The Lincoln Club of Orange County is an organization dedicated to limiting government to those legitimate functions that least intrude on the economy and the individual lives of its citizens while providing a strong defense securing individual liberties. These principles are paramount: government may only act with the consent of the governed and ought to do only that which the people cannot do for themselves; political freedom cannot survive without the economic freedoms afforded by low taxes and free enterprise; and government conducted in accordance with these principles will result in economic growth and individual liberty for all citizens. The Lincoln Club of Orange County celebrates the worth and dignity of every man and woman, regardless of race, color or religion, and is committed to their exercise of freedom’s most essential element – personal responsibility.
