Honesty – I will always be 100% honest with others and call out and challenge those who are not. 2. Integrity – I will be a man of my word and will do what I say I will do. 3. Justice – I will endorse policies that protect each individual’s right to his own life, liberty, property, and his pursuit of happiness and I will oppose any policy or law that unjustly takes away from a man what he has earned.
