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.

I am a democrat because I am accepting of people's beliefs and how they live their lives. I do not think people should be punished just because how they choose to live is different from how I choose to live or what I believe in and agree with. 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 Republican because I am anti abortion, I am for capitalism, and I don't want our country to become Socialist. I think that the Democrats want to give too much away to illegals and that is dangerous for our country. I can't stand that the Democrats won't even fight to keep our borders safe and they act like that anybody can come into our country without reprecussions. I am a proud American and a proud Republican and believe President Trump is doing a great job for our country and our economy. He will definitely win the next election.

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

I am a DEMOCRAT because the overall policies of the party generally reflect my political opinions. For example, I believe that climate change is real and government should do something about it and to protect the environment. Also, I believe in standing up for the human rights and civil rights of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. I believe that health care is a right for everyone and not a privilege for those few who can afford it. The Democratic Party, although imperfect, stands up for these values and works to improve the lives of all people.

I am a Democrat because I believe that in our country, the poor should have the same opportunity for success as the rich. I believe in universal healthcare, the decriminalization of marijuana, and that women should have the right to choose. I am a Democrat because I believe that the other party is only out to make sure that the rich get richer. I am a Democrat because I wish to support the party who is advocating for paid parental leave and assistance with childcare. I would never support the party who wants to slash vital support for those who struggle to make ends meet.

I am a Republican because I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.i believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all. It is my belief that enterprise and encouraging individual initiative has brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity. I am a republican because I believe that 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.

I am a Republican because I most identify with conservative economic and social policies. This is especially true today with the extreme ideologies being pushed by the current Socialist Democrats today. For example, look at the current Democrat presidential candidates. Every one of them seems to be trying to outdo the other in giving away more ""free stuff"" in terms of government programs without a clue how to pay for any of them realistically except to use the standard buzz words of ""tax the rich""! They are also support late-term abortion. I have always been pretty open-minded and thought I could never tell another woman what was right for her, but this extreme plot to murder children has me moving to the extreme to protect these babies from the Far-left who want the right to kill any baby at any time for any reason. Immigration is another crazy issue that the Left has simply pushed too far on. I am firmly conservative on this because supporting millions of Illegals is not good for our economy, our children's education, our healthcare system, results in increased crime and taxes our criminal justice system. Under the Obama Administration, every Democrat supported border walls and deporting Illegals. Not it is simply an anti-Trump agenda that they are supporting. This will bite them come the 2020 election. I proudly support President Trump and his success in reducing unemployment to record levels, growing our economy, tax cuts that saved my middle-class family over $2,000, improving our trade positions through effective negotiating rather than a passive do-nothing approach of past administrations (Democrat and Republican). Actions speak louder than words and Trump's success says it all! Voting Republican and Proud of it!

I am a Democrat because I care about others more than I care about myself. I care about equal rights, gun control, and healthcare for all. I believe everyone should be treated with respect no matter their race, gender, sexuality, or culture. I care about reducing income inequality. It infuriates that some people have so much while others have so little. I wish I could do more to help others who are suffering. But, my resources are limited. So I vote democratically in hopes that it will lead to change. I am a Democrat because I want positive change for everyone in our country, not just those with power.

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

I believe in the freedoms this country was founded on. We are a unique country and as such, we should maintain the vision of the founding fathers. We should secure the borders that many brave soldiers died to protect in the past. I support immigration but am firmly against illegal immigration. As a Republican, I believe that illegal immigration can bring in individuals that aren't vetted and thus, pose a threat to the public. As Americans, we should not have to copy the other governments of the world because our country is unique. That's why socialism would never work here, no matter how hard others may try to force it upon us. Republicans get a bad rap but we are merely trying to preserve the values that has made America the superpower it is today.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in smaller governments. The government should not control our basic rights set up in the Constitution, like me being able to own a gun. I believe that businesses are a fundamental part of America and Republicans want to give everyone a chance to be successful running a private business or corporation. The government should not be able to decide that healthcare cannot work with private insurance companies, and that businesses should only have to do trading within America. People know what is best for themselves, and Republicans believe that fully. I do not think Democrats have the best interest for our country and Americans being successful, which is why I always vote Republican.
