  • The Marriage Debate Heads for GOP Platform Fight, Treasurers Race to Headline Convention by BRIAN A
    V19, N36 Tuesday, June 3, 2014 The marriage debate heads for GOP Platform fight, treasurers race to headline convention By BRIAN A. HOWEY NASHVILLE, Ind. – Sometime be- tween 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. this Saturday in Fort Wayne, the Indiana Republicans will chart a course that could impact their position as Indi- ana’s super majority party. The supposed 1,775 delegates (not all will show up) will make a determination on whether the party’s 2014 platform addresses the constitutional marriage amendment, and it will choose a state treasurer nominee who could expose the various fissures – Tea Party, establishment, money wings – of the party. Terre Haute attorney Jim Bopp Jr., who lost his Republican National Committee seat While the treasurer floor fight among in 2012 after proposing a party litmus test, is pushing the marriage platform plank.

  • 2004 Republican Party Platform: a Safer World and a More Hopeful America
    2004 Republican Party Platform: A Safer World and a More Hopeful America RONALD REAGAN believed that people were basically good, and had the right to be free. He believed that bigotry and prejudice were the worst things a person could be guilty of. He believed in the Golden Rule and in the power of prayer. He believed that America was not just a place in the world, but the hope of the world. As Ronald Wilson Reagan goes his way, we are left with a joyful hope he shared. May God bless Ronald Reagan and the country he loved. ________ President George W. Bush Funeral Service for Former President Ronald Wilson Reagan Washington National Cathedral Washington, D.C. June 11, 2004 INTRODUCTION AND PREAMBLE ________ One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that would save the Union – the Republican Party. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner in the Presidential election and was elected the Party’s first President. He became our nation’s greatest leader … and one of our Party’s greatest heroes. Every day, we strive to fulfill Lincoln’s vision: a country united and free, in which all people are guaranteed equal rights and the opportunity to pursue their dreams. His legacy goes beyond the borders of America. It can be seen in free governments all over the world. Lincoln’s successors have been united by a common purpose – defending freedom at home and promoting it abroad. Today, the Republican Party gathers to re- nominate a man who carries on the best traditions of our Party by carrying the banner of freedom.

ARTICLES SOCIAL-REPUBLICAN PROPERTY William H. Simon* INTRODUCTION Economic democracy is the idea that the norms of equality and participation that classical liberalism confines to a narrowly defined sphere of government should apply to the sphere of economic life. Economic democracy thus entails a challenge to the classical liberal notion of property. In classical liberalism, property defines a realm of private enjoyment. No particular property right is a prerogative of, or a prerequisite to, citizenship, and the exercise of property rights by those who have them is not assessed in political terms. One alternative to classical liberalism responsive to the ideal of economic democracy is classical socialism. Classical socialism op- poses to the liberal notion of private property the notion of state property-property controlled by the officials of a democratically constituted state. Another alternative to classical liberalism in- spired in part by the ideal of economic democracy is social democ- racy or welfare-regulatory liberalism.
