Ethics is a branch of philosophy dealing with concepts of good versus bad conduct.


It deals with one’s moral duty and obligations.  Recent events have emphasized the importance of ethical behavior among our leaders.  It is paramount that leaders of the Republican Party recognize ethical standards not just for politicians but for leaders of the Republican Party from the grassroots to national level.


Our Party should commit to educating party leaders and those who work for the Party on basic ethical precepts of honesty, integrity and avoidance of conflicts of interest.  We should also promote the individual as a moral advocate for ethical behavior at every level of the Republican Party of Florida.


As a Republican,

I Believe… The proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot be done as well, by individuals, and that the most effective government is government closest to the people.

I Believe… Good government is based upon the individual and that each person’s ability, dignity, freedom, and responsibility must be honored and recognized.

I Believe… The free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive have given this nation an economic system second to none.

I Believe… Sound money management should be our goal.

I Believe… In equal right, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex or national origin.

I Believe… We must retain those principles of the past worth retaining, yet always be receptive to new ideas with an outlook broad enough to accommodate thoughtful change and varying points of view.

I Believe… That Americans value and should preserve their feeling of national strength and pride, and at the same time share with people everywhere a desire for peace and freedom and the extension of human rights throughout the world.

I Believe… The Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.
