I hope the committee
keeps in mind it’s not the party’s place to interfere in a person sex life, a
woman’s uterus, or try to be the morality police.
A handful of people
that make up the committee’s traditional
values or conservative principles may not be that of a majority of Republicans.
Traditional values refer to those beliefs, moral
codes, and mores that are passed down from generation to generation within a
culture, subculture or community. They change with the times and the Republican
Party needs to recognize that.
Conservative principles has a multitude of
meanings for some it’s fiscal others it’s moral or both. What is it King wants
to preserve? Follow the constitution? It hasn’t been followed for over a 100
years it doesn’t reflect todays government/peoples beliefs or we wouldn’t have the
education department, EPA, Medicare, Social Security, Welfare programs,
Unemployment benefits, Foreign Aid etc.
Mr.
Ash in appointing people to the committee try to get some young people and not
only old white people. Also please remember different religions and cultures
have different values not all Republicans have the same education, financial
background or ethnicity. be
Conservatives draw battle plans for convention fight.Facing efforts to soften the party’s stance on same-sex marriage and policy uncertainty from Donald Trump, one group sees a path to preserving policy orthodoxy.
A group of Republican operatives and officials led by Arizona Republican
National Committeeman Bruce Ash are working on a project devoted to
safeguarding the conservative platform.
Conservatives,
increasingly distressed that their agenda is in peril, are preparing an
aggressive push at the party convention to preserve their control over the
GOP’s official platform.
With some
of the GOP’s biggest donors financing a multimillion-dollar campaign to soften
the party’s stringent posture on social issues, and with Donald Trump deviating
from conservatives.
Conservatives,
increasingly distressed that their agenda is in peril, are preparing an
aggressive push at the party convention to preserve their control over the
GOP’s official platform.
With some
of the GOP’s biggest donors financing a multimillion-dollar campaign to soften
the party’s stringent posture on social issues, and with Donald Trump deviating
from conservatives on a range of policy areas, a group of Republican operatives
and officials on Wednesday will announce a project devoted to safeguarding the
platform. The group, spearheaded by Arizona Republican National Committeeman
Bruce Ash and prominent GOP attorney Jim Bopp, will focus on ensuring that
like-minded conservatives secure slots on the 112-member Platform Committee.
And when the committee meets at the convention, the group will work to ensure
that conservatives work in concert toward the same goal.
In an
interview, Bopp, who will also have a seat on the Platform Committee, insisted
the group wasn’t designed to work against Trump but rather to assist him and
guide him toward adopting the ideas and principles that have defined the
Republican Party for decades. The purpose, he says in a letter to the 168
members of the Republican National Committee, “is to develop a platform which
will provide a basis for our party to unite in order to win the White House
fight.”
“The
Republican Party is based on conservative principles and the election will be
won on conservative policy,” he adds. Rest
