We, the 2018 Republican Party of Texas, believe in this platform and expect our elected leaders to uphold these truths through acknowledgment and action. We believe in:
1.  “The laws of nature and nature’s God,” and we support the strict adherence to the original language and intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions of the United States and of Texas.
2.  The sanctity of innocent human life, created in the image of God, which should be protected from    fertilization to natural death.
3.  Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
4.  Limiting government power to those items enumerated in the United States and Texas Constitutions.
5.  Personal accountability and responsibility.
6.  Self-sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage of a natural man and a natural   woman.
7.  Having an educated population, with parents having the freedom of choice for the education of     their children.
8.  The inalienable right of all people to defend themselves and their property.
9.   A free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies.
10. Honoring all of those that serve and protect our freedom.
