February 6th, 1911 – June 5th, 2004

The Oregon Republican Party joins citizens across the United States, in celebrating the 101st anniversary of the birth of President Ronald Reagan today. There is no doubt that America and freedom-loving countries throughout the world are better off because of the achievements made by this Republican President.

President Ronald Reagan's accomplishments re-established the United States as the global leader of democracy and prosperity. His “Peace through Strength” diplomacy ended the Cold War, has led to dozens of new democracies throughout the world, and his economic and domestic policies continue to shape our Party's platform, and created a generation of economic growth and prosperity.

We give thanks for President Ronald Reagan’s service to our country and his legacy of freedom, prosperity, and belief in the American people. Thanks to President Reagan, we know that “America’s best days are yet to come!”

"No weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable
as the will and moral courage of free men and women.
It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have."
    -President Ronald Reagan

Oregon Republicans Pass 2012 ‘Freedom Primary’
Non-Affiliated Voters invited to vote with Republicans in 3 statewide races

Albany, OR – The Central Committee of the Oregon Republican Party, at its winter meeting yesterday in Albany, voted to allow registered non-affiliated voters in Oregon to participate in the Party’s May 2012 primary election for partisan statewide offices.

The decision affects the three primary election races for state office: Secretary of State, Attorney General and Treasurer, and applies only for the 2012 election.

“We have seen the Democrats become more and more beholden to special interest groups that we do not think reflect the values and vision that a majority of Oregonians have for our state,” said Allen Alley, Chairman of the Oregon GOP.

"We believe that the Republican Party messages of responsible, responsive and efficient government coupled with fostering economic prosperity are not just Republican values, they are values that non-affiliated voters and even Democrats can embrace.  Non-affiliated voters are the only group that has not been allowed to cast a ballot in primary elections for partisan state offices. The Oregon GOP is sending them a message: we want you.”
