Did You Know |
Charles Wilfred Harris,
Colonel in the Arizona National Guard, served as the captain of the
unit's rifle team in 1910. During the rifle competition at Camp Perry,
Ohio, the Arizona team was the only team without an emblem of any
kind. Colonel Harris was chiefly responsible for the creation of the
rifle team flag that in 1917 became the Arizona State Flag.
Blue and gold are the colors of Arizona. Red and gold are the colors
carried by Coronado's Expedition of 1540 to the Seven Cities of
Cibola. The blue is "liberty blue" identical to the color in the
United States flag field of stars. Since Arizona is a western state
the rays of the setting sun seemed appropriate. There are thirteen
rays representing the original "thirteen colonies. " The large copper
star identifies Arizona as the largest producer of r in the United
States.
On February 27, 1917, the legislature passed the bill to adopt this
flag as the official Arizona State Flag despite dissenting votes and
Governor Campbell's refusal to affix his signature to the bill. |

Pledge |
|
I Am A Republican Because.....
I BELIEVE
the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each
person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal
opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or
disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual
initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and
prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility
and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I 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.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive
government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have
made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the
challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our
national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and
human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best
vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful
principles of government.

President's Corner |
|
Welcome to our website. This is your website so keep us informed as to
what you like, what you dislike, and what you would like to see here.
Some of the departments we are going to include are meet the members,
Future events, and letters to the editor, the president’s corner, club
news, and information on the
Arizona Republican Party. Since this is your website, we
want to actively solicit your input. We also welcome constructive
critical reviews as this will allow us to continue to improve this
website.
Republicans in Sun City Grand believe we are fortunate to live in
this great land and believe we have been blessed with a unique set of
individual freedoms in which all peoples in the
United States can call their
own. You can be what you are, and become that which you are capable
of becoming.
We are inspired by the power and ingenuity of the individual to
succeed through hard work, family support and self discipline. We also
believe in helping those around us.
Republicans believe in the value of voluntary giving and community
support over taxation and forced redistribution. A smaller government
is best for the people.
Like our founding fathers we believe that government must be limited
so that it never becomes powerful enough to infringe on the rights of
individuals. We believe that you know best what you should do with
your earnings, better than the government.
We believe in supporting lower taxes because individuals know best
how to make their own economic and charitable choices. Free markets
keep people free.
Sun City Grand Republicans are
supportive of logical business regulations that encourage
entrepreneurs to start more businesses so our citizens can enjoy the
satisfaction and fruits of self-made success.
We support our armed forces to defend and protect our Republic
democracy. We are committed to preserving our national strength while
working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the
world.
The Republican Party is guided by these principles as it develops
solutions to the challenges facing our
United States of America.
If you believe in these principles you are a Republican and should
join us in making your voice heard.
