Our Mission

The Republican Club of Greater East Polk County supports individual rights, limited government, and free enterprise. We believe every human being is endowed by God with inherent rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

• We support a strict construction of the Bill of Rights as a defense against tyranny; the expansion of those rights to all voluntary consensual conduct under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments; and the requirements of equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.
• We support the Constitutional restrictions on federal government powers enumerated in Article I, Section 8 as an absolute limit on all government functions and programs.
• We oppose the adoption of broad and vague powers under the guise of general welfare or interstate commerce.
• We oppose all restrictions on the voluntary and honest exchange of value in a free market. We favor minimal, equitable, and fair taxation for the essential functions of government. We oppose all legislation that concedes Congressional power to any regulatory agency, executive department, or international body.
• We support the Constitution as the supreme law of the land, the republican form of government it requires, and the right of all citizens to fair and equitable representation.
• We believe these are also the proper positions of the Republican Party.
