Our Mission

---

Through education, grassroots organization, advocacy, and political  activism, CFTR promotes the principles of limited government, maximum  freedom, personal responsibility, peace through strength, and defense of  the dignity of every individual. These are the ideas that Ronald Reagan  championed when he founded the original CFTR in 1977 to make  conservatism a vibrant political force. 

First, to reestablish conservatism as the organizing principle of the Republican Party. 

Second, to speak out for you both in Washington and across the nation.  Testifying before Congress, appearing on television shows, radio  programs, having a strong presence on the Internet—all in all, standing  up to those liberals who would take away our freedoms, our rights and  our hard-earned money. 

Third, to lobby the government to protect the American taxpayer by  undertaking grassroots initiatives to stop the advance of liberal  government. 

All in all, to act, as Reagan once said, “worthy of ourselves” by  protecting and pursuing those principles and values we hold dear; and  which this nation has always held dear but are now under assault by the  liberal forces in government, in the colleges and universities and in  Hollywood. Citizens for the Republic will stand as a bulwark defending  all that we hold dear: our freedoms, our families, our rights, our  privacy, our individuality, and our dignity.
