I am Republican because I am pro-life. I cannot stand to see the idea of life thrown away. I also believe we are in desperate need of a wall at our southern border. The amount of illegal immigrants coming into our country is at an all-time high. We need strong leadership right now. I believe that Donald Trump is maintaining his promises on the campaign trail and I am elated about his choices for the supreme court. I think Donald Trump is setting our country up for success. It seems that America has lost sight of its identity and we are finally back on the right track. More jobs than ever are being created and our stock market is doing extremely well. I believe our military needs great funding and support without them we could not truly be a free nation. I think the Republican party is as strong as ever.

I am a democrat because I am accepting of people's beliefs and how they live their lives.

I also believe people should have healthcare no matter what their financial status is. I am a democrat because I love people regardless of who they are and what their background is, and I try not to judge people because of who they are and how they choose to live their lives.

I am a democrat because my family has held this belief , and I am simply carrying on tradition and handing this down to my children as they grow older. I am African american and most of the majority in my culture support this political system than being with the republican party. I believe that republicans do not have sympathy for the working class that are lower and not wealthy according to their status.Democrats want to ensure that everyone has an advantage of receiving proper and adequate healthcare and benefits that do not send you into bankruptcy and allow you still provide for your family.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I feel it is important to actively support a major political party. In the United States, almost all elections are won by either a Republican or a Democrat. Therefore it makes no sense to register with any other political party. Indeed, doing so could deny me the right to vote in primary elections. Some states do have an open primary system, but I live in Florida, and here if you are not registered with one of the major political parties you wouldn't be able to vote until the general election. For this reason, I am a Democrat.

I am a Republican for many reasons. The Republican party assures protection to life and property, the public credit, and the payment of the debts of the government, State, county, or municipality, so far as it can control. The Democratic party does no promise this; if it does, it has broken its promises to the extent of hundreds of millions, as many Northern Democrats can testify to their sorrow. I am a Republican, as between the existing parties, because it fosters the production of the field and farm, and of many factories, and it encourages the general education of the poor as well as the rich.

I am a republican because I honestly hate libs. They are so pathetic. All everyone cares about is fake concepts like feminism. The biased media exclusively tells lies. And I really cannot even begin to comprehend why people seem to think that illegals are entitled to our services here in the United States. The social justice warriors caused all of this. I cannot wait until Trump wins in 2020 so I can see all of the libs cry again for four more years! It is going to be hilarious! Obama was the worst president of all time. Prove me wrong.

I am proud to be a republican because it embodies the roots of the US and the idea that each person is responsible for shaping his or her life. As someone who is not natively from this country, I had to work not only to fit in with American culture but to learn English and launch my career. Conservative values helped shape my values and my family's values to keep resources between individuals and more localized government rather than depending on a faceless government bureaucracy that does not always have your interest in mind. Even though Republicans get a bad name in the media, I still identify as Republican because of my conservative upbringing and outlook.

I am a Republican because I care about this country. I don't want to see my children being saddled with debt for the rest of their lives. I don't want the government stealing what I earn and giving it away to people who break into this country against the law. I don't want the government throwing money away on useless projects that just fill the pockets of sleazy contractors. I believe in keeping America safe. I am a Republican because I care about free speech, even if it hurts your feelings. And honestly, because it's funny to watch people get mad when you don't follow all the rules they make up. I am a Republican because I want to get rid of creeps like the Clintons who use their power to hurt children. I am a Republican because I value my rights and the Constitution.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I care about people more than I care about money. Democrats care about all people, not just those who look like them. We look out for those who have been less fortunate or who do not have equal rights. We don't mind increased taxes to help those who need help. We believe in a women's right to decide what happens with her body. We believe in equal rights, including the right to marry and serve in the military, for people of all sexual orientations. Like other Democrats, I believe we need to protect the environment for now and for future generations.
