Why VOTE Republican for Washington’s Governor?

"Martin Lee Wheeler” 

Who are the Republicans?

In a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854, fifty-four American citizens who wanted to end slavery formed a new political party. They were inside the warmth of a cabin 

in the dead of winter. They named their new organization "the Republican Party.” Six years later, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican President of the United States.       

The Republican party began as a collection of many talented and different groups joining together to end slavery. It also supported giving women the right to vote, but had much diversity of opinion as well. Many people with many different opinions about many different things all came together to form the Republican Party at the beginning and this is still true today. The Republicans believe, as I, Martin Lee Wheeler do, that all individuals are created equal. I believe that everyone deserves the same treatment by the government. This is what America's first leaders, the founders, believed.

To this day, the Republican Party believes and fights for that ideal, an ideal which states that everyone has equal rights, and that these rights include “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

The Republican Party also believes, as the founders did, that it is the purpose of government to make sure that these rights are not taken away from citizens. Your Second Amendment rights should not be taken away. The Republican Party deserves your vote. Martin Lee Wheeler deserves your Vote. I firmly believe that all men and women are created equal, and that the duty of government is to secure their God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
