About
Us
Our Story
The
Tufts Republicans club is dedicated to bringing light upon this Walnut
Hill, our country, and the world.
A 100-member student organization, we strive to promote Republican
and conservative ideas at
Tufts
University
through education, activism, and political involvement. The Tufts
Republicans have been the conservative voice for generations of Tufts
students and carry on this proud tradition.
The GOP Pledge (top)
We
believe that the proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot be done as well by individuals, and that the most effective government is government closest to the people.
We believe that good government is based on the individual and that each person's ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility must be honored and recognized.
We believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive have given this nation an economic system second to none.
We believe that sound money policy should be our goal.
We believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex or national origin. I believe that persons with disabilities should be afforded equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity as well.
We believe we must retain those principles worth retaining, yet always be receptive to new ideas with an outlook broad enough to accommodate thoughtful change and varying points of view.
We believe that Americans value and should preserve their feeling of national strength and pride, and at the same time share with people everywhere a desire for peace and freedom and the extension of human rights throughout the world.
Finally, we believe that the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.
