:
- It is important to always respect our fellow citizen’s ability, dignity and freedom.
- Individual initiative and responsibility are the keys to accomplishment. Local government is closest to the people.
- Government exists to protect every individual’s freedom, not restrict it.
- Those who are unable to provide for themselves deserve help to attain self-reliance and independence.
- Equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity are the right of every citizen.
- Excessive taxation and wasteful government spending stifle individual growth and accomplishment.
- Respect for the Constitution, our laws and our democratic institutions will preserve our rights and our way of life.
