Being a Democrat is very important to me because it reflects my innermost beliefs and is truly the way to move forward for a better future. Unlike Republicans, Democrats take a stance that is more humanistic, progressive, and takes the position that is most reflective of the people, rather than the ones who are up their ""on top."" Our country is in disarray with this feud that is taking place between Democrats and Republicans, but the former is most definitely the better pathway for us to take for us to move forward as a paragon of democracy for the betterment of our country. We must be the best example possible for the rest of world to emulate if we can.

I am a Democrat because I believe their efforts and policies line up best with my personal political views. Democrats typically favor government run programs and services for Education and Health Care and I agree that the free pursuit of health and knowledge is a right all humans should enjoy. I am in disagreement with many of the Republican points of view, and our system regrettably is a two party system. Even with the rise of fringe parties, I find myself aligning most with the Democratic party because I feel they care. I honestly believe a good portion of the work done by Democrats is in the best interest of all people.

I am a Democrat because, while I find the two-party system flawed overall, the Democratic party better reflects my values and and, I believe, the principals on which our country was founded. The Republican party seems more and more a group whose main concern is getting all they can in terms of money and privilege, and systematically preventing those they consider undeserving (women, people of color, immigrants, those who practice different religions, and those born less-well-off) from having the same opportunities to succeed. I believe in the ideals of tax-supported services such as infrastructure, education, parks, art, and libraries, rather than considering these ""luxuries"" that only a small percentage can afford. I am a Democrat because I believe in a government where all citizens' opinions count, not only the wealthy or those already in a position of power, I don't believe that the majority of Republicans believe in this, and I believe the division between the two groups is growing wider each day./

I am a Republican because I believe in old-fashioned family values and always being among the righteous. When we follow the liberal way, it sets us on a dangerous path. First, it starts with gun control. Then, it's the right to raise my children the way I see fit. What's to stop them from coming up with more cockamamie methods of control and harming my freedom? The Republican Party backs my views as an American. They stand for what is right, just and moral. I back them because they are willing to fight for me, my values and my right to be me.

I am a Republican because I was taught as a kid they are the better party to be apart of. Republicans are very serious about making things happen for the right reasons. We like to see change & better possibilities for creating a good change around the world. Handling & providing good care for the people around the world better housing, healthcare, education, & etc. Being apart of the Republican Party has made me confident in being one different situations are getting handled to make the world better. The world is in good hands & also they can fix the flint in water across the country who are suffering, also coal ash that needs to be removed, & oil spillage in water to protect the environment.

I am proud to be a Republican because the party reflects my values and love of my country. As a small business owner I struggle with the regulations of doing business and the health of the economy needs to be good for my work to survive and thrive. The Republican Party works to remove unnecessary regulations and pushes their plan to keep the business environment strong. Also I am an avid white tail deer hunter and the Republicans along with the support of the NRA will keep my rights to continue enjoying hunting a reality. My father, who was a straight Republican ticket voter always felt like he still make a choice for a candidate from another party, it just never happened. I feel free to vote for the best man for the job but nearly always the best man is a Republican.

I am a democrat because I believe in all Americans having rights. I believe that women have the right to choice about their bodies. I also believe in fair wages for both sexes and for all races, plus healthcare for all. There should be a much easier way for immigrants to seek asylum here and NOT be caged up like animals, as is happening now! Democrats just seem more humane. I think that repubs seem to be all about money and status. I cannot agree with republican ideas and beliefs because they seem to only reflect the wealthy, privileged and white.

Compassionate conservatism works in the best interests for those struggling in America. The more we become dependent on the federal government, the more we frustrate our individual liberties. Instead of the Democrat-style of compassion shown through government handouts we must create an environment that inspires communities and individuals to take advantage of opportunities to improve their condition. Individuals have the power to change, and government can help them lead better lives.Republicans are also best suited to maintain the balance of power between the three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Conservative Presidents and Governors nominate, and conservative Senators confirm, good, honest judges who interpret the laws and who do not act like super-legislators from the bench.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in the ideals of the Republican party. I believe that government should be as small as possible in order to perform the essentials of an advanced society. I believe that businesses, whether small or large, form the backbone of a successful society and they should be encouraged to thrive. I believe that individuals should be able to pursue gainful employment to create better lives for themselves without the support or intrusion of government, unless there is a true need for that support. I believe that many ideas put forward as ""progressive"" are unnecessary and actually cause harm to our society.
