Republican Principles
|
Sometimes we may need a reminder of what it means to be a Republican. Maybe you want to tell a friend. Maybe you need to remind one of your elected representatives who has strayed from principles. For help, you can download and read the entire current Republican Party Platform. For a short refresher, the Michigan Republican Party offers these Principles: I'm a Republican because... - I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
- I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
- I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
- I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
- I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.
- I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
- I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
- I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
- FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Mid Michigan Citizens for Liberty
|
 Our friends in Clinton County creating a group known as the Mid Michigan Citizens for Liberty with the goal of getting more people involved politically and to have people run for precinct delegates in 2017 to impact the Michigan Republican Party at the county, district, and state levels to make it more truly follow Republican Party principles.
The group will encompass all 14 counties in the 4th Congressional District, which includes much of Saginaw County. The intent is to identify and recruit not only precinct delegates but to find honorable individuals that will consider running for office at all levels of government. They are still in the planning stages at this point but if anyone would like to become involved in the discussion, please e-mail Steve Willis.
