Tennessee Republican Assembly

"It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, 'We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government.'

This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government of whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them for ourselves."

Ronald Reagan October 27, 1964

If you consider yourself a true conservative, you are probably somewhat puzzled by some of the things you see and hear out of Republican leadership. Why do some Republican candidates not support the Republican platform? Are you looking for an organization that shares your dream of a Republican Party that is true to its conservative principles? Join us and let's make that dream come true.

The goal of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies is to realign the Republican Party with its original principles. It does this by facilitating the efforts of state-level grass-roots Republican Assembly organizations. Republican Assemblies are now chartered in over 40 states.

The Tennessee Republican Assembly is just such a grassroots organization. Chartered in 1998, we are growing rapidly and learning from successes in other states. The TRA exists as a means to build the Republican party and to ensure that the Republican party espouses our conservative principles in word and deed.

The California Republican Assembly has become the center of power within the California Republican party, and as a result, has caused drastic changes, such as a radical redirection of California's educational policies. The California Republican Assembly worked to ensure equality of treatment in all hiring policies.

We, as conservative Republicans, have concerns about the social, fiscal and political positions taken by some Republican leaders. The TRA stands ready to enthusiastically endorse and support Republican candidates and issues which are in agreement with our principles.
