Ronald Reagan
demonstrated to
America that a
candidate could win
a campaign with a
positive vision and
conservative
principles.
The Purpose of the
Ronald Reagan
Conservative Society
is to identify,
influence, or
attempt to influence
the selection,
nomination,
election, or
appointment of
anyone to any
Federal, State, or
Local Public Office
and to promote such
a candidate who will
put forth a
conservative agenda
for the office
he/she is running
for.
President Reagan's
leadership and
principles made
conservatism a
viable mainstream
ideology in America.
The advancement of
the principles of
smaller government &
lower taxes,
pro-life/pro-family
policies and
legislation, and
supporting the fight
on terrorism and the
men and women who
serve in the Armed
Services are the
core issues of the
Ronald Reagan
Conservative
Society.
The goal of the
Ronald Reagan
Conservative Society
is to continue the
legacy of the
greatest President
of our generation by
assisting candidates
endorsed by the
Society through
financial and/or
volunteer support.
We believe The
Declaration of
Independence is a
inspiring document
which is based on
the fact that “all
men are created
equal, that they are
endowed by their
Creator with certain
Unalienable Rights,
that among them are
Life, Liberty, and
the pursuit of
Happiness.“
Thus, the Founding
Fathers intent was
that God remain an
important part of
American life and
was influential in
the creation of
America. The use of
“Creator” and “a
firm reliance on the
protection of divine
Providence” in The
Declaration of
Independence clearly
supports this
belief. Any actions
to remove God is
contrary to our
beliefs.
Judicial decisions
should be based on a
strict
interpretation of
the constitution and
appliance of
existing laws and
anything otherwise
infringes on the
legislative branch
of government.
Therefore, the
Supreme Court, in
its ruling in the
case of Roe v. Wade,
violated the states
rights provision as
outlined in the 10th
Amendment to the
Constitution in
accepting and ruling
on the case. We
believe this
decision should be
returned to the
states.
In addition, we
believe in the
traditional
definition of
marriage as being
between a man and a
woman and its
foundation of the
family unit in
society. Any actions
to change the
definition of
marriage is contrary
to our beliefs. We
will always have a
core principle of
Pro-Life /
Pro-Family.
We believe that the
size of government
is too large, that
policies and laws
should be enacted
that limit the size
and scope of
government.
Governmental budgets
should be based on
zero-based
budgeting, all
departments should
have to provide
yearly
justifications
rather than receive
an annual increase
to their budget.
Economic policies
should be designed
to encourage
economic growth and
reform of the
current system of
taxation should
include changing to
a national sales tax
or consumption tax
as a more fair
system of revenue
generation. We will
always have a core
principle of smaller
government based on
fiscally
conservative
policies.
We believe that the
end of the Cold War
was a direct result
of the policies of
President Ronald
Reagan. It had been
the President's goal
to bring an end to
communism and he
supported peaceful
efforts to spread
Democracy throughout
Eastern Europe. This
is the sole reason
for the end of
Communism and
without his cry to
"Tear Down This
Wall," we would
still be facing the
Soviet Union as a
unified Communist
nation.
We also believe that
the President's
negotiations with
the Soviets and a
unwavering stance on
the development of a
Missile Defense
Shield proved to
Mikhail Gorbachev
that unlike Russia,
America could be
offensive and
defensive in any
nuclear conflict.
This led to the
historic agreement
to destroy current
stocks of nuclear
weapons which no
Soviet leader had
ever agreed to
before. "Trust but
Verify" was a
successful strategy.
As President Reagan
said, "We don't
mistrust each other
because of these
weapons we have and
because we are armed
this way. We're
armed this way
because we mistrust
each other." By
working to eliminate
the mistrust,
President Reagan
worked to eliminate
the nuclear threat
for the first time
and end the cold
war.
With force used in
Grenada and in the
air strikes against
Libya, the world
would know America
would take the
fight directly to
the enemy. As the
global war on terror
has become the new
war, the Leadership
of President Reagan
serves as a reminder
as we fight Islamic
terrorists. By
bringing the fight
to their soil, we
reduce the chances
of America being
attacked like what
happened on
September 11, 2001.
We will always have
a core principle of
fighting terrorism
abroad so that we
may be safer at
home.
We believe that
prior to President
Reagan taking
office; there was a
general malaise due
to the failed
liberal policies
that led to double
digit inflation,
interest rates, and
unemployment. Our
military had become
inadequate to
properly defend
America. This
combined with issues
escalating in the
Middle East, the
United States had
gained a label of
being weak and
without pride after
the failed hostage
rescue.
By immediately
recognizing the need
to bolster our
Military, reduce
taxes that had
previously stifled
the economy, and
reinstitute
pro-family/pro-life
policies; President
Reagan restored our
National Pride. We
will always have a
core principle of
that President
Reagan's morally and
fiscally
conservative
policies will
ultimately be his
lasting legacy.
