Oklahoma Republican Party

We believe in limited government, individual liberty and personal moral responsibility.

We believe Oklahoma should be a place of opportunity where people who work hard and play by the rules can purse their own dreams with a reasonable expectation of success.

As Republicans, we believe:

·        Our rights of life, liberty and property are natural rights granted to us by God and protected by the Constitution.

·        In the right to worship as we please without government intrusion or interference.

·        The federal government’s power should be limited, yet responsible for protecting our sovereignty, establishing justice under law and securing our liberty through a strong national defense and effective law enforcement.

·        God is the Author and Creator of life and that all human life, both born and unborn, should be protected.

·        In traditional marriage consisting of one man and one woman.

·        It is the private sector and free market principles that best stimulate economic development rather than government subsidies or programs.

·        Taxes collected at all levels of government should be used only for legitimate government functions, and those functions carried out efficiently so that

·        That government closest to the people governs best and should be preferred to centralized control whenever possible.

·        It is the right of every parent to act in his or her children’s best interest including choosing the form of their education, whether at a public school, private school or at home.

·        We should welcome immigrants who want to legally seek freedom and opportunity, who want to work for a living and who will embrace our values, learn the English language and respect our national sovereignty.
