Republicans Believe
		The most effective government is government closest to the people.
		The individual is at the heart of good government. Each person's ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility must be honored and recognized.
		Individual citizens are willing and capable of managing their own affairs without government intervention.
		Local, state and national governments must pursue policies designed to encourage individual initiative and induce people to be responsible for their own economic, political and social well-being.
		The primary function of government is to protect the life, common liberty and property of the governed, to prevent fraud and misinterpretation, and to invoke a common justice.
		When a function is undertaken by government, it should be performed by that government closest to the people which will provide as much direct control by those affected as reason and wisdom require to assure freedom and liberty to all citizens with justice under the law.
		National stability and expansion of the free enterprise system can be best assured by application of the Constitutional principles that unite the American people.

Purpose To further the ideals and principles of the Arkansas and National Republican Party. The objects of the Republican Party of Arkansas are:
		The election of qualified Republican candidates to every public office.
		The fulfillment of the needs of the citizens of Arkansas in a manner consistent with the beliefs and principles of the Republican Party.
Our Goals
		To work toward the objectives of the Republican Party of Arkansas.
		To ensure a viable, two-party system for the State of Arkansas.

		To provide for the free and unhampered right of the individual electors of the State to participate in the nomination and election of candidates of their choice.
