GREAT STATE OF SAN ANDREAS GRAND OLD PARTY
Fighting for your liberty to craft your own American Dream in a free society.
Welcome to the official website of the San Andreas Grand Old Party, which is commonly known as the Republican Party.
We believe in a prosperous, safe and working San Andreas and in a strong and free United States - and we have proven that more than once. The Republican Party is one of the world's oldest extant political parties, second oldest existing party in the U.S. It emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas–Nebraska Act, an act that dissolved the terms of the Missouri Compromise and allowed slave or free status to be decided in the territories by popular sovereignty.
The Republican Party has historically championed classical liberal ideas, including anti-slavery and economic reforms - being made of hard working Americans who believed in true American ideals. Promoting the growth of businesses and protecting factory workers and farmers from any harm.
We are confident in the future of San Andreas and strongly retain the view that under a Republican majority, the great people of San Andreas can do better under a thriving economy. It is our view that the State must serve all citizens and protect individual liberties and rights.
We are committed to serving the public and to serve the State to the best of our abilities in an honest and transparent government.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN SAN ANDREAS
SAGOP's platform aims to boost the economy of San Andreas and to provide a safer home for its residents.
The Republican Party has always been present in San Andreas, although it only became a strong player within the politics of San Andreas in 2016 - with former Senator.
Barrett S. Johnson, Alfis Smith and Francis Underhill echoing its platform within the San Andreas State Senate. Later on, Los Santos elected Francis Underhill to serve as Mayor - in what was an astonishing landslide against candidates Gareth Keswick (D) and Brandon Daubney (I). In addition, Larry Rauner of the Republican Party was elected Governor of San Andreas.
Following the years after party legends like Frank Underhill quit, the SAGOP influence on State and City politics dwindled, that until Dr. Hosea Halliday became Chairman in 2024 following a massive internal sweep of the party.
Now sworn in as the Secretary of State for the State of San Andreas, Hosea Halliday's internal reforms brought the GOP back to the helm, currently, the Republican Party maintains a majority within the Legislative Branch of San Andreas and its representatives continue to fight for liberty and justice for all.
-OUR VIEWS-
The Economy:
One of the main ideologies of the San Andreas Grand Old Party is the freedom of personal economy. Once attributed a chance, an initiative grows larger and larger resulting in progress for the better. Our infrastructure implies cutting taxes, reducing government expenses and more so stimulating and sparking the economy instead of having continuous government mediation. The freedom of market implies the notion that the people of our state come in focus and they are the ones who call their own decisions, not the government.
The government is to assure a free market and economy, more so with business expansion and employment rates being crucial to the development of the two. The people of the state overtake and the government oversees; so is in the best interest of an ideal free market. The taxes and fees currently imposed on the people are high and the government is unnecessarily spending lavishly.
We strongly believe that the citizens of San Andreas are not accountable even in the slightest for the lack of fiscal accountability, which unfortunately leads to reject tax burdens on the taxpayers themselves. That's you who comes at a disadvantage.
We support more reasonable work requirements for welfare recipients who are willing to work and do so; and ending those benefits for those who refuse to work. Licensing fees applied upon businesses can be seen as an impediment, and we support the notion of making those affordable and to be within reasonable prices, accessible to the public.
Employment and Jobs
Unemployment is at an all-time high, and our society is turning to the government for aid in job opportunities. As per our stance on a free market and economy, we support small business and we promote international competition. By doing so, economic growth is more prone to occur and new jobs will appear. We are believers of the ideology that the least involvement that the government has in one's occupation, the more it will help foster low employment rates.
With a modest amount of intervention, the government should ideally provide resources in order to feed the economy and ensure adequate growth within our society.
Private Sectors:
A private sector for healthcare all around the state is a necessity. Those ran by the state have a lower rate of efficiency and reach sub-par standards of care, compromising healthcare all around the state. The same issue strains the services which leads to obscene waiting times, which simultaneously takes its toll on emergency services.
Those are fundamental requirements of our society, and having them malfunction to such a level is unacceptable for the people. Healthcare needs to be made readily available, be it private or public; and the people of San Andreas are encouraged to take the initiative and do so with the aid of private clinics and companies.
Simultaneously, the private housing sector needs improvement. The government is to sell plots of land to housing architects and developers and to allow them to manage additional housing complexes. The implementation of affordable housing solutions with cheaper rent and a better standard is one of our goals.
Private sectors altogether can act as a safety net for those less financially fortunate to afford reasonable solutions for their needs, whichever they may be. We oppose any form of state monopoly which can be considered to even actually constitute a form of socialized medicine.
Veteran Support:
The San Andreas Grand Old Party supports all veterans of the United States. Thanks to them, we are able to call ourselves a free country. After their continuous efforts and aid in keeping our country free and serving it with their lives, it is now our task to support them in their life as now regular citizens of the state. We plan on securing job programs, housing assistance, retirement and health plans for veterans of our country.
We could never fully repay the brave men and women who put their lives on the lane for the sole purpose of representing our country in all that is good. Our heroes deserve the best health care and treatments possible, for if it weren't for them to step up? Who would have? In a time of war and despair, only true heroes arise and those deserve the utmost respect.
The Right to Bear Arms:
We strongly uphold the right of individuals to own and bear arms, a right fortified by the Second Amendment. We fully acknowledge and support the God-given right of self-defense which every law-abiding citizen should have. We recognize the protection of individual rights and more so the responsibility to safely use and store firearms.
The Republican Party of San Andreas is fully supportive of the Constitution and more so the Second Amendment, and we further encourage it. As it stands, the gun laws in San Andreas have a worrying emphasis on disarming our law-abiding citizens and not the criminals of the state. We oppose any further legislation or restrictions imposed against the liberty of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms, as is correct by their rights.
The Right to Life:
The Grand Old Party of San Andreas is pro-life, believing that that life roots from the very notion, coming to an end at the time natural death. Tax-payer funded and underage abortions are to be prevented without the consent of parents or the carers. Every child deserves a healthy and proper life in order to prosper and further give life on to others. In total, we support adoption over abortion and plan on simplifying the process of adoption and making it more accessible.
Preventing Crime:
We believe that the State of San Andreas is to be more stern on crime punishment. Longer times should be applied upon repeat offenders, and those who are notorious criminals are to be rightfully punished as well. The Courts should be issued instructions on issuing harsher punishments, and this does not only serve as a method of prevention. Crime within a civilized society is unacceptable and is to not be treated lightly for those who willingly choose to not abide by the law.
As such, criminals belong behind the bars, where they can not harm the public. We are thus supportive of mandatory sentencing for gang crimes, violent or sexual offenses against children, and violent repeat offenders. The Courts should more frequently have the opportunity to impose the death penalty in murder cases. More so, we oppose parole or probation solutions for dangerous and repeat felons with no salvation in sight.
To achieve this, specific deterrents are required. Undeniably, the best way to deter crime is to enforce and emphasize existing laws and to toughen penalties against those who commit violent crimes or those involving firearms. Legislation for the death penalty, restitution to victims, removal of criminal aliens, and vigilance against terrorism are all within our agenda.
