The Republican Party — What they stand for and who to vote for in the 2020 presidential election:

The values of the Republican Party stem from their beliefs in the individual freedoms of every American citizen, regardless of race, faith, nationality or gender. The focus of the GOP is to bolster the power of the U.S. military, take a “hands off” view of businesses and institutions, strengthen our borders, lower taxes, offer Americans the right to choose their path in life and shrink the power of the federal government. The Republican party’s policies are based on morality and widely accepted proper ethical practices. Republicans have a deep love of country and are proud of the achievements the U.S. has accomplished.
