Letter & Principles

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

As Chair of the MRC, I want to share some thoughts on our goals moving forward.

The MRC organized several decades ago, and similar to most volunteer organizations, our group had its ups and downs. Currently, our team is in an upbeat mode. We are sparked with enthusiasm to ignite the Fires of Freedom. We are networking and activating Monroeville Republicans to change outlooks from "I don't know what to do" to the more passionate mindset of "I can make changes by actually doing something." 

There are a lot of problems these days. I like to dwell on solutions. If you feel similarly and want to do just a little more than watch the news and say, "What a shame", please contact me directly at the bottom of the homepage. Together we can go the extra mile to make positive changes in our neighborhoods.

Monroeville voters will cast ballots at both the local and state (judicial) levels in the Primary Election on May 18, 2021. Off-year election? No big deal? Don't kid yourself. This is where the rubber meets the road. Offices available: Election Officers to work behind the tables at the polls, Monroeville Council (Wards 1,3,5,7), 4-seats on Gateway School Board, even the Monroeville Mayor's office is up this cycle along with Allegheny County Council District 8.

As they say, this is not rocket science. Just a desire and dedication to make things better in your community. The MRC has the advice and assistance to help you become a winner.

The Monroeville Republican Committee welcomes and encourages any level of involvement you are comfortable to offer this committee. Our team invites you to join us at our next regular monthly membership meeting on the last Thursday of each month.Do you know any disenchanted Democrats looking for liberty-based, pro free enterprise, and small government society? Bring them to the meeting or call/email me anytime to talk about it. It would be a pleasure to talk/meet with them and you. Please reach out to me anytime with your questions or comments.

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.”
