I am a Republican because I am a Christian and Pro Life. I believe in less government and lower taxes. I believe in the wall as we need to care for our vets and homeless first. I believe in taxing corporations less due to the economy and jobs. I believe in less government oversight, which will help with jobs and business expansion. We need oil drilling to become less reliant on foreign countries. I believe in the second amendment and our right to bear arms. This should not be infringed upon. Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations.

I am democrat because I believe all of the things they believe in. The important topics they support, I support too. Most of my family are Democrats too so I think that helps being one as well and just keeping in the family. I am a democrat because being a republican is everything I don't believe in and I really can't stand their opinion. I am a democrat because I am very open minded and I love to hear about other people opinions. I am a democrat because it matches with my goals and I feel like it is the moral decision.

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

I believe in a limited government. The more government stays out of the daily lives of its citizens, the better off the country will be. Citizens should be governed by their local government first, then by state government and last by the federal government. I also believe in citizens paying the bare minimum in taxes. I believe in a strong national defense. I don't think the government should be involved in welfare programs or entitlement schemes. Citizens should look after their own well being. Those in need should be taken care of only on a limited basis. Vote for Donald Trump in 2020!!!!

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

I believe the strength of our great nation comes from people as individuals. I believe in working hard to get to where you want in life. The american dream has always been work hard and you will thrive. I believe people should help each other, but not intervine in someone else's life. I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.

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

I am a Republican because I identify with more traditional standards and beliefs. I do not feel that people should be as financially dependent on our federal government as many democrats do. The costs that our government incurs is putting a huge strain on our country. Of course as Americans, I do feel that there should be some assistance to help others out, however I believe this is better served through our local communities to relieve the strain on our federal government. Furthermore, I do not believe that our forefathers intended for religion to be completely wiped out from government when they drew out our constitution. This has been taken to a level that is entirely out of context. Finally, I am repulocan because I strongly oppose the abortion of our unborn babies. We were meant to protect the lives of the unborn regardless of a woman's right to choose.

I am a Democrat because I believe in free college tuition. I believe in free enterprise. I believe in a fair tax system that benefits the rich, and poor. I am a democrat because I believe we live in a free economic market for small businesses and markets. The rich aren't always to blame for their riches, the poor aren't always to blame for living in poverty. Donating to the rich is not going to create jobs around the world. I believe in limited government, and I embrace equality, and diversity. I believe in all of these, I am a democrat.

I am a democrat because I believe in equality for all no matter your racial or economic background. In the US today there is so much inequality between groups of people and this is something I feel we should work together towards overcoming. Everyone deserves an equal chance at succeeding and I believe the Democratic Party is the Party that will take us there. Democratic Politicians work tirelessly to ensure the playing field is equal and everyone has a chance to succeed and follow the American Dream. This is why I identify strongly with the Democratic Party and consider myself to be a Democrat.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in the goals they represent. I think people should be allowed to enter our country without barriers so they can take part in the American dream. I also believe in womens right to have an abortion, whether her life is in danger or not it is a woman's choice! The fight over gun control is also a big deal for us Democrats! It should be way more difficult for anybody to get a firearm period! I also agree with universal health care as a general human right and should be freely accessible to everyone!

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 some people have a hard life and aren't able to move up in the world and improve their lives, and others are born with or have more and they become very successful. I believe if you have more or have been given more you should give more to others so they they can also be successful. It seems fair to give to help others so everyone can be equal. Equality is something that is a right given to everyone and to make everything fair, people who make or earn more should pay more in taxes to help those who don't make as much or aren't as successful as they are. Being a Democrat lets me bring this about just to give others a sense of justice in a system that seems to be against them and holds them back.
