 PREAMBLE

Ronald Reagan once said that, “America is too great for small dreams.” Throughout this great
nation, people from all walks of life have dreamed of freedom, opportunity, and the chance to
leave this world a better place for the next generation. The North Carolina Republican Party
unequivocally defends that dream.

We are the party that affirms the guiding principles in our Declaration of Independence, and
recognize God, not government, as the Author of these principles. It is the duty of governments
to protect these rights. We are the party of individuals and the institutions they create
together—families, schools, congregations, neighborhoods—to advance their ideals and realize
their dreams. We are the party that encourages equality for all citizens and embraces the
inherent value of every single human being God creates—born and unborn. We are the party
that defends the religious beliefs and rights of conscience of all Americans and safeguards
religious institutions against government control. We reaffirm the Constitution’s fundamental
principles: limited government, separation of powers, individual liberty, and the rule of law. As
a Party, we denounce bigotry, racism, sexism, antisemitism, ethnic prejudice, and religious
intolerance. We are the party that stands strong against tyranny and will fight at home and
abroad to protect the lives and fundamental liberties of all people. We are the party of a
growing economy that gives everyone—regardless of background--a chance in life, an
opportunity to learn, work and realize the prosperity that is made possible by the freedom we
hold dear.

The Republican Party is committed to the values and ideals that are the true greatness of
America, and we gladly join together to fight for justice, secure the blessings of liberty, and
provide true opportunity and hope for generations to come.

ARTICLE I. FAMILY

1. Our nation’s strength lies with the family. It is the first school of moral character, education,
discipline, responsibility, patriotism and good citizenship. Traditional marriage and family, based
on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a civil society. Therefore,
we oppose the use of public funds or government entities to promote the deconstruction of the
traditional family, or gender confusion among minors. There are only two genders—male and
female. We support actions to return marriage laws to the states; therefore, we support the
marriage amendment as part of the North Carolina constitution and encourage all efforts to
defend it.

2. We recognize and honor the courageous efforts of those who bear the many burdens of
parenting alone, even as we affirm our support for traditional marriage.

3. We affirm the authority of parental rights over their children’s welfare from conception to
emancipation. We support laws that require written, notarized consent for all medical
treatments such as but not limited to vaccinations, immunizations, mental health treatments of
minor children, drug and alcohol treatment, and counseling and services related to
immunizations, contraceptives, pregnancy and abortion. Government, however, should protect
children from abuse and neglect, balancing parental rights with the protection of a child’s health
and safety.

4. We support efforts to make adoptions in North Carolina easier to access. We believe that
children, when adopted in a “forever home,” have the best chances for success in life. We
applaud foster parents for their dedication and urge our state to ensure that the foster care
system is efficient and puts the best interests of the child first. Support should be provided for
young adults as they transition out of the foster care system.

4
ARTICLE II. INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY

1. Liberty is founded upon a belief in the inherent dignity of the human person and recognition
that individuals possess God-given inherent rights including, but not limited to: the right to life,
liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. The fundamental role of government is to
protect those inherent rights as recognized in our Declaration of Independence, the U.S.
Constitution, including its Bill of Rights, and the North Carolina Constitution, and its Declaration
of Rights.

2. We support the free exercise of religion by all Americans. We oppose any restriction on the free
exercise of religion such as removing prayer from governmental activities or name of God or
similar terms from our public documents and institutions. We oppose any attempt of
government to establish a state religion, or to foster one religion over another. We oppose any
governmental coercive action aimed at limiting the free exercise of religion. We support the
right of individuals and corporations to uphold their free exercise rights consistent with the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution. We support the right of all institutions, including
hospitals and schools, to refuse to provide contraceptive, abortion, or other services and
procedures inconsistent with their religious tenets.

3. Government should treat all citizens impartially and equally under the law. Unjust
discrimination is detrimental to freedom for all individuals, and we oppose it in any form. The
concept of guaranteed equity runs counter to our beliefs. Efforts to equalize outcomes result in
unequal treatment of individuals and loss of personal freedom.

4. The Second Amendment and the NC Constitution guarantee the right of the individual to keep
and bear arms. We support the constitutional ownership, sale, purchase and carry of firearms
by law-abiding citizens. Further, we support reducing the number of “gun-free zones.” Gun
owners have a right to confidentiality. Personal information acquired by government agencies
for gun purchases and permitting should be available to law enforcement for investigative
purposes only and not for public record.

5. Private property should not be taken by eminent domain except for a direct public use and upon
prompt payment of just compensation.

6. We disagree with all censorship of constitutionally protected free speech, including–but not
limited to–all social media platforms.

7. We are made in the image of God, endowed with the capacity to learn and exercise individual
liberty. It is crucial to safeguard humanity by implementing legal protections and severe
penalties for those who misuse technology to alter the essence of what it means to be human.

5
ARTICLE III. JUSTICE

1. One of the main duties of government is to maintain law and order, while securing for its
citizens the freedom to pursue the blessings of liberty and the fruits of their labor.

2. We honor the men and women in uniform who protect citizens of North Carolina at home and
abroad. We are grateful for our state and local law enforcement as well as our first responders
for their public service to our citizens.

3. We oppose the weaponization of the justice system against political opponents. All vestiges of
this scourge should be removed to restore the principles of true justice and due process for all.

4. We support the death penalty for first degree murder. Deaths from fentanyl and other highly
poisonous synthetic opioids must be investigated and prosecuted as criminal homicide cases.
We call for mandatory sentencing for all violent crimes, especially crimes committed against
those charged with protecting us. We call for the examination of mandatory sentencing for
non-violent crimes to ensure fairness and justice.

5. We support the diversion of first-time, nonviolent offenders to community sentencing,

accountability courts, drug courts, veteran treatment courts, and guidance by faith-based
institutions with proven track records of rehabilitation. We call for the examination of
mandatory sentencing for non-violent crimes to ensure fairness and justice in its application.

6. We believe the state must protect the rights of victims and their families, including collaborative
efforts that provide for restorative justice. Criminal justice reforms that rehabilitate former
offenders to become contributing members of society are applauded, including re-entry
support such as transitional housing and employment for recently released inmates.

7. Millions of lives are destroyed by predatory criminals that exploit children or other innocents via
the internet or in person. We deplore child sexual abuse materials, sex and human trafficking,
and the abduction, abuse, and exploitation of children. . We denounce domestic violence.
Governments must protect innocent persons from all forms of modern slavery, abuse and
sexual exploitation. .

8. Prisons should focus on security, education, rehabilitation, and labor. Public officials must regain
control of their correctional institutions so that every inmate is protected against cruel or
degrading treatment. We encourage opportunities for literacy, vocational education, and
substance abuse counseling to prepare prisoners for release into the community.

9. We support tort reform, including a cap on awards for pain and suffering, and structured
payments of awards for lost income.

6
ARTICLE IV. SANCTITY OF LIFE

1. We believe in the sanctity of all human life. Unborn children have constitutional rights to life
and liberty and, the government must respect and protect all innocent human life from
conception to natural death.

2. We are the Party that offers real solutions for women. We have a moral obligation to assist
women who face unexpected pregnancies and applaud organizations that empower women
with compassionate, life-affirming resources and care.

3. We support legislation that identifies and closes enforcement loopholes in existing statutes to
better protect children in the womb.

4. We oppose infanticide and urge the enactment of laws to require medical care for babies who
survive abortions.

5. We oppose efforts to mandate the provision of abortion or to fund with taxpayer dollars
organizations that provide or promote abortion services. School based health clinics, public and
private, should not provide referrals, counseling and related services for abortion and
contraception.

6. We support requiring mandatory counseling before an abortion to ensure the pregnant woman
knows all options and resources available to her and her baby including information about the
possibility of reversing the intended effects of chemical abortion drugs.

7. We support the right of medical professionals to refuse to participate in abortions. We support

the right of pharmacists to refuse to dispense abortion inducing drugs. We believe that state
funded institutions should not provide abortion training.

8. We oppose all forms of euthanasia and assisted suicide, which often target persons with
disabilities, the elderly and infirm. We believe these individuals should be treated with love and
respect, not as a burden. We also oppose basing the denial of life saving treatments on a
perceived quality of life. We support legislation prohibiting assisted suicide.

9. We support developments in biomedical research that enhance and protect human life,
including stem cell research. We oppose human cloning and the destruction of human embryos.

10. We support criminal penalties for harming or killing an unborn child when the mother is killed
or injured in a criminal act.

11. We support laws which require written, notarized parental consent for an abortion and/or
contraceptives for their minor children.

12. We oppose the sale, purchase, possession, or use of fetal tissue or body parts obtained from
induced abortions.

7
ARTICLE V. STATE GOVERNMENT

1. We believe that in a free society, power should rest in the hands of the people. We believe in a
limited government which serves the people, rather than one that burdens them.

2. We affirm three distinct and equal branches of government with a system of checks and
balances. No branch shall usurp the powers of any other branch, except those provided by the
State Constitution. The Governor's emergency powers which impact the rights of citizens should
only be used with the consultation and approval of the Council of State.

3. We believe that government at all levels should not spend money it does not have and avoid
passing on debts to future generations.

4. Government retirement and pension plans should be privately owned and portable.

5. We oppose unfunded state mandates, including state mandated local property tax exemptions
for a particular type of business. We oppose excessive regulation of commerce and industry by
either statute or administrative rule and support sunset provisions that require reauthorization
for a business regulatory statute or rule to continue in force.

6. No State funds should be spent without an explicit appropriation. We oppose “slush funds” as
rewards for political support. Raiding of dedicated funds should not be allowed except in an
emergency as determined by law. Every bill heard in committee should receive a recorded vote.
The budget bill should be made public at least two legislative days before the final vote in each
house. To assure transparency, every committee substitute to a pending bill should be
scheduled in committee and on the floor in a manner that gives citizens sufficient notice to
communicate with their legislators about the bill.

7. We support the issuance of a driver’s license or state identification card only to those who are
lawful residents of the United States.

8. We affirm that the State of North Carolina is prohibited from taking discriminatory action
against a person based on a religious or moral conviction.

9. We support efforts to ensure that habitual drug users are not on public assistance. We believe
that drug tests are appropriate if there is a reasonable suspicion of illegal drug use.

10. We affirm that law enforcement should honor detainers for illegal aliens held on criminal
charges.

8
ARTICLE VI. HEALTH CARE

1. We support the transformation of the health care industry to one which champions patient
choice and increases cost transparency and competition. Businesses should respect the dignity
and rights of conscience of their workers to make their own health care decisions.

2. We strongly oppose a single payer or government health system. We support competitive, free
market private and employer-based health insurance models, in which the citizens of NC can
purchase and participate in their health care, including the choice of services and providers.

3. We support equal access to high quality, public and private health care regardless of location,
race, age, or economic status.

4. We support reasonable and responsive public health measures and policies to better address
issues such as infectious diseases, addictions and mental health.

5. We value the concept of preventative health care measures and their insurance coverage.

6. We support addressing the serious need for quality, trained direct caregivers for our state’s
most vulnerable citizens. We support standards for the training and certification of caregivers
and gerontology professionals along with guidelines for staffing standards.

7. We strongly oppose the socialistic practice of denying diagnostics and treatment to our state’s
senior citizens.

8. We oppose the use of public funds for transgender surgeries and/or treatments.

9. We support a ban on transgender surgeries or treatments for persons under 18 years of age.

10. We support preserving Medicaid’s original design which provides publicly funded medical
assistance for the poor, with a focus on dependent children and their mothers, the disabled and
the elderly.

11. We support eliminating the state’s Certificate of Need programs on the basis that they stifle
competition, increase consumer health care costs, limit health care investment in our state and
negatively impact health outcomes.

12. We urge legislators to enact policies that support compassionate, home-based care for
individuals with profound intellectual, physical and mental disabilities.

13. We support conscience protection measures for healthcare workers in situations such as—but
not limited to—abortion and transgender surgeries and treatments.

14. We support reforming the state’s mental health system. The needs of patients must be the
priority. This includes diagnoses, comprehensive care, follow up and stiff penalties for those
who abuse or exploit patients.
9
ARTICLE VII. EDUCATION

1. We support an educational system that provides all children access to an education that
empowers them to reach their highest, God-given potential, allowing them to contribute to the
betterment of our society. A North Carolina high school diploma should fully prepare students
to enter college, technical school, or the workforce.

2. We believe education policies and budget decisions are best made by local and state
governments, rather than national agencies, to ensure that North Carolina students graduate
with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today’s global economy. The people of
North Carolina support the highest, most rigorous educational standards that are developed
through legislation by the NC General Assembly. All standards and reforms should aim to
improve student achievement.

3. We support English as the official language of the United States. Therefore, we support the
expedited use of English as a Second Language in the classroom as an assimilation tool.

4. Parents have the right to expect excellent public education. Parents also have the right and
responsibility to direct their children’s education, while students have the obligation to learn.
Allowing choice and competition in education drives all schools towards quality outcomes. We
applaud the expansion of vocational curricula and parent choice in North Carolina. We support
maintaining and expanding opportunity scholarships and education savings accounts that
support the education of children with disabilities and open doors for students in need. All
education dollars for grades K-12 dispersed by the state should follow the student to whatever
education choice is made by the parents; be it public, charter, or private.

5. We urge the NC General Assembly to enact legislation guaranteeing parental rights over sex and
health education in NC. Parents must have access to all curricula and data about their children,
including content that is stored electronically. Schools should not ask children to answer
offensive or intrusive personal questionnaires without parental consent. We oppose sex
education in public schools without parental consent. Public schools should not be permitted to
teach children about homosexual behavior and gender identity. No birth control devices or
drugs should be distributed in public schools. We support teaching abstinence until marriage as
the expected norm for sexual behavior. Biological males should not be allowed to participate in
women’s sports.

6. We applaud the Republican led North Carolina General Assembly for consistently increasing
teacher pay. Teacher compensation should be based on evaluations and market conditions.
Teacher evaluations should be based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
educational training, job longevity, administration-based performance measures, and student
achievement.

7. We support teaching civil liberties and patriotism as an important part of becoming a good
citizen. We support regular recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, displays of the American and
North Carolina State flag, and use of our national motto “In God We Trust”. Curricula must
include civics so that students will be prepared to vote as informed citizens. We oppose
10
 curriculum that seeks to divide students based on race or gender. Instead, curricula should
promote the unity of all students around American values such as liberty, justice, and
opportunity for all, and should encourage students to join together against all forms of
oppression and injustice.

8. We believe in religious freedom, which is inherent to the dignity of the individual, and support
the right of students and faculty to pray in school without censorship, as well as the respect for
all religions. Schools should revitalize the Judeo-Christian values of Western civilization and
teach American Exceptionalism.

9. We encourage both state and federal governments to help prospective students understand the
real costs of lending and allow students to discharge their debts according to market principles.
We support economic assistance for students that comes from both private and public sources
using market lending principles.

10. We applaud the efforts of the Republican led General Assembly in supporting community
colleges, as these colleges truly open doors and remove barriers to accessible, high-quality
education for all citizens. Community colleges play a vital role in developing our workforce and
they provide much needed basic literacy programs, vocational training, and university transfer
options for students from all walks of life.

11. We believe it is a requirement of the state and county Boards of Education to ensure all schools
provide a safe learning environment. Schools should provide a level of security which protects
students and faculty from harm, consistent with the 2nd Amendment of the United States
Constitution.

11
ARTICLE VIII. ECONOMY, JOBS and OPPORTUNITY

1. Free-market capitalism is the most just economic system. It unleashes the human spirit to
pursue happiness, create wealth, and own property; it also rewards self-reliance, hard work,
and spurs innovation and generosity to improve lives.

2. We urge reforms when government over-regulation results in inflated prices for businesses and
consumers.

3. Equal application of economic policies ensures equal opportunities for all.

4. We support a federal and state balanced budget.

5. Economic freedom is essential to human liberty and dignity. The North Carolina Constitution
recognizes that people’s “inalienable rights” include the “enjoyment of the fruits of their own
labor.” We believe in lower taxes to give people more freedom over their lives and to retrain the
impulse of government toward tyranny and control.

6. Our nation's economic security depends on reliable and affordable energy. We should have
energy sources that people can depend on to light and heat their homes. We support upgrading
our energy grid and securing our energy infrastructure. We must avoid dependence on energy
from foreign powers.

7. We support expansion of reliable sources of energy such as nuclear power, oil and natural gas,
and coal. We support safe and reliable delivery of energy.

8. We must eliminate government-mandated quotas and massive taxpayer subsidies for solar and
wind energy. Wind and solar require expensive transmission and infrastructure upgrades to
support these intermittent power resources.

9. We recognize the serious economic warfare and strategic threats posed by communist China.
We support de-coupling our economy from China and revoking its most-favored-nation status.

10. We believe in free trade which helps North Carolina businesses sell their products in the global
marketplace. However, we also support the federal government’s use of free trade enforcement
mechanisms to level the playing field when unfair tariff and non-tariff barriers are found which
harm our interests.

11. We believe that strategic products, materials, and rare earth minerals should be sourced from
or made in America.

12. We support free and fair trade with America’s allies for North Carolina industries that seek to
grow their export business. We support agriculture, agribusiness, and commercial fishing as
driving forces in North Carolina’s economy. We support legislation to protect farmland and
these industries from foreign ownership and burdensome regulations.

12
 13. We strongly affirm North Carolina right-to-work laws which designate that payment of union
dues or fees cannot be a requirement for employment and support any and all efforts to
guarantee protections for North Carolina as a right-to-work state.

14. We oppose any initiative by the Federal Reserve or our federal government to create a digital
currency which would dangerously expand the surveillance state and it’s means to police
persons based on social or other criteria.

ARTICLE IX. THE ENVIRONMENT

1. As we are stewards of our God-given natural heritage, we have a duty to protect the earth’s
resources.

2. We support reasonable measures to keep our air, water, and soil free of substances that harm
the health of our people as well as that of domestic animals and wildlife. We support the
maintenance of adequate wildlife habitat.

3. We support a robust system of local, state and national parks to give our citizens access to
nature.

4. We recognize that the theories of global warming and climate change are subject to scientific
debate. We urge that both sides of this debate listen and engage with respect, and that drastic
action that would raise energy costs and impair our citizens’ quality of life not be undertaken
without careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of scientific data.

ARTICLE X. ELECTIONS

1. The Elections Clause of the US Constitution is the primary source of constitutional authority to
regulate elections and appoints states at the primary regulatory authority for the election
process. Election laws and policies should ensure honesty and accuracy in all elections.

2. A free society demands an honest and accurate election process. Our laws and policies at every
level of government should ensure that elections are conducted with absolute fairness and
integrity, regardless of party registration, race, or socio-economic resources. Every vote should
count and not be canceled out by illegal votes.

3. We support legislation requiring election judges at all election sites, including early voting sites.
Poll observers should be allowed at every polling place and placed in a position that enables
thorough observation. The rights of voters should be equally protected regardless of voting
method.

4. We support enforced statewide procedures for updating voter rolls to ensure accuracy.

13
 5. Current laws regarding absentee voting should be analyzed and tightened to ensure ballot
security. The rights of all voters should be equally protected regardless of voting method.

6. We encourage election officials to report–and state and federal prosecutors to promptly

investigate and prosecute–voter and election fraud.

7. We support the Electoral College as the Constitutional mode of electing our President and
oppose all efforts to abolish it, as a national popular vote would be a grave threat to our federal
system.

8. We support state efforts to ensure ballot access for the elderly, the disabled, military personnel,
and all legitimate voters. We support laws with strict requirements regarding the postmark and
return of absentee ballots by election date except as otherwise required by federal law.

9. We reaffirm our support of Voter ID and oppose the reinstatement of straight-ticket voting.
Proof of citizenship should be required when registering to vote.

10. Voters should have timely information on candidates’ campaign finances. We oppose funding
election campaigns with public or foreign funds.

11. Neither the State Board of Elections nor the county boards of elections have the authority to
accept private monetary donations for the purpose of administering elections or employing
individuals on a temporary basis.

ARTICLE XI. FEDERAL POLICY

1. The US Constitution is the supreme law of this land. As such, it outlines the foundational
principles of this great nation. These principles include a legislature which creates laws, an
executive who enforces laws, and a judiciary which interprets laws. To this end, we support the
separation of powers and all efforts to maintain independent branches of government, based
on a strict interpretation of the constitution’s original intent.

2. We call on Congress, the President, and the courts to abide by Article I, Section 8 of the United
States Constitution and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, which were added to order to
protect the rights of the States and the people. We oppose encroachment upon all powers that
the Constitution has reserved to the States or to the people. Based on the Constitution and the
intent of the Founding Fathers, we oppose statehood for the District of Columbia.

3. Secure borders and strong enforcement of immigration laws are essential to America’s
sovereignty, security, and national identity. Our citizens deserve to live peacefully without fear
of criminal illegal alien activity, depressed wages and job opportunities, and over-burdened
public resources.

14
4. Membership in treaties and organizations should never dilute our sovereign right to govern or
interfere in our electoral process. We oppose attempts by foreign governments and
international organizations to infringe on our sovereignty.

4. A republican form of government is the foundation of freedom. We support the Electoral

College as the constitutional mode of electing our President. We oppose tyranny in all of its
forms.

5. Opposition to slavery is the foundation for the Republican Party. We oppose slavery, including
human trafficking, in any form both foreign and domestic.

6. National security is one of the first and most important roles of government. We support a
foreign policy of peace through strength that is accomplished with a strong military with the full
gratitude and resources of the United States.

7. We believe in a robust defense and foreign policy that promotes democracy, freedom of religion
and free market economic systems around the world. We believe in mutual cooperation with
our nation’s allies through NATO and other military and economic alliances that serve as
deterrents to America’s and our allies’ enemies, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and
any other power that threatens our nation and our allies.

8. We oppose granting of permanent resident status for those who, by breaking the immigration
laws, undermine the integrity of those who have adhered to them. Providing amnesty solely
serves to incentivize further breaches of the law. Employers should exclusively hire individuals
authorized to work legally in the United States.

9. We support advocacy for policies that uphold Israel as a sovereign nation, affirming its right to
self-defense and recognizing its borders without conditions. Furthermore, we acknowledge
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

10. We support free market solutions for societal issues, which provide the most efficient use of our
resources. We support an individual's ability to choose market-based solutions to retirement,
health care and insurance, worker's rights or any goods.

11. We support the principle of a “sound money” policy to sustain a stable US currency. The
Comptroller General of the General Office of Accounting must perform an annual accounting of
the Federal Reserve to ensure its transparency and accountability.

12. We support policies protecting all innocent human life, and therefore we oppose government
efforts promoting abortion and infanticide. We support actions that prohibit the distribution of
federal funds to any organization that promotes or provides abortions.

13. We are free because of those who have answered the call to serve. Our nation’s veterans have
been our nation’s strength and remain a national resource. America has a sacred trust with our
veterans, and we are committed to ensuring their and their families’ care and dignity.

15
 CONCLUSION

Thomas Jefferson said that "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance". We, the North Carolina
Republican Party, are committed to remaining vigilant as we stand guard to protect the
freedoms we hold dear. Ronald Reagan stated that a strong Republican Party is like a stool that
stands on three legs: strong defense, free enterprise, and strong moral values. Together, we will
turn back the tide of socialism and preserve our nation as a beacon of liberty, hope, and
opportunity for all.
