We are not the Republican Party.
We have a different Role.
We have a different Focus.
We don’t have to be “big tent” or “inclusive”!

We are not another party.
We are Republicans and support Republicans only.
We demonstrate loyalty to the GOP which is critical to our success.
We will not jump ship when we suffer setbacks.
Changing a tire is easier than re-inventing the wheel.

We are not an issue group.
We let the experts handle the issues
We will network with issue groups and work together for the cause.
We will develop political muscle and aid the issue groups.

We are not a front for any candidate or official.
We will endorse conservative candidates at the grassroots level.
We want to build relationships with candidates & elected officials.
We will not be used by the candidates or officials.
We don’t put all of our eggs in one basket.

We are a politically focused group.
We are based in issues but focused on politics.
We limit our involvement in issue related activities.
We must understand the difference between: “issue based/issue focused” and “issue based/politically focused”.

The Republican Assembly is an umbrella organization for all conservatives.
We are a unifying force for coservatives…we win by addition, not subtraction.
We will work with those we don’t agree with 100% (Reagan’s principle…if you agree on 85% of the issues)
Our focus is on the unifying essentials not divisive minutiae.

We are filling a vacuum within the Republican Party.
Many liberal Republican groups already exist (i.e. Log Cabin, Mainstream, Pachyderms)
Several Policy neutral groups exist (Women, College, Young, Etc)
WVRA is organized to unite the conservatives within the party.

We will do the things the party cannot do or will not do.
We train and educate candidates and elected officials.
We endorse Republicans in non-partisan races.
We endorse the conservative position on issue elections.
We endorse the best conservatives in party races.
We hold the party itself to the principles that made it great.
