Traditional
Republican
Organization Of
Ocean County
“Traditional
Republicans For
Reform And
Accountability”
Republican
Government
should be based
on the
traditional
Republican
values of
transparency,
full disclosure,
cost-effective
spending, fair
and reasonable
taxation, and
respect for the
environment and
for the basic
citizenship
rights
guaranteed by
the constitution
and the
Declaration of
Independence.
For the past
several years in
Ocean County,
these values
have been
corrupted and
trampled by a
corrosive
political
machine that has
raised taxes all
over the county
and exercised an
unparalleled
level of greed
to enrich a
small group of
lawyers and
other
“professionals”
who control the
political
process to
generate
political
payoffs.
We are opposed
to the political
machine and its
consistent
betrayal of
Republican
values. The
current
Republican
leadership has
abandoned the
taxpayers and
voters.
It is the
purpose of this
Traditional
Republican
Organization to
work for the
reforms that
will replace the
political
machine with men
and women of
integrity and
purpose; who
will run the
government on
all levels so
the citizens and
the taxpayers
come first.
This Traditional
Republican
Organization was
started in
December of
2006, and we ran
candidates in
Toms River and
Ocean County for
Mayor, Council
and Freeholder.
Our candidates
earned 45% of
the vote in Toms
River, and more
than 37% of the
vote
county-wide. We
are encouraged
by these results
because the vote
was a protest
against the
abuses of the
Political
Machine
which, financed
by the New
Jersey
Republican State
Committee,
outspent our
campaign by more
than 10 to 1.
This declaration
is a formal
statement of
policy, and
confirmation
that we are
organized as
follows:
Membership is
open to any
person who
believes in
basic Republican
values who is
not a member of
any organization
controlled by
the Political
Machine, and is
willing to
support us on
the issues.
We have elected
15 Trustees who
have selected a
Chairperson and
Co-Chair to
preside over
meetings of the
organization,
and a Secretary
to keep
necessary
records.
Additional
trustees will be
added as more
members become
associated with
us.
Everyone in our
organization
will be regarded
as a leader and
spokesperson for
our organization
and for the
basic values we
represent in the
Republican
Party.
There are no
dues or fees for
membership.
Donations are
always welcome.
Meetings will be
held as desired
by the
membership.
