09 Scorecard A1

The United Republican Fund is Illinois' oldest, independent, Republican organization. Founded in 1934, the URF is a statewide network of thou-sands of Illinoisans, from all walks of life, who believe that prosperity and opportunity come through economic and personal freedom. Our mission is to advance conservative Republican principles, policies, and people by equipping and electing to office men and women who endorse and promote the Republican values of limited and ethical government, individual freedom and responsibility, free markets and traditional American values.

LIMITED GOVERNMENT

Illinoisans deserve a government that is fis-cally responsible. Waste, fraud and duplication in government must be eliminated. Public debt, except for infrastructure, should be

avoided. Government budgets should fit within existing revenues. Spending reductions, not tax increases, are the preferred solutions to revenue shortfalls.

Taxation should be restricted to the most minimal levels, and the burden of taxation should be spread as equally as possible among Illinois citizens. Taxation should never be employed for the purposes of redistributing wealth or re-stricting productivity, economic growth, or savings.

Government policy should encourage self-sufficiency and promote the work ethic among Illinoisans. Public funds should not be used to support persons who are capable, albeit unwilling, to provide for their own needs. Govern-ment welfare programs should strive to elevate the dignity of the individual, strengthen families, and encourage self-sufficiency.

LIFT/URF | LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 1

TRADITIONAL VALUES

Representative democracy cannot proceed or survive simply by inertia; instead it must be fed by ethical people who are engaged in the political process and who share the values nec-

essary for such a government to thrive.

Therefore, traditional American values must be preserved and impressed upon each generation. Duty, honor and love of country are some of those values. Equally impor-tant are justice, equality before the law, hard work, humil-ity, charity, integrity, and courage.

The family is the foundation of society. Consequently, the state should encourage its formation and interfere in its function as little as possible. Family inter-dependency is essential for long-term national stability. Hence marriage is intended to be a permanent relationship between one man and one woman, and the basis for strong families.

Human life is sacred and inviolable from conception to natural death. Protection for the unborn and elderly, and compassion for the sick and infirm, are essential elements of all healthy societies.

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY

Laws restrict the free exercise of liberty and property. Consequently, no law should be passed unless there is a compelling reason to do so. The proponents of any law should have

the burden of proof that passage is necessary.

The rights of an individual should include, but not be lim-ited to, those rights guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States. They should also include those God-given rights of freedom, not specified in any written document, which necessarily exist in a nation where the individual is more important than the state. Conversely, these rights should not negate the responsibil-ity of the individual's obligation to conduct himself as a responsible and productive member of society.

All citizens are entitled to security of their persons and property. Government's primary task is the maintenance of law and order to ensure these rights are protected. Ac-cordingly, the system of justice must afford each person access to competent representation and a level playing field to ensure the imperatives of justice can be met.

FREE ENTERPRISE

Through free markets, individuals and groups form relationships and exercise self-government. The state should only intervene to establish minimum health and safety stan-

dards, and encourage competition. When the government does choose to use its power to regulate free people, it should be exceedingly cautious to use the least burden-some method possible.

As individuals have the right to choose in free market systems, and are vested with the responsibility to inform themselves and make choices that best suit their needs. While government should actively enforce fraud statutes, it should not attempt to protect the public from what it perceives as poor choices by eliminating those possibili-ties from the market.

Private property is the cornerstone of a free nation. There-fore, communal needs should override private property rights only in the most convincing circumstances - not merely for the sake of convenience. In those instances when a compelling need does exist, property owners should be justly compensated for their loss.

This scorecard reflects key votes that convey state lawmakers’ views on the URF’s four L·I·F·T principles:

The United Republican Fund is proud to recognize those Illinois State Representatives that have demonstrated leadership in defense of limited government, individual freedom, free markets and traditional American values. Representatives with a lifetime or 2009 rating of 75% or higher are, without question, champions of the LIFT principles, and statesmen in the Land of Lincoln.
