Pro Libertas. Pro Texana.

YCT is committed to the idea of "Principle Over Party". Young Conservatives of Texas members are driven by conservative principles and are dedicated to promoting them throughout the state. A true federation, the chapter organizations maintain great autonomy and fight liberal advancement on their own campuses by whatever means they deem appropriate. On the state level, YCT members engage in four aspects of grassroots politics: endorsements, campaigns, lobbying and ratings.

Statement of Principles:

We, as Young Conservatives of Texas, dedicate ourselves to the preservation of the American Dream and a strong and free America. To this end, we hereby affirm:

* That the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution embody the spirit of the United States and her people;

* That the Declaration of Independence, reflecting the combined wisdom of its authors, recognizes the freedom of an individual as inherited from one sovereign God;

* That this freedom must not be violated by institutions established by or presided over by men;

* That the Constitution clearly limits the authority of the Federal Government to the protection of our God given rights and the administration of justice;

* That the states of this nation are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent, reserving for themselves all powers not clearly delegated by them to the Federal Government, as stated in the tenth amendment;

* That the liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom will not long survive without religious and economic freedom;

* That the free enterprise system, including a sound currency and the prohibition of government created inflation, is the only economic system consistent with the promotion of life, liberty and prosperity;

* That the purpose of American foreign policy, clearly discerning our friends and enemies, should be, by means of a superior national defense and a strong free economy, to maintain the freedom of the people of America and, insofar as consistent with that purpose, to keep our country at peace.
