RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY

On behalf of President Raymond T. McKay, welcome to the website of the Rhode Island Republican Assembly. The RIRA is one of over forty chartered state affiliates of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies all across America. The NFRA is an outgrowth of the very successful California Republican Assembly. President Ronald Reagan considered it to be "the Conscience of the Republican Party ©". Founded in 1934, and dedicated to preserving the American way of life, it is our nation's oldest and largest conservative Republican grassroots volunteer organization.

Comprised of traditional Republicans, the NFRA is an independent grassroots organization, dedicated to working within the framework of the Republican Party, to promote the active participation of our members toward the endorsement, support, and election of principled Republican candidates. The NFRA serves as the national umbrella organization for all of the state Republican Assembly ® organizations. Working to unite all conservatives -- both economic and social -- whose interests range from tax cuts and reform to national defense, from Pro-Life to education concerns, from Second Amendment to national sovereignty, to advance traditional conservative Republican values.

Our primary goal is to ensure that the Republican Party does not turn away from the enduring values and solid conservative principles championed by President Ronald Reagan.

Thanks to our friends from the California Republican Assembly, for the first time ever available online, is the complete speech that former President Ronald Reagan gave to the CRA after he and First Lady Nancy Reagan had been the recipients of the CRA’s Man and Woman of the Decade Award back in 1993.

In one of his last recorded speeches, President Reagan took the time to reflect on his terms as Governor of California and as President of the United States, and the important role that the Republican Assembly ®  played in his historic victories. So much of what he said back then is still very applicable today.

“It was here that we planted the seeds for what became known as the Reagan Revolution,” Reagan said. “I really never thought of myself as a revolutionary. After all, we weren’t trying to overrun the government. We were merely trying to keep the government from running over us.”

 

The Annual Convention of the Rhode Island Republican Assembly was held on Thursday, April 12th, 2007. This meeting also served as our Biennial Election Meeting. At that meeting, we elected new general officers for the 2007-2009 term, made several necessary revisions to our bylaws, and discussed plans for upcoming events. In addition, we discussed a number of initiatives, welcomed new members and special guests, and discussed various ways of getting our conservative message out to a broader audience in Rhode Island.

We hope that you will find this website informative and will visit it often. This website is updated regularly. Please feel free to contact the webmaster in order to submit any suggestions, comments, or to report broken links. Thank you very much for visiting our website. We hope that you will return soon. May God Always Bless America!

The 2007 NFRA National Convention will be held from August 3 to 5, 2007 at the St. Louis Airport Marriott Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri . The theme of this Republican Grassroots Presidential Endorsing Convention will be "Show Me Your Values." Most of the Republican presidential candidates and many other great speakers are expected to be in attendance. For more information about registration, hotel reservations, and travel arrangements, please visit the convention registration page on the NFRA website.

The NFRA Board Meeting and Northeast Conservative Conference of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, Rhode Island, from July 21 to 23, 2006. We were able to provide many opportunities for grassroots Republicans to interact with members of our national board and to learn more about how the state and local Republican Assemblies ® work within the framework of the Republican Party. Conference attendees heard from a great selection of speakers -- including United States Senator Dr. Tom Coburn (R-OK), US Senate Candidate Stephen Laffey (R-RI), Rhode Island Right-to-Life Committee Executive Director Rita Parquette, and Susette Kelo (lead plaintiff in the landmark Kelo vs. City of New London Supreme Court eminent domain decision), and many other great speakers.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

"QUOTE OF THE DAY"

"The dustbin of history is littered with the remains of those countries which relied on diplomacy to secure their freedom. We must never forget ... in the final analysis ... that it is our military, industrial and economic strength that offers the best guarantee of peace for America in times of danger."

Sacramento, California
January 7, 1974
