Federation of Baxter County TAR Clubs, Arkansas

ORGANIZATION: Baxter County Federation of Teenage Republican Clubs is affiliated with the National TeenAge Republicans. The Federation is organized so as to meet the objectives of the TARS while allowing teenagers to associate within local clubs representing the various high schools and Private/home school entities. The TAR Clubs are chapters of the Federation. Although the Federation had two clubs before, it currently has only one TAR Club which is open to ALL teenagers in Baxter County:

OBJECTIVES:

To bring young people into the Republican Party and to provide an opportunity for them to find political expression and recognition;

To foster and encourage the activities of the Republican Party and to promote its ideals;

To collect, analyze, discuss, and disseminate information concerning political affairs and political philosophy; and

To advise, coordinate, and promote activities of Teenage Republicans.

EXECUTIVE BOARD: The Executive Director and Deputy Director direct the Teenage Republican Federation operations and provide general oversight and assistance for the TAR activities within Baxter County. The Executive Director serves as the TAR representative on the Executive Board of the Baxter County Republican Committee.

Officers from each TAR club are also defacto members of the Teenage Republican Federation and serve as TAR Federation Planning Committee. As minors will not have legal standing with respect to Federation operations. The committee coordinates joint activities of the chapters and provides broad guidance to the chapter clubs who each work autonomously within their sphere of influence.

Each TAR club will have volunteer adult sponsors as required by the school or group within which they function. Club adult sponsors do not serve on the Federation Board or Planning Committee. Sponsors provide adult oversight for the protection of TAR club members but they do not control the legal political TAR activities within the Clubs organizational guidelines or objectives of TARS. In addition, the Executive or Deputy Director are defacto sponsors for meetings/events hat they hold with TARS, GOP candidates may be the adult sponsor for their campaign activities. Adults supervising Republican Men's Club, Women's Club or County Committee events may also be the adult sponsor for TARS at those events.

I am a Republican because... I believe that the proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot be done as well, by individuals, and that the most effective government is government closest to the people. REPUBLICAN BELIEFS
