What We Believe
We are chartered through the 7th District Missouri Republican Assembly and the Missouri Republican Assembly. We work inside the Republican Party, not as a third party. We endorse Republicans who match these principles.
- 1
Rights come from God, not government. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable.
- 2
The Constitution was written for a moral people. Self-government starts with the person, then family, community, state, and nation.
- 3
Parents have the right to direct their children's education. Schools should not be used to advance a political agenda.
- 4
Free enterprise is the best system for prosperity. Government should stop crowding out the market.
- 5
The traditional family is the cornerstone of society, and public policy should protect it.
- 6
The preborn child is a human being and entitled to the protection of the law.
- 7
A strong national defense preserves peace. We do not accommodate tyranny.
- 8
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms.
- 9
The tax system should move away from punitive income taxes and back toward the Founders' design.
- 10
Victims' rights come before the convenience of criminals.
- 11
Government's first duty is the American people and our sovereign right to rule ourselves.
- 12
The Tenth Amendment means powers not given to the federal government stay with the states and the people. Government closest to the people governs best.
- 13
Elections must be free, fair, and limited to U.S. citizens: photo ID, clean rolls, and paper ballots counted at the precinct.
Local endorsements are made by this chapter using these principles.
