Q11 Now I’d like to read you what the Republican Party stands for today and ask you if hearing this makes you more or less likely to support Republican candidates for office, or if it doesn’t make a difference. Republicans believe in limited government and lower taxes as the best way to secure economic growth and individual freedom. Only a smaller, less intrusive government can ensure that your liberties and families are protected.

Q13 Now I’d like to read you what the Republican Party stands for today regarding money in politics and ask you if hearing this makes you more or less likely to support Republican candidates for office, or if it doesn’t make a difference. Republicans believe that our constitution guarantees free speech for everyone, no matter how rich or poor you are, and the Supreme Court agrees. We should not limit the speech of any American; what we need is less regulation in our elections and less government in our lives - and we do that by ensuring that every voice is heard.
