Pachyderm Clubs Contract
for political participation

 Whereas... Free Government Requires Active Citizens, therefore Pachyderm Clubs covenant to our communities that WE WILL:

1. strive to inform and involve all citizens in political participation;

2. assist in training candidates and volunteers in campaign techniques;

3. endeavor to present opposing viewpoints on political issues;

4. focus on the development of political leaders;

5. orient our members in the Ideals of the Pachyderm Club movement;

6. support the purposes of the Republican Party and its Ideals of Liberty and Justice for All;

7. seek to diminish the myths and falsehoods about politics and political leaders.
