Our Purpose: 

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.

With the endorsement of the Ronald Reagan Conservative Society, candidates can receive financial and/or volunteer support that could include help with campaign walks and phone banks. We believe in strong grassroots campaigning through voter walks, phone banks, and public events. 

Our Goal:

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.

Our Core Principles:

Individual Liberty:

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.

Economic Opportunity:

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.

Global Democracy:

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.

National Pride:

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.
