Preamble
Mississippians - from the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast to the fertile lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, from the vast woodlands of the Pinebelt to the gentle hills. <more>

Education
The American experience has shown repeatedly the ability of the individual to achieve greatly when allowed to do so and not held back by the government. <more>

Jobs
The people of Mississippi have seen a remarkable thing happen in the past decade. As regulations were brought under control and the state capital gains and marriage penalty taxes were eliminated <more>

Welfare
When the current welfare program was conceived, it was intended to provide temporary assistance to people in times of need. Unfortunately, the program has developed into one that perpetuates poverty and dependence - stifling hope, discouraging initiative and undermining the family. <more>

Government
IIn Mississippi, we have long been plagued by an imbalance of power in state government. Our state's executive branch is far too weak in authority for the effective, efficient management of the affairs of the government. <more>

Taxes
Mississippi Republicans favor the conducting of a comprehensive review of our state's tax code. The code has turned into a crazy-quilt collection of special exemptions, favorite benefits and strange practices. <more>

Human Life
We believe the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life that cannot be infringed. We therefore reaffirm our support for a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children. <more>

Safety
One of the primary functions of state and local government is the safety of citizens and the maintenance of law and order. Violent crime is one of the gravest threats to our families and a burden on our taxpayers. <more>

Environment
Mississippi is blessed with irreplaceable natural resources. Our environmental quality and the quantity of our natural resources are valuable assets for promoting tourism, attracting new industries, and maintaining the quality of life for our citizens. <more>
