GOP Platform

If you want a good read sometime, take a look at the GOP platform. It is reaffirming to review the beliefs of the party, what it stands for. When compared with the Democrat's platform, it becomes apparent that we really do come from different places.

Maintaining the Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life
"Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and
sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which
cannot be infringed.  We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendments protections apply to unborn children.
We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which
advocate it.  We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life."


Preserving Traditional Marriage
Because our children's future is best preserved  within the traditional understanding of marriage, we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it.  In the absence of a national amendment, we support the right of the people of the various states to affirm traditional marriage through state initiatives


Safeguarding Religious Liberties
Our Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion and forbids any religious test for public office, and it likewise prohibits the establishment of a state-sponsored creed.  The balance between those two ideals has been distorted by judicial rulings which attempt to drive faith out of the public arena. The public display of the Ten Commandments does not violate the U.S. Constitution and accurately reflects the Judeo-Christian heritage of our country.
