What Is A Republican?

A Republican is moral, ethical and of high integrity.
A Republican believes in the American dream and opportunity for all through individual effort.
A Republican believes in American exceptualism.
A Republican believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
A Republican believes in the American family.
A Republican believes in the right to bear arms.
A Republican believes in the right to life.
A Republican believes in a strong military.
A Republican appreciates, respects and feels an obligation to our veterans.
A Republican believes in the right to work.
Support for these tenets is critical. I point to two recent events:
National
- The death of Justice Scalia and naming of a new Supreme Court Justice.
Local
- Recent legislation for bridge and highway Tolls highlights the importance of a valid two party system and the need to eliminate the lopsided Democratic advantage in the Rhode Island legislature.
