About CCR
The California Congress of Republicans (CCR) was founded in 1989
as a mainstream conservative, grassroots volunteer organization. We are
officially chartered as part of the California Republican Party (CRP).
Working within the
CRP framework, CCR stresses the inclusion of divergent views among Republicans.
We agree with Ronald Reagan: If we agree with each other 80 percent of the time,
we should overcome the 20 percent of disagreement. We strive to INCLUDE (not
exclude) all Republicans, and we extend our appeal to independent voters. We are
the natural volunteer home for most Republicans in California and we are a
strong recruiter for others to join our party.
The CCR philosophy
is based on core Republican values: individual responsibility, personal
freedoms, limited government, a market economy, low taxes, and strong national
defense. We don’t play politics with personal and religious social issues,
leaving those to the practice of personal freedoms.
We endorse our
favorite candidates in primary elections on the local, state and national
levels. We support ALL Republican nominees in general elections. Our endorsees
are the kind of mainstream Republicans who win general elections. Our endorsees
have the highest winning record in general elections of any Republican endorsing
group. That’s why our endorsement is highly valued by primary candidates. In
order to get our endorsement, a candidate must win at least two thirds of the
delegate votes at our endorsing conventions. Local chapters get together to
endorse in local and regional races.
Our party’s greatest
strength is in its grassroots members. That’s why CCR operates from the bottom
up. Members choose our leaders, set our policies and vote on endorsements. Our
state Board of Directors is dominated by elected leaders from the local
chapters.
Members are not
constantly harassed to send money to anybody. Pay your annual dues (which are
kept very low), and the rest is up to you. We value work above money.
