Hate Groups Form Coalition To “Save” GOP Platform

Via press release from Christian Newswire:

Family Research Council Action Chairman Tony Perkins, who is an elected member of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee from Louisiana, is announcing, in conjunction with scores of other conservative groups, the launch of the Platform Integrity Project.

This coalition seeks to work with the RNC and the Trump campaign for an open process that will help ensure the preservation of the GOP’s solidly conservative platform that contains longstanding pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Israel planks. This effort will, for the first time, score individual votes of platform delegates.

Partnering organizations include: FRC Action, WallBuilders, Faith Wins, American Principles Project, Family Policy Alliance, AFA Action, Liberty Counsel Action, Pro-Family Legislative Network, The Family Foundation of Kentucky, Center for Arizona Policy Action, Frontline Policy Action, Maryland Family Action, Human Coalition Action, Palmetto Family Council, and the North Carolina Values Coalition.

Voters need to see a contrast between the two parties on their policy priorities. Voters want and need a choice. The message to Platform Committee delegates is clear: preserve life and family values in the Republican Party platform so that social conservatives can continue to find a home in the GOP.

Read the full press release. Earlier today, the Family Research Council posted a warning that the Trump campaign may soften the GOP platform’s decades-old stances against LGBTQ rights, same-sex marriage, and abortion rights. Yesterday the Trump campaign announced that they plan to whittle down the current 60-page party platform to a “concise statement” of MAGA policies.
