Grand County GOP

Our Republican form of government must be staunchly defended here at home by every citizen and every legislator because the failure to do so will lead inevitably to the wrong people using our government to their own ends.   And, our military must be the strongest in the world, not so that we can impose our ways on others, but so that we can achieve peace through strength.    The National Center for Constitutional Studies describes our Founders intentions this way:

The very fame of our strength and readiness would be a means of discouraging our enemies; for ’tis a wise and true saying, that “One sword often keeps another in the scabbard.” The way to secure peace is to be prepared for war. They that are on their guard, and appear ready to receive their adversaries, are in much less danger of being attacked than the supine, secure and negligent.”   Read the article.
