Basic Republican Principles (Thanks to WSU College Republicans}

From its inception in 1854 and from its earliest stands against the oppressive institution of slavery, the Republican Party has defined itself as the protector of individual freedom. Today, 140 years later, we, of the WSU College Republicans, reaffirm our commitment as Republicans in the cause of freedom and liberty. And we redirect our course back to the basic tenets of our common Republican philosophy--a philosophy which includes among its components:

A Belief in Smaller Government: To preserve the sanctity of liberty of the individual, it is our belief that government must necessarily be limited. Otherwise, the paternalism of the few would restrict the freedom of the many to decide what is best for themselves.
Support of the Federalist System of Government: To bring power closer to the people, it is imperative we restrict the growth of a centralized federal government....States ought to have the power to determine which programs and measures would be most appropriate and fitting for them.
Fiscal Conservatism: In keeping with our desires for the greatest individual liberty, we support policies of limited taxation and government spending.
Strong National Defense: We believe the best way to preserve the peace and protect our national interests abroad comes through a strong national defense.
Individual Liberties and Responsibilities: Along with individual liberties come individual responsibilities and duties. Government must act to preserve freedom, while individuals must exercise their responsibilities to preserve order.
Tolerance, Inclusiveness, and Optimism: We believe in the right of fellow Republicans to disagree on certain matters of principle and policy. We believe in being an open and inclusive party respectful of different points of view. We are indeed a "big-tent" party that offers no "litmus tests" or barriers to entry.

Remimder to all Brookfield Republicans

Your help is needed in making sure we have as many registered Republicans on the town roles as possible. The upcoming elections for town, state and federal offices are very important to the future of this country and to all concerned citizens. Please remind your friends and neighbors that it is important to register to vote and, most, importantly, to register as a Republican. You can get a copy of the voter registration form by clicking on the following link: http://www.ct.gov/sots/LIB/sots/ElectionServices/ElectForms/electforms/ed671.pdf

Copies of the registration form are also available from the town hall and any BRTC member.

 

 

The 2012 Proposed Charter Revisions -
What every Brookfield resident should know

Every five years a town must form a Charter Revision Commission to examine the Town Charter (Brookfield’s governing document) and potentially recommend changes that are ultimately considered by the voters of Brookfield in an open referendum.  A vote on changes will be included with this Presidential Election ballot on November 6, 2012.  The Brookfield Republican Town Committee (“BRTC”) unanimously opposes the currently proposed Charter Revisions, the two largest of which are set forth below.

Town Manager – VOTE NO
The Charter Revision Commission proposes Brookfield’s government be run by a hired Town Manager, instead of a First Selectman, who is directly elected by and accountable to, all Brookfield voters

  • The BRTC firmly believes the voters of Brookfield should hire and fire the person running town government every 2 years and the proposed town manager will make the chief executive a step removed from direct employment by voters.  Like a Superintendent of Schools, the town manager would be subject to a contract - it would be difficult and expensive to fire them if there was a problem.
  • The BRTC believes voters are intelligent and capable enough to elect a First Selectman and vote him/her out of office if they do not perform.
  • The First Selectman has the ability under the current charter to empower town employees and take initiative. We don't need to replace the First Selectman with a Town Manager to make Town Hall run better.  It's well known and documented: towns with town managers drop in voter turnout.  We should encourage public participation, not diminish it.

5 Member Board of Selectmen – VOTE NO
The Charter Revision Commission has proposed Brookfield’s Board of Selectmen should be increased from 3 to 5 members, a change voters overwhelmingly defeated in 1997 and 2007

  • The proposal to go from 3 to 5 Selectmen increases the size and cost of government.
  • The BRTC believes a 5-member Board of Selectmen will promote secretive town government by allowing the First Selectmen to conduct business with each of the other 4 Selectmen behind closed doors, influencing them privately to support his proposal, then limiting any debate or discussion in a meeting open to the public.
  • As Brookfield voters have confirmed twice, the 3 Selectmen model has served Brookfield well over the years.  No emergency or situation so severe has come up that compels a change.

  • Who we are: The Brookfield Republican Town Committee has 25 members elected by all 3,600 Brookfield Republicans and works to recruit, endorse, and elect Republican candidates at all levels of our government and promotes activities that raise funds to support the election of endorsed candidates.

    The Brookfield Republican Town Committee regularly meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:30 PM.  Check the web site and Facebook page for varying locations.  ALL BROOKFIELD REPUBLICANS WELCOME.
