Platform
of the Republican Party of New Mexico
The
2002 New Mexico Republican Party Platform, Adopted March 16, 2002
Protecting
The American Dream
Philosophy
The Republican Party of New Mexico is a party of the people and
for the people. We seek to be faithful to the best traditions of
our national party, the party that ended slavery, granted homesteads,
built land grant colleges, and moved control of government back
into the hands of the people. We champion the worth and abilities
of the individual and seek to protect the American Dream for all.
We believe our God-given freedom is inseparable from our responsibility
to serve our community, state and nation. In this, we draw inspiration
from our first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, who challenged
us to "dare to do our duty as we understand it." Надежда Стрелкина (Russian laquer miniature from Fedoskino ) (8). Labels.
Economic Freedom
We support private sector solutions and government policies that
lower taxes, encourage limited government, local control and a system
that promotes work, job creation and prosperity. We support a person's
right to voluntarily join a union and believe that union dues should
be used for political purposes only with the acknowledged consent
of the member. MSI VR220-005US REPLACEMENT LAPTOP LCD SCREEN
Crime/Personal Safety
Personal safety is paramount to the pursuit of the American way
of life. We believe justice must be served; criminals and evil doers
must be punished to the fullest extent of the law; and the rights
of the innocent must be protected over the rights of the convicted.
We support our United States and New Mexico Constitutional right
to keep and bear arms for personal security and defense. Very best visitekaartjes ontwerpen - Connexx
Private Property
The ownership of private property is the foundation of a free society.
We support the vigorous protection of private property rights, including
water rights. Water is essential to our quality of life in New Mexico.
We call on the State of New Mexico to stand up for its people and
defend private property and water rights against any claims, threats
or takings.
Education
We support excellence in education through accountability, parental
involvement, local control and school choice as a key to success
and the ability to compete in a complex and changing world. We reject
any education policy that traps minorities, disadvantaged or other
children in failing schools.
Healthcare
Fix it, don't Federalize it! We support accessible healthcare for
all New Mexico citizens. We encourage private sector solutions to
healthcare concerns and the preservation of healthcare benefits
for the elderly.
Equal Rights
We support vigorous enforcement of the letter and spirit of Civil
Rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, gender,
handicap, religion and national origin.
Life Issues
We believe in the protection and sanctity of human life from preborn
to the elderly, infirm and disabled until natural death. We are
opposed to human embryo research, human cloning and tax-funded abortion.
Controlled Substances
Substance abuse destroys lives, families and communities. We support
a balanced approach to New Mexico's drug problems. We encourage
the empowerment of local communities to deal with substance abuse
problems. We support funding for effective treatment, Drug Courts
and faith-based restoration/mentoring. We disapprove of efforts
to legalize or decriminalize drugs.
Immigration
We support and welcome all legal immigrants and others who are here
by due process and are productive, law-abiding persons.
Election Integrity
We support enacting legislation that protects the electoral franchise
by requiring proof of identity and residency prior to voting at
the polls and believe that no eligible voter should be denied the
right to vote.
Environment
We support environmental policy that is based on sound science.
We believe a clean environment and a sound economy are compatible.
