About MTRO
The Milton Township Republican Organization is made up of 81 enthusiastic volunteer men and women who aid the Republican cause.
What is Milton Township?
Milton is one of nine townships that make up DuPage County. Townships are 6 mile by 6 mile municipalities, which were first used to divide the state of Illinois. Townships are the oldest existing unit of government in the united states and is known as the government “closest to the people”. With a population around 117,000, Milton encompasses Wheaton, Glen Ellyn and portions of Winfield, Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights and Lombard.
What do we do?
The Committeemen and women of our 81 precincts work to promote the Republican Party Platform.
Committeemen seek to provide the constituents of their precinct with accurate and reliable information about upcoming elections and turn out the Republican vote. Committeemen often distribute campaign literature and circulate letters giving their assessments on the vote at hand. Overall, the MTRO and its volunteers act as a liaison between the many residents of Milton Township and the Republican Party at large.
What do we support?
In short, the ever changing and adapting, Republican Party Platform.
We support the challenges and rewards of the free enterprise system. Recognizing that every dollar spent on government comes from the private sector, we believe that government should be as local and inexpensive as possible and that the United States is indeed the best hope for mankind and should be defended at all cost. The basic human values of respect, equal treatment, freedom of speech and religion, and protection under the law are universal and should be promoted as part of a foreign policy which seeks a more peaceful world. We work hard for a better business and political climate in Illinois.
We support Republican candidates running for office and candidates who share our Republican values! Locally we encourage activity in the political and electoral process by meeting with, evaluating and promoting candidates at all levels of government.
We work to educate ourselves and our neighbors as to the activities, policies and programs of the agencies that impact our lives. And finally, we invite like-minded individuals to join our ranks to help keep our country free and prosperous.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
