Before the 2016 election, I diced apart the platforms of both the Democratic and Republican parties.  This year, I’m rehashing  the Republican Party Platform to see what’s been done in this first year of a Republican President, as well as a Republic majority in the House and the Senate.

This installment covers the Republican section entitled “A Rebirth of constitutional Government.”  If you want a look back to 2016, enter “Party Platform” in the search bar.  If you want a reminder of what I’ve done so far in 2017, search for “State of the Union.”

Today’s Installment is about [tweetthis]the Republicans’ take on A REBIRTH OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT. [/tweetthis]

The introduction of this section explains that the Republicans believe that government exists first and foremost to protect our inalienable rights.  So The Republicans fine that preferences, quotas, and set-asides are forms of discrimination.

As in the previous two installments, just so I can keep everything straight, I put the information into a simple chart, like I would for corporate goals.  This is also the way CoCo’s Individual Education Plans got laid out, too.  Pretty easy to understand; I think:  We will______________ by_____________ so that______________ happens.

I added Bold Red in the middle column for a status update. (I used Blue Bold for action contrary to the Platform.)

In most cases, my source is GovTrack.us. I noted other sources, so you can take a look for yourself.
