Jackie Yates, Nacogdoches Republican Chair:
What are the Republican Party Principles?
- We respect and cherish the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and our Founders’ intent to restrict the power of the federal government over the states and the people.
- We believe that human life is sacred, created in the image of God. Life begins at the moment of fertilization and ends at the point of natural death. All innocent human life must be protected.
- We believe that good government is based on the individual, and each person’s ability, dignity, freedom, and responsibility must be honored and recognized.
- We Believe that government spending is out of control and needs to be reduced. We support fundamental, immediate tax reform that is simple, fair, and fully disclosed.
- We believe that a well-educated population is fundamental to the continued success of our Republic; and that parents have the right, as well as the duty, to direct their children’s education.
- We believe that the future of our county depends upon a strong and vibrant private sector unencumbered by excessive government regulation.
- We believe that a strong America ensures a free America.
- We believe in peace through strength. We take a principled stand to preemptively depend the citizens of the United States against all foes, foreign or domestic, whose goal is to destroy our American way of life. Freedom is never free, and we honor all those who have served our nation to protect our liberty, especially our men and woman in uniform, who unselfishly and courageously defend our county.
- We believe all Americans have the right to be safe in their homes, on their streets, and in their communities. We support enforcement of the laws through the Courts imposing swift and sure justice with stiff penalties, truth in sentencing and respecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.
