Email: What I Believe

Statement

I believe America is an exceptional nation, a beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the world.

I believe the men and women who have served or are serving in our Armed Forces have preserved freedom for the rest of us and we must always ensure they and their families are cared for. We will always be indebted to them for their devotion and sacrifice on behalf of our nation.

I believe the American dream is available to every person who is willing to work for it.

I believe that only in America could a boy born to a modest family in the Panhandle, begin working the land at nine years old, raise a herd to put himself through Texas A&M University, and through an excellent public education be able to run successful American businesses.

Fundamentally, I believe in limited government, protecting our social values, and adherence to the Constitution.

I believe we are a Christian nation and that we should not shy away from our foundational beliefs in God.

I believe in peace through strength, that our nation has an unmatched history of spreading freedom and supporting democratic government around the world.

I believe energy security is a national security issue and that we must increase American energy while over time transitioning to renewable energy resources when they are technologically ready.

I believe individuals spend their own money better than the government.

I believe low taxes and fair regulation of business is always best to grow the private sector economy.

I believe the best social program ever created is a private sector job -- which provides a person with basic needs, ends reliance on government assistance, and contributes to growing our nation.

I believe record deficits and overwhelming national debt are a significant threat to our economy.

I believe Congress should pass a budget, every year, just as our families and businesses do. If Congress is unable, or unwilling, to pass budgets that are balanced, they should have their pay cut for not doing the job they were elected to do.

I believe that education is best handled at the local level, which is most accountable and closest to the people.

I believe in term limits because we must return to the Founding Fathers' notion of citizens leaving their homes to serve the public for a short time, then returning to live under the laws they wrote.

I believe every life is precious and has a soul that must be protected under the law.

I believe marriage is between one man and one woman.

I believe the Second Amendment is a fundamental right guaranteed to all Americans that must be protected.

I am a Christian, an American, a conservative and a Republican -- in that order.

I believe we face greater challenges as a nation today than at any time in recent history and we must act now to stop the damage that has been inflicted on our nation. If we start now and work together, we can Restore America's Promise, Prosperity, and Security for our Children and Grandchildren.

If you believe as I do, will you join our team?

I hope you will consider making a generous $25, $50, $100, $250, or $1,000 investment before Thursday night's deadline so I may fight for these beliefs in Congress.

With Great Respect,

Bill Flores
