The mission of the 30th district Republicans is to preserve liberty through promoting limited constitutional government, sound economic, social, domestic and foreign policies. It is also to promote legislation that will further these ends, educate the public and to act as the official voice of the Republican Party in the 30th Legislative District of Washington State.
Why I am a Republican
This question can be answered with one word. That word is Liberty. Why did I use Liberty and not Freedom? Freedom means different things to different people. Freedom to a Republican means two things. First it means that we are free to do good, innovate, create, make our own decisions and chart our own course. We are also free from unnecessary government restraints and regulations. Some people define freedom as the absence of hunger, thirst, disease, sickness, responsibility and accountability. With them it is freedom from, not freedom to… Republicans know that responsibility and accountability come with freedom and liberty. We are free to choose our actions; however, we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions.
There are Six way to Lose Your Freedom
- You can be conquered by a foreign power. The first and most important function of government is to defend this great land. It is essential to maintain a strong military. Teddy Roosevelt used to say “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Iran released our people rather than face Ronald Reagan. President Reagan knew that the best defense is a strong military. Peace through strength works. The other party has historically been anti military and they are currently working very hard to insure that this nation does not win the war on terror. As Ann Coulter said; “Their primary military strategy is preemptive surrender.”
- You can allow your own government to grow in size and power until you end up living in tyranny. In King County rural land owners cannot use 65% of their own property. Government greed is resulting in serious violations of the rights of the people. The constitution guarantees the American people certain rights. None of those rights places obligations upon others. We have freedom of the press; however, nobody is required to read what I write. We have a right to worshop according to the dictates of our own conscience. This only requires that other allow us to exercise that right. There is not a right to health care as this would obligate somebody to provide it. The Democrat party is constantly inventing new rights that place obligations on others resulting in a destruction of liberty.
- Allow the national debt to grow until you are enslaved to debt. After WWII our nation indulged in deficit spending and increased the debt. for more than fifty years. Government spending was out of control. It remains out of control to this day. The cost of servicing the debt is a large burden. Republicans have historically strongly favored fiscal responsibility. Republicans will engage in deficit spending when it is required to preserve out freedom and liberty. Reagan engaged in deficet spending as part of a strategy to defeat the Soviet Union. Bush engages in deficit spending to wage the war on terror. The Democrats engage in deficet spending to finance social spending and promote very liberal causes.
- Permit your society to descend into anarchy. We must maintain sufficient law enforcement to guarantee that crime never pays. The Republican party is and has been tough on crime. Liberals are very soft on crime. Only intense pressure from the public can convince a liberal to support good crime legislation, then they appoint judges who will not implement tough laws. Nobody wants to see an innocent man convicted of a crime.
- A nation can lose their freedom by becoming enslaved to vice. Drug abuse, sex and other vices can be powerfully addicting. What could deprive a people of their freedom more rapidly? We must embrace policies that will help our nation remain vice free.
- Benjamin Franklin stated that those who would give up their essential liberties for safety will have and deserve neither. His words were prophetic. Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to get her health care package passed said; “We may have to give up our little freedoms for the greater good.” Enough said!
The Republican party is on the right side of each one of these issues. The other major party is on the wrong side of each of these.
