2010 Statement of
Principles
Promote
Economic Prosperity
We support
lowering the tax burden, exercising spending restraint, and creating and
maintaining a fair, honest and competitive business environment to
promote economic prosperity and once again make Minnesota the economic
engine of the Upper Midwest.
Preserve
Civil Rights
We support
defending the right to life, protecting religious, political and
economic liberties, and respecting personal privacy and property to
preserve civil rights and ensure that government treats all of its
citizens equally under the law.
Educate
our Children
We support the
belief that parents are responsible for their children's education and
that parents, teachers and local school boards can make the best
decisions about our children's education.
Strengthen
our Families and Communities
We recognize
the blessings that God has bestowed on this great Nation. We also
recognize the sanctity of human life and the central role of the
traditional family in our society. We work to defend those values in
order to strengthen our families and communities.
Protect
Public Safety
We believe that
the most fundamental function of government is to keep citizens and our
property secure.
Strengthen
the Rule of Law
We support
limiting the power of attorneys and frivolous lawsuits, increasing the
responsibility of the jury, protecting judicial elections and holding
judges accountable to strengthen the rule of law and prevent abuse of
our legal system.
Enjoy and
Protect our Natural Resources
We believe that
proper stewardship of our natural resources and agricultural lands is
best achieved through sound science and adherence to constitutionally
guaranteed property rights.
Make
Government Smaller and Better
We support
keeping government functions in state, local or private hands, electing
honest and responsive legislative bodies and advocating for fair
election processes to make government smaller and better.
Defend
America at Home and Abroad
We believe that
we can maintain peace by having a strong national defense, securing our
borders and by encouraging all people to seek freedom, democracy and
free enterprise.
