Who We Are

The Lincoln Club of Colorado is Colorado’s oldest Republican organization. Based on the humanitarian principles of president Abraham Lincoln and founded in 1917, the club’s mission for over 85 years has been to promote the educational and social programs of the Republican party and to provide election information to the state’s voters.

Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President of the United States, led our nation through years of bitter civil war. Uniting and organizing America’s freedom loving people is as necessary for survival today as it was then, and that is the purpose of the Lincoln Club of Colorado ... to promote Republican ideals by sponsoring educational programs, providing election information and fostering companionship among members.

Monthly luncheons provide platforms for some of the most outstanding political leaders in the state and the annual Lincoln dinners attract speakers of national prominence.

We believe that by gathering often in common purpose, the strength of this organization will grow and victory for the Republican principals will flourish. We believe that America will remain strong as long as all citizens are free to develop their own unique potential.

We invite you to join us.

November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address, where 50,000 soldiers were killed or wounded in a three day battle:

“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.  We are met on a great battlefield…to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live…But…we cannot dedicate…this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it…It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced…That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure…That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
