Because like the turtle beat the rabbit to the finish line despite all the difficulties it had to face, we, the Republican Party, will also defeat all obstacles to reach our goal; to give the American public all they need to succeed. We, the members of the GOP, Grand Old Party, founded in 1854 under the ideals of classical liberalism but finding our way through years of experience and acquisition of knowledge to a more conservative standpoint, invite you all to vote for us. Because we will get things done. Our Party is a great old one, coming from the very roots of our history, from members like Abraham Lincoln, one of the first Republican presidents in the United States, to Ronald Reagan, our Party has greatly influenced and changed the way that America lives and grows.

Our Party believes in supporting our great traditions, customs and principles, those which our great nation was founded on by our great forefathers. We support the ideals of family, life from beginning to end, the Christian way of life and we also believe in the free markets, lower taxes for the people to diminish poverty and favor the less favored, free enterprise and also the American way of life, the rights of people to do as they see fit in their benefit. We believe in strong defense of our nation´s land and interests and we therefore strive to protect each and every American within and without our borders, to ensure that they have a happy and fruitful life.

We are also a very successful Party as well. Up until this day, the beginnings of 2019, the GOP Party has had 19 U.S Presidents elected and we have won 24 out of 40 presidential elections. One of the highest rates of success of any party in the country. Also, we have a current president on the highest office in the country and we control, after the midterm election of 2018, most of the Senate and House of Representatives, turning us into what is known as a trifecta. Finally, and as a matter of fact, 5 out of the 9 possible elected magistrates to the Supreme Court have been appointed by Republican Presidents.

Given all these great details about the GOP Party, the party of the people, we invite you all to consider voting for us in the upcoming elections.
