Pam Blakeman,
Elected Chair 2023-2024
Welcome to the Clallam County Republican Party!
My name is Pam Blakeman, Chair of the Clallam County Republican Party (CCRP). I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us as we work to elect individuals who will represent us at all levels of government, with a focus on Clallam County. We believe grassroots efforts are the best way to bring us knowledgeable candidates who will govern with integrity.
We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our local Republican Party. Read our bylaws, our platform from 2020, and our position on issues. But more importantly, take a look at WHO we are. CCRP is full of diverse backgrounds and diverse thinkers, but who treasure free speech and thought. Your ideas are welcome. We pursue “One Nation”. We recognize ourselves as “Under God” so moral integrity is a priority. We offer education and guidance for those who want to become involved.
The CCRP usually meets the first Thursday of every month at 6:30pm at our headquarters. We invite you to stop by, say hi, and take a moment to let us know what you think. I think you will like what you hear and see.
Hope to see you soon!
We the People!
CELEBRATE OUR CONSTITUTION!
Life. Liberty. Freedom. Prosperity.
Did you know…
More than one in three Americans (37%) could not name a single right protected by the First Amendment?
Only one in four (26%) can name all three branches of the government?
One in three (33%) can’t name any branch of government?
Read and teach our US and State Constitutions – if we don’t know what our rights are, how will we be able to protect them?
As President James Madison stated in his 1810 State of the Union message to Congress, “a well-informed people alone can be permanently a free people.”
President Andrew Jackson made the same point in his 1837 farewell address: “But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.”
President Ronald Reagan stated: “Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.”
ARTICLE I – DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
SECTION 1 POLITICAL POWER.
All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.

THE MISSION OF THE CLALLAM COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
Recognizing that constitutionally limited government and moral integrity are essential to the preservation of individual liberty and social responsibility,
OUR MISSION is to:

B. Reduce the burden of government on individual citizens, families, and the economy by spending and regulatory reforms that reduce government’s size and cost and regulatory oversight; and
C. Encourage citizens of good character who share the goals and principles stated in this platform to seek elected office, actively support their candidacies, continue to support and encourage them once they take office, and actively participate in the public process to influence government policies.

Homelessness is a growing issue
In 2017, The Guardian published an article titled “Bussed out – How America moves its homeless”
“Each year, US cities give thousands of homeless people one-way bus tickets out of town. An 18-month nationwide investigation by the Guardian reveals, for the first time, what really happens at journey’s end”

Thoughts from Our Founders…
“Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands.”
“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.”
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
