SCRP

There are many issues that we as Republicans hold dear to our hearts. However, our Core Values must represent the foundation of our principles, reflect who we are, what we stand for, and bring focus to issues with which we can win.

Why Vote Republican in 2024

Very soon the same people who

• Shut down your businesses

• Hampered or killed your careers

• Raised your taxes multiple times

• Increased the prices for food, gas and other needs

• Took away your public safety

  Defunded the police

  Mischaracterized the police

  Gave public safety benefits to criminals

• Ruined the educational system for your kids

• Are butchering your children; such that they will never become the men and women God created them to be

• Are providing abortion services at taxpayer expense

  They are murdering the unborn and their body parts are being sold for profit

• Are providing illegal immigrants a comprehensive package of services at taxpayer expense

• Taking your rights as parents away; parents must have the exclusive right to their kids, just as kids have the right to their parents

• Causing higher inflation

• The media suppresses your education on key issues we must know about and understand to make reasoned decisions on votes

• Maintained fraud in our electoral system

  will be asking you to re-elect them so they can keep what they have and continue to take more from you.

  Never forget what they have done and are doing to everyone. In Washington State every problem, issue and concern is and has been caused by Democrats; they have been in power for 40 years.

  Since Inslee has been governor, the state budget has increased 109% and the population has increased 14%, a 678% increase in budget over population.

What do we need to do?

• We need to accept that we are responsible for what’s happening to us by our government.

• Stop – stop attacking each other; attack what the Democrats are doing to everyone and think about what good Republicans can and will do for you.

  Look at the 1.3 million service members who gave everything for us – everything, and the 1.4 million Americans who were injured defending America.

  Look at the 25,000 law enforcement officers who gave everything to keep us safe. How, how can we ignore that. We say we support these wonderful people, but what are we actually investing in them and our country to memorialize them?

“An informed patriotism is what we want. Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world?” Reagan

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next.” Lincoln

Look where our educational system is and what our kids are actually learning.

It’s time to bring our country back to the reality in which it was created – a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. We do that by voting. Vote your conscience, but vote. By not voting we vote the Democrats in.

Conservative Core Values

God and Country

It is held as self-evident by our founders that our rights are endowed to us by our Creator. This declaration and acknowledgment of a Supreme Being bequeaths a moral responsibility on us as individuals and a nation that we are obligated to pass on to future generations. To do so, we as a people must hold fast to certain traditions and virtues. As we remain true to our faith, family, and freedom we naturally promote a culture of life for our most vulnerable, both young and old alike. Ascribing to these principles we gain moral clarity to make wise decisions here at home and continue to remain an upright and just nation. With ethics and honor we will show leadership to other nations and insure peace and our own security by maintaining our superior military might. As a sovereign nation we will maintain the integrity of our borders and resist any global legislation that attempts to circumvent our Constitution.

Smaller, localized Government

Anything not expressly granted in the constitution to the Federal government is reserved for the States or the people. Decisions made at a more local level result in more efficient and accountable government. Whether federal, state, county, city or town, each level of government must restrain itself to its own business and not project undue influence on matters not directly related to its obligation. Likewise judges, Federal or State, must not legislate or ascribe policy from the bench abridging or circumventing that which is reserved for the people voiced in vote, referendum or constitutionally authorized legislation.

Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability

We embrace sound fiscal policies that include a balanced budget, a simplified tax system, performance audits and transparent dealings with public money. We encourage thrift and efficient management in all departments and agencies. We reject earmarks, reckless spending, redistribution schemes, and unfunded mandates. We support severe punishment for those elected officials who violate the public trust.

Free Enterprise

Capitalism encourages self-reliance, economic opportunity with endless possibilities of societal advancement for all. Socialism leads to dependence on an ever-expanding dictatorial State with economic limitations that instill institutionalized poverty and class warfare. We encourage policies that promote economic freedom allowing the creation and holding of personal wealth with the ability of small and large business to thrive within a free market, with fair and just trade. We must stabilize our future by becoming energy independent of foreign countries controls and cartels. With all freedom comes responsibility. As we encourage individuals and businesses to prosper, as stewards of the environment we champion the protection of, but not exclusion of the ability to enjoy, maintain and use the resources and beauty it provides.
