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.

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

I am a Republican because I believe that hard work should be rewarded financially. I do not feel that people should receive benefits unless they are truly unable to work and contribute to society. I worked hard in college so I could get a profession that allows me to be self sufficient and I abhor the fact that I have to give some of my earnings throughout my entire life to pay for those who did not choose wisely in their own lives. I do not believe I should be responsible for the care of illegal immigrants and their children or Americans who are milking the system. If I worked for it, it should be ALL mine.

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

I am a Democrat because it's the only political party that comes close to matching my views about gun control, racial injustices, and climate change. Also, this party has candidates who are much more diverse in regards to race, gender and religion - and these candidates actually hold powerful positions. As a black female, this is the only political party that have prominent black females holding positions and making changes rather than be someone's puppet. Although no party is perfect and views differ internally, the Democratic party always leaned more towards what's fair than what's exploitation of the American people.

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

I am a republican because I believe that the best way for a country to run is through liminted govermnet. I believe that a free market capitalist system is the best way to motivate people to try their best and work their hardest. I think that democrates spend way too much time trying to think of new programs, trying to think of new ways to get involved in people's lives and that is causing a lot of problems in the country. People will be more motiviated to work harder if they know that is the only way to get there, and that the goverment ins't coming to give whoever it selects to get a special treatment or extra help. From what I see of a lot of big ""demorcrat run"" cities like Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco I think those methods of goverment are failing and causing a lot of unrest among the people. And just becuase I am republican don't think that makes me racist, anti LGBT, or a biggot who thinks less of others based on their makeup. I think we are all people and people work best when motivated and while I don't agree with all of the republican ways I do think overall they are more alligned to bring out the best in people and make everyone the best they can be.

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

I am a Republican because I believe equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. The Republican party values the ideals of working people keeping more of the money that they earn. Everyone should have the right to a government that has principles and morals. Being responsive to people's needs is of most importance. This country is being run over by people who believe they can just come here of their own free will and not contribute to society. We need to secure our borders and we need to do it now to protect our rights as citizens.

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

I am a Republican because I believe that life begins at conception, and that life should be saved no matter the cost. I am a Republican because I believe the military should be supported and we should spend whatever necessary to show America is the greatest country in the world to live in. I am also a Republican because I believe the government spends too much as is, and we should limit our spending for unnecessary budgets, thereby increasing our reserves and treasurer resources. My father was a Republican who served in the Korean War, and I grew up in a family who was proud of their conservative values.

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

I am a democrat because my values are for the everyday working American class. Coming from an immigrant family who was afforded the opportunity to work hard and achieve our educational and financial goals through the help of social programs in which the democratic party support such as welfare, medicare and financial age for college, my parents would have hard a harder time to support myself and my siblings. So I am a proponent of social programs as these which are important to those that are democrats because we believe in helping others that are in need over the interests of elites who control most of the economic resources. I am proud to be in a party that values people and that work hard in fighting for the rights for us to have education, health care and a safe and clean world.

Because I'm straight and I believe in equal opportunities dependent on any race, be it white, black, Hispanic or not.. I also have notion that there should be some sort of equal educational opportunities for all. No one should be negated for being a girl or male in any society whatsoever, I also have a fluid reason of total equality in job assurance everyone ought to be given same equal grounds to apply for what they truly believe in and love, there should be no cause for given any preferential treatment whatsoever to any party, gender or race equity matters

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

I've identified as a democrat since before I could vote. Coming from a working class, immigrant Italian-American family, we all identified strongly with worker protections and uplifting working-class people. Many of my family members were union members and I can remember as a child being told that democrats supported working people, and republicans supported the bosses. As an adult, I became connected more and more with liberal values as I went through University, and embraced the democratic stance on women's rights, affirmative action and the rights of immigrants. These social issues became more important to me as I went to medical school and saw the rapacious effects of conservative policies on the health of the communities I served.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in a fair tax system that does not reward greed. I believe in a economic security for all Americans not just for a small group. I believe in policies that benefit families and supprts them. I also believe that my values should be based on compassion and reason. Most of all I believe in that no one should go hungry and no one should be without a house, there should not be homeless people in the streets and suffering. I believe that we should improve as a country in all areas that are important.
