PACHYDERMS ARE... 
Pachyderms are organized under a unique concept for political clubs with educational programs centered around government and politics. Pachyderm clubs are open to all Republicans.
Pachyderms believe that the corrupting influences in America could be erased, and government generally made more responsive, by one basic improvement. All that is required is for more good citizens to participate in politics. "We get the government we deserve, not the one we wish for," remains a guiding star for a free people.
Pachyderms offer a meaningful movement of political clubs as the most practical means by which a broad citizen participation in politics may be achieved.
Pachyderm Clubs promote the development of potential political leaders.
Pachyderms provide leadership in Government, protect individual rights and Freedom, promotes clean Government with local emphasis and keeps the public informed on the status of their government.
Pachyderm Clubs are one of the officially recognized allied organizations of the Republican National Committee.

The National Security Strategy, 2006
"The ideals that have inspired our history -- freedom, democracy, and human dignity -- are increasingly inspiring individuals and nations throughout the world. ... We choose leadership over isolationism, and the pursuit of free trade and open markets over protectionism. We choose to deal with challenges now rather than leaving them for future generations. We fight our enemies abroad instead of waiting for them to arrive in our country. We seek to shape the world, not merely be shaped by it; to influence events for the better instead of being at their mercy."
-- President George W. Bush,
