CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

In these challenging times it has become more and more important that citizens of this great nation get involved in the governance of our country. One very good way to be a part of the solution is to make absolutely certain that you vote in every election. A second and very effective way of making things happen is to become active in your local political party; especially, we hope, in our local Republican organization.

As Republicans we have beliefs that are values that are very different than those espoused by the Democrats. It is important that as Republicans we make absolutely sure that we remember these values and are prepared to defend them when necessary, when challenged by differing beliefs that we consider counter to the good of our nation.

To begin with, we believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
We believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability; we believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity; we believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn; we 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; we believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people; we believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times; we believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world; finally, we believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

It is our hope that if you share these beliefs you will join the La Canada Flintridge Republican Club and that you will work with us on electing public officials who not only share these beliefs, but will work hard on our behalf to ensure that America, on the local, state and federal level is governed based on these enduring values.
