I am a Republican because I am a very conservative point of view. I do not believe in abortion. I support defunding Planned Parenthood. I strongly support free market capitalism and a strong national defense. I am a Christian with strong Christian values. I am a strong supporter of the National Rifle Association. I believe every American has the right to defend themselves. I also support clean air and water policies. I am not in favor of an increased minimum wage. I am strongly opposed to increased estate tax. I am almost 90 percent opposite of most Democrat. That is 100 percent truth.

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

I am a DEMOCRAT because my beliefs tend to lean to the liberal side of things. I am in favor of Obama Care and I feel that all people are entitled to have health insurance at a reasonable cost. I also strongly oppose building a border wall to keep immigrants from entering our country. I am a strong supporter of social welfare programs for the poor and disabled. I strongly support increases in pay for teachers across our country. I am also a supporter of programs to reduce student loan debt for college graduates. This would strongly improve our economy and make it possible for more young couples to buy or build homes.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in the people. I believe that everyone has their own stories and everyone should be entitled to basic human rights. Why should minorities and people of different sexual orientations, or even cultures, be treated differently than anyone else? We should not see people based on color, race or orientation. We should see them as just that: people. And our nation, these people, should have the same opportunities as everyone else to succeed and live a fulfilled life, no matter what their background is. I feel as though this country is divided and we must reunite with the alliance of the democratic party.

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

I am a Republican because I have always believed in government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Giving a great deal of power to the central government goes against what the Founding Fathers intended. I believe that power should reside first with the individual citizen, then their local community, then their city or town, and finally the state. The federal government should only be in charge of issues that affect the nation as a whole, such as a highway system and foreign relations. I also do not believe that the federal government should tell individual citizens what to do with their own lives. They should not be decided what is harmful to me. I can decide that for myself. I am a Republican because I believe in individual freedom!

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

I am a democrat because I feel strongly that their are many injustices in America today. The party reflects my ideals towards the environment and the groups of people that have been suppressed and used to create wealth for the one percent of the population that does not care about the rest of us who struggle from paycheck to paycheck. I also believe that the rights of the people should be protected from unjust laws and their freedom to make their own choices without being discriminated against. I don't feel that I could rightfully vote any other way and be able to sleep at night.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in many of the principals that Democrats support. First, I believe in environmental protection and making this a priority. I also believe that health care should be affordable and available to all persons. And, I believe in prioritizing a fair wage for everyone. Also, Democrats stand for better gun control. This is definitely something that needs to happen. There are too many incidents in the U.S. because there are not enough things in place to prevent this. Another issue would be reducing the student debt and prioritizing education. So many people have massive debt due to education just so they can make a living. So, these are just some of my top reasons as to why I am a Democrat.

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

Democrats believe in things humans really need. Not about just what they want. We believe in climate change. We know the Earth is dying, and we accept it. We know we need to do something to promote change. The other thing that is super major is Democrats think healthcare is a RIGHT. It needs to be a thing in everyone's life. Otherwise, it just is not humane. We also believe in public education and it should be available to EVERYONE. Not just those with enough money. We believe in the things that are rights, or at least should be rights, to every human.

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

usually their party platform matches my personal beliefs more than the other parties. I believe in working to earn what you want, in the sanctity of human life, in the use of the federal government for security and interstate commerce. I do not think the federal government should be involved in the details of its citizens' lives. Our forefathers fought for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - not to guarantee everyone everything that their heart desires or to be equal to others in every way. I believe the federal government should be fiscally responsible and stick to a balanced budget and that taxes should be cut to provide only those services that need to be performed by the federal government.

I am a Republican because I am a conservative and I believe in traditional values such as hard work, perseverance, determination and respect. I am pro-life,pro-gun ownership, and I am against illegal immigration. I believe that if one works hard enough, without accepting assistance from the government, then anyone can become a success. I am also a Republican because I believe that traditional values lead the way for a better and more successful world. I believe that the freedoms of this country are important and worth fighting for. I am a Republican because I know that the rights that I have as an American citizen were fought for by people like me and they are written in the Constitution. I am proud to be an American and I voted for President Trump. Make America Great Again!!!

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

I am a democrat because I believe in helping out the minorities in our country. The republicans only look out for the rich, white men of the country. I want to vote for someone that is going to help out the black people, latinos, and gay and lesbian people. I am also a big proponent of climate change and how its destroying our planet. I believe that we need to do anything we can or we will destroy the earth for future generations. I am a democrat because I think everyone should be treated fairly and have equal oppurtunities in life.
