Letter & Principles

Greetings and welcome to the Monroeville Republican Committee (MRC)!  

Happy 2024! Now that we are well on our way into the New Year,  it is time to focus like a laser beam and get Republican  candidates elected all the way up and down the ballot. This year we will  elect a President/Vice President, PA U.S. senator, PA U.S. Congressman  for District 12, PA Attorney General, Auditor General,  Treasurer, PA senator for District 45 and representative for District  25. That's a lot of politicking! Like all elections, now is the time to  do something about the issues that are important to you by supporting  the campaigns in many different ways. There  are lots of opportunities for you to help your state and country. Each  candidate has to get many signatures on their candidacy petitions  between January 23 and February 13. Then the campaigning begins for the  Primary Election on April 23, lots of picnics and  fundraising events over the summer, culminating with the General  Election November 5. Each cycle, we say, "This is the most important  election in the history of the universe!" Well, let me tell you this:  November 5 will be the election to determine whether the United States of America  continues to be the Constitutional Republic it was founded to be or fall  into the abyss of the failure and destruction of socio-communism.  Reality check: the Democrat party has been taken  over by a bunch of power-hungry Marxists who want to strip you of your  God-given rights and tell you how to live while most Republicans just  want to be left alone to live our law-abiding lives based on morals,  ethics and virtue. Quite a difference if you ask  me. They want you to feel powerless. They want you to feel discouraged. They don't want you to vote for the right candidate. Sounds like some pretty big problems, right? I have the solution to all of them: Pushback. Get involved, donate to and join with campaigns, talk to other people who are willing to listen (Don't even  try to engage with someone who won't), and most importantly, join and  help with the Monroeville Republican Committee. It's time  to be bold, stand up for your rights, and stop talking/start doing.  You've got the time? We've got the ways. 

Sincerely, 

Len Young 

Chair/Monroeville Republican Committee 

I am a Republican because:

I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be honored.

I believe in equal rights and equal justice for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age, or disability.

I believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity.

I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least and exercises only those constitutional powers granted to government by the people.

I believe the most effective, responsible, and responsive government is government closest to the people.

I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world.

Finally, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

“The first organizing convention of the Republican party was in Pittsburgh on February 22, 1856. The gavel fell to open the party's first nominating convention, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 1856, announcing the birth of the Republican Party as a unified political force.”
