Here, you can read about how the Republican Party and Republican women were the primary force behind the women's suffrage movement and the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; how Republican women made history by being the first women to serve in important roles; and, how Republican women today continue to explore uncharted territory on behalf of all women.  Our mission is to promote political awareness among Republican women in the Franklin area. GCRWC will further the interest of the Republican Party through the education of its members and will increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through active political participation.

Freedom
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- President Ronald Reagan

OUR BELIEFS

We believe our strength comes from diversity of opinion, experience, and culture.
We believe in the power of grassroots political activism.
We believe our legacy is developing political leaders for the future.
We believe women are the powerful force for change for the 21st Century.
We believe in government that requires personal responsibility while protecting the worth of the individual.

 

WE ARE REPUBLICANS because... 

...We BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that
each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

...We BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all,
regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

...We BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual incentive have
brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

...We BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow
individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

...We 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.

...We BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government
is government closest to the people.

...We BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us
strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges
of changing times.

...We BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength
and pride while working to extend democracy, peace, freedom and human
rights throughout the world.

...FINALLY, We BELIEVE the Republican Party is the best vehicle for
translating these ideals into positive and successful principles
