Mission Statement
The primary beliefs and goals of the Collin County Conservative Republicans are as follow:
  • Identify and elect fiscally and socially conservative individuals to public office,
  • Educate the electorate on Constitutional principles,
  • Encourage our members to actively further the cause of liberty,
  • Promote the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, as written, as the basis for our laws and behavior.
Reasons for being a Republican
  • America Is Exceptional
    The United States is an exceptional nation. No other country in the history of the world has done more to secure liberty and honor God-given rights of individuals. Our government is uniquely of, by, and for the people, not the other way around.

  • Secure Borders
    Secure Borders - Legal immigrants have enriched this country. Illegal immigration undermines American sovereignty and weakens national security. The U.S. has a right and obligation to secure it's borders.

  • Strong Military
    A strong military is a deterrent. The U.S. must maintain military superiority to ensure our security. The American military is made up of dedicated and patriotic individuals who deserve this nation's full support.

  • Energy Independence
    For national security and economic reasons it is time that we as a nation become energy independent by exploiting all our natural resources responsibly while at the same time encouraging energy innovation.

  • Individual Rights
    The subjugation of individual rights in favor of groups rights is unconstitutional and has always lead to the trampling of individual freedom.

  • Individual Responsibility
    Individuals are responsible for their actions and the consequences. It is not government's place to save individuals from their mistakes. This kind of government intervention only encourages irresponsible behavior and impinges on others' rights.

  • Limited Government
    Thoreau was correct when he wrote: "That government is best which governs least." Government should be limited to the powers delegated it by the Constitution. Beyond these powers, as government grows, individual freedom shrinks and the economy suffers.

  • Low Taxes and Fiscal Constraint
    Government redistribution of income through taxation is not Constitutional. Individuals have a right to their income and are far better managers of their money than is the government. Free market solutions improve the economy while upholding individual freedoms.

  • Supreme Court
    The purpose of the Supreme Court is to determine whether laws are in keeping with the Constitutionally limited powers delegated the government. The Supreme Court is not to rule based on any other standard than that of a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution.

  • Religious Freedom
    Americans should be free to practice religion how they please. Christianity has been a positive force in our society. Government should not overreach its powers to discriminate against any religious group. Government has no right to suppress prayers nor expressions of faith in public schools.

  • Respect for Life
    Life is sacred and is to be defended. This includes the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. Ronald Reagan was correct when he wrote: "Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life - the unborn - without diminishing the value of all human life."

  • Right to Bear Arms
    The right to own a gun is recognized specifically in the Constitution, yet it is constantly under attack legislatively and legally. The right to own firearms is important to the safety and security of individuals and a nation.
