Fundamental Threat

Dear Republican Party,

There is a fundamental threat to the future of the Republican Party. The threat is found in the growing disregard for individual responsibility among my generation. My friends are being taught that individual responsibility is not important. They are being offered attractive short term solutions without fully understanding and calculating the long term cost. My generation is slowly being lured to believe that the government will provide for everyone's needs. They are believing shallow promises. They are adopting principles that diminish individual responsibility. They must be taught otherwise.

The first of Republican principles declares, "I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored."

You must teach us this principle. Articulate it. Explain why it is important. My generation must understand the importance of individual responsibility. If you don't teach us, we will turn to the alternative which promises to provide.

For our cause and country,
A Young Republican
