VIDEO: A Comparison of each Party’s Platform — As Important as the Candidate!

While the media largely ignores the party platforms after the political conventions, they should play a major role in every voters’ decision-making for 2016.

Apart from outlining the core beliefs and philosophies of the two parties, these documents are — at their core — the party’s contracts with voters for how both sides will govern if elected. In many ways, these documents are just as important — if not more so — in guiding the politics of both parties as the candidates themselves.

In the past several presidential election cycles, FRC and FRC Action have played significant roles in shaping the GOP’s platform — in 2016’s case, helping to draft the most conservative document in the Republican Party’s recent history.

With a coalition of committed conservatives in Cleveland, we managed — not only to stave off the attacks of the moderate wing of the party — but move the ball forward on several key issues.

Most people, meanwhile, never believed the Democratic Party could out-radical its 2012 national platform. Two weeks later, Hillary Clinton proved them wrong, putting her stamp of approval on an extreme grab bag of policy goals like taxpayer-funded abortion, special rights for transgenders, increased support of Planned Parenthood, a dilution of religious liberty, and more.

Candidates are only as good as their party platforms — so make sure you know what yours says! FRC Action just produced a valuable video contrasting the two documents on a slew of key issues. Take a few minutes to watch it, and then share it with your friends and family!

Please watch this video and get informed on the 2016 party platforms for the Republican and Democratic parties and how they are created!
