Citizens for the Republic (CFTR) is a national organization dedicated to revitalizing the conservative movement. Through education, grassroots organization, advocacy, and political activism, CFTR promotes the principles of limited government, maximum freedom, personal responsibility, peace through strength, and defense of the dignity of every individual. These are the ideas that Ronald Reagan championed when he founded the original CFTR in 1977 to make conservatism a vibrant political force.
The renewed Citizens for the Republic is a hardy band of Reaganites, dedicated to the vision and principles of the Founding Fathers, believing the natural goodness lies in the individual and not in the government, that the government is to protect the rights of the citizens, not to impede them.
As Ronald Reagan said, “the role of government is not to protect us from ourselves, it is to protect us from each other.” Reagan understood that America was a rugged, do it yourself enterprise and that any government big enough to do everything for you is also big enough to take everything away from you.
CFTR is about applying the conservative political philosophy of Reagan—as well as Bill Buckley, Barry Goldwater, Thomas Jefferson, and many others--to the current problems facing our country.
