Oneida County GOP PCP Precinct #4

With the upcoming election it is important to understand what the individual candidates’ views are on specific topics that are important to you as a voter. This article will give you a small glimpse into the Idaho Republican platform and the Idaho GOP Party beliefs. This only contains a portion of the preamble to the Platform but a link to the full platform will be provided below.

The full Platform was updated and adopted on July 16, 2022 in Twin Falls during the Idaho GOP Summer Meeting. Hopefully this will help you compare your views to those of the GOP Party and helps you find a candidate that best aligns with you.

WE ARE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE:

We believe the strength of our nation lies with our faith and reliance on God our Creator, the individual, the family; and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

We Believe in American Exceptionalism.

We Believe the United States Constitution is the greatest and most inspired document to govern a nation, and the republican form of government it gives us, (U.S. Const. Art IV §4), is the best guarantor of freedom in history.

We believe human life begins at conception and is protected by unalienable rights endowed by our Creator along with the fundamental right to life and shall not be infringed. 

We believe free enterprise and encouraging individuals have brought this Nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

We believe government must practice fiscal responsibility, and that taxpayers shall allow the government only the money necessary to provide appropriate functions.

We believe that our Founding Fathers gave us a government that is a servant of the people, not our master. The proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions, which individual or private organization cannot perform. 

We believe the most effective, responsible, responsive government is government closest to the people, and the sovereignty of the state must be protected. That government is best that governs least.

The 18-page platform includes many sections on such topics as Responsibility of Government, Education, Agriculture, Energy, Private Property Rights, State and Federal Lands, Wildlife Management, Religious Liberty and well as many other topics.
