Clare County Republican Party Coalition Statement
As grassroots conservatives, the Clare County Republican Party is dedicated to advancing conservative principles, safeguarding individual liberties, upholding traditional values, fostering community engagement, and protecting the Republican brand. We are committed to forging robust coalitions with organizations and other County Republican Parties that share our mission to strengthen our nation while preserving the integrity and values of the Republican identity. By partnering with like-minded groups and fellow Republican organizations, we aim to amplify our collective impact, share resources, and collaborate on shared goals that benefit Clare County, our state, and our country. Below, we highlight how specific organizations align with our values and why these partnerships are vital to our mission.
Alignment with Turning Point USA (TPUSA), Club America, TPFaith and TPAction Coalitions
Turning Point USA, along with its affiliates like Club America and TPAction Coalitions, shares our commitment to empowering young conservatives and driving grassroots activism. Their alignment with our values includes:
Championing Free Speech and Individual Liberty: TPUSA and its coalitions vigorously defend First Amendment rights, particularly on college campuses, mirroring our party's focus on protecting personal freedoms from government overreach. This shared priority stems from our mutual belief that open discourse is the cornerstone of a thriving democracy and strengthens the Republican brand.
Engaging and Educating Youth: These organizations prioritize educating and mobilizing young people in conservative values like limited government and free-market principles, directly supporting our goal of inspiring future leaders to ensure the endurance of Republican ideals and the vitality of our party.
Grassroots Advocacy and Election Integrity: TPAction Coalitions emphasize voter mobilization and policy advocacy, aligning with our dedication to fair elections, constitutional governance, and community-driven change. Their action-oriented approach complements our grassroots efforts to hold leaders accountable, promote pro-America policies, and uphold the Republican brand.
Learning Biblical Citizenship: Turning Point Faith proudly endorses Patriot Academy's Biblical Citizenship which our members also proudly endorse. Several Clare County Republican Party members are regsitered as Hosts and teach this class locally periodically and via Zoom.
Alignment with the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and Christian Churches
The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and Christian churches embody values of patriotism, service, and moral integrity, which resonate deeply with our party's principles of honoring veterans, supporting faith-based communities, promoting ethical leadership, and preserving the traditional values central to the Republican identity. Their alignment includes:
Patriotism and Veteran Support (American Legion and VFW): Both the American Legion and VFW advocate for veterans who have served our nation, aligning with our respect for military sacrifice and strong national defense. The American Legion’s preamble to the US Constitution explicitly emphasizes “God and Country” and a commitment to Americanism, reflecting our shared dedication to patriotism, national unity, and preserving American exceptionalism. This ensures veterans receive the support, recognition, and resources they deserve, reinforcing the Republican brand’s emphasis on patriotism and service.
Community Service and Traditional Values (American Legion, VFW, and Christian Churches): These organizations emphasize selfless service, family-oriented principles, and moral guidance, echoing our focus on pro-family policies, ethical governance, and community welfare. Christian churches, in particular, promote faith, compassion, and personal responsibility—core tenets of our conservative worldview that strengthen the Republican brand by countering cultural shifts away from traditional norms.
Civic Engagement and Moral Leadership: These groups foster active citizenship and ethical decision-making, supporting our mission to build a society rooted in Christian values, fiscal responsibility, and the rule of law. Their alignment bolsters our efforts to protect religious freedom, promote social stability, and maintain the integrity of the Republican identity.
Alignment with Right to Life
The Clare County Republican Party steadfastly aligns with Right to Life by championing the inherent dignity of every human life from conception, advocating legal protections for the unborn as persons with equal rights, and rejecting taxpayer-funded elective abortions in favor of life-affirming alternatives such as adoption and maternal support. We promote informed consent through ultrasound requirements and waiting periods to empower women with compassionate truth, require parental notification for minors to uphold family authority, and defend the elderly and disabled against euthanasia—ensuring a consistent ethic of life that safeguards human dignity at every stage until natural death.
Alignment with Hunting and Gun Clubs
The Clare County Republican Party proudly stands with local hunting clubs as natural allies in defending our cherished American traditions and constitutional freedoms. At the heart of this alignment is our unwavering commitment to the Second Amendment, which safeguards not only the right to self-defense but also the time-honored pursuit of hunting as a vital expression of liberty and self-reliance. Hunting clubs embody the spirit of responsible stewardship, where members hone skills in marksmanship, wildlife management, and outdoor ethics—values that mirror the Republican principles of individual responsibility and limited government interference.
Our partnership thrives on shared priorities that extend beyond the field. Republicans champion policies that expand access to public lands for hunting, bolster conservation efforts through programs like the Pittman-Robertson Act, and oppose burdensome regulations that threaten family traditions passed down through generations. In Clare County, where rural heritage runs deep, hunting clubs and our party collaborate to protect habitats, promote youth education in safe firearm use, and advocate for fair resource allocation—ensuring that future generations can enjoy the fruits of our natural bounty without the overreach of urban-centric mandates.
Together, we form a formidable coalition against threats to our way of life, from anti-gun legislation to environmental extremism that ignores the proven role of hunters as conservation leaders. By uniting our voices, the Clare County Republican Party and hunting clubs reinforce a vision of America where freedom rings in every shotgun blast and trail blazed, fostering community, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of the American dream.
