Members belong to make a difference. To keep America free and safe for our children. There are so many intelligent, caring women who belong, working together to help keep our country the great Republic that it is.

We help elect candidates who reflect the viewpoints of smaller government, lower taxes, and fewer regulations. Those candidates who feel that they serve the people and not that the people serve the government. We meet candidates and office holders "up close and personal".

We listen as they deliver their thoughts and ideas. We study issues and take stands on them. Many of our members run for political office, from the local level to the National level.

We are concerned about the education of our children, and have a large volunteer program to help children to become all they can be. Children are 100% of our future, and we subscribe to President Bush's program, "No Child Left Behind".

A favorite of headline writers, GOP dates back to the 1870s and '80s. The abbreviation was cited in a New York Herald story on October 15,1884; "' The G.O.P. Doomed,' shouted the Boston Post.... The Grand Old Party is in condition to inquire...

But what GOP stands for has changed with the times. In 1875 there was a citation in the Congressional Record referring to "this gallant old party," and according to Harper's Weekly, in the Cincinnati Commercial in 1876 to "Grand Old Party."

In early motorcar days, GOP took on the term "get out and push." During the 1964 presidential campaign, "Go-Party" was used briefly, and during the Nixon Administration, frequent references to the "generation of peace" had happy overtones. In line with moves in the '70s to modernize the party, Republican leaders took to referring the "grand old party," harkening back to a 1971 speech by President Nixon at the dedication of the Eisenhower Republican Center in Washington, D.C.

Indeed, the "grand old party" is an ironic term, since the Democrat Party was organized some 22 years earlier in 1832. Resource: www.rnc.org

The largest all woman volunteer political organization in the nation, with about 100,000 members nationally.

Most of our members belong to other organizations--church groups, bridge clubs, garden clubs, civic organizations, to name just a few. The Federation is one organization where you can get political information on a consistent basis.

An associate membership is also granted to Republican men, including husbands of members, interested in the success of the Republican Party. Cost of such membership is set by the individual unit clubs. If you are interested in joining as an associate member of a local unit please submit our join form and someone will contact you.
