What We Believe
Guided by “National Conservatism,” a political movement that prioritizes the sovereignty of the United States and the interests of its citizens above all other considerations, the Florida League of Republican Voters® advocates for the values and beliefs important to conservative voters. As constitutional conservatives we believe in the principle of limited government and a system of well-ordered liberties.
• We believe that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life and is essential to maintaining an objective moral order. While we are non-denominational, we are explicitly Judeo-Christian in our worldview.
• We believe in the sanctity of all human life. As a gift from God, we believe that life must be defended from conception until natural death.
• We believe in an “America First” agenda, best understood through the lens of National Conservatism, that prioritizes national sovereignty and the interests of the American people above all other considerations.
• We believe the first duty of government is to provide for our common defense. This requires strengthening our military and developing the advanced weapons systems necessary to prevent war by deterring aggression.
• We believe that true prosperity can only be won by a nation of free people, engaged in free enterprise, working to meet the needs of a free market.
• We believe the United States, as a sovereign nation, has a duty to enforce its immigration laws and maintain strict border security. After years of touting so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” it’s now clear the Democratic Party will never agree to deporting illegal immigrants.
• We believe free and fair elections are essential to our system of self-government. Common sese measures like photo ID, paper ballots and strict limits on mail-in voting are essential to election integrity.
• We believe the weaponization of our criminal justice system is a direct assault on the rule of law and is incompatible with a free society.
• We believe globalization has become a powerful transnational force that threatens America’s economic sovereignty. Poorly conceived trade policies have hollowed out our manufacturing economy and reduced job opportunities for young and old alike.
• We believe America’s rising level of debt is unsustainable. We support a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the Constitution along with significant cuts in spending.
• We believe energy independence is vital to our national security and that artificial barriers to domestic energy production must be removed. Americans should reject any restructuring of our energy economy in the name of “climate policy.”
• We believe government vaccine mandates violate the moral principles of medical consent, bodily autonomy, and self-ownership.
• We believe school choice allows families to select the type of educational environment that best suits the needs of their children while promoting accountability and a safer learning experience.
• We believe Big Tech’s power to control access to information is an existential threat to our freedom. We believe that every lawful means should be used to restore the free flow of information.
• We believe the transgender movement, which rejects the reality of biological sex in favor of so-called “gender identity,” is based on a dangerous ideology that harms children, denies objective reality, and seeks to obliterate any meaningful distinction between male and female
• We believe in the dignity man, the right to rise and the power of the human spirit to triumph over adversity.
