WHY TEEN REPUBLICANS?
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
From the forums of Athens to the foundation of the United States, citizens expressing themselves in government remains the center of life. Whether shaping policy or guiding debate across centuries, civic engagement has led the United States to become not only a world power, but the paragon of democracy and representation across the globe.
As America continues to grow and develop, the need for one's voice to be heard has only increased. With a growing population fostering governmental overreach, the rights and freedoms of the individual citizen are under attack. Expressing your voice in government is a way to vouch for what you believe in, as well as allowing you to elect government officials that will fight for you.

OUR VALUES
The values of PHS Teen Republicans as well as National Teen Age Republicans (TARS) are as follows:
- Individual ability, dignity, freedom & responsibility are basic to good government.
- Free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative and incentive produce a strong economy.
- Equal rights, justice and opportunity belong to all.
- The preservation of our nation and security of our citizens depend on every citizen’s respect for the Constitution, the law and the courts.
- Government exists to protect the freedom of the individual, not restrict it.
- Government should only get involved in the things which people can’t do well themselves.
- Both government and society should assist people who can’t provide for themselves. It should help them become self-supporting, productive citizens who pride independence.
- No man has the right to live off the fruits of another man’s labor.
- Government must maintain sound money and a responsible economy. The rights of life and liberty are meaningless if citizens are deprived through excessive taxation, inflation and government waste.
- World peace and friendship will continue through strength.
