Thank you for stopping by our new website. We are the Lafayette Township Republicans located in the western suburbs of St. Louis County Missouri. Please take some time to explore our site. We are in the process of creating the best site for conservative Republicans to research information about the local, state and national political process.
Our organization is founded on the traditional principles of our great nation,.... Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. These truths are not negotiable if we are to remain a free people.....
We are here to serve the people of Lafayette Township by educating the residents about the issues of the day.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"... Edmond Burke
The Crisis by Thomas Paine
December 23, 1776
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God. .......
