Newt Gingrich praises CRP Platform |
|
Memo from CRP Chairman Ron Nehring
The California Republican Party held its semi-annual
convention last week in San Francisco. Much was
accomplished at the convention, including the passage of
a new platform. Chairman Ron Nehring sent a memo to CRP
members, which states, in part:
Newt Gingrich, the leader of the 1994
Republican revolution and former Speaker of the
House, this week praised the California Republican
Party for adopting a platform based on Republican
principles and issues with proven "tri-partisan"
appeal.
Gingrich's group
American Solutions has spent the last year
conducting extensive policy and public opinion
research to identify issues rooted in Republican
principles that also enjoy the support of a
majority of Democrats and independent voters.
Their
Platform of the American People is a compilation
of this research.
In
his update to more than 550,000 subscribers this
week,
Speaker Gingrich said the following:
WINNING THE FUTURE:
The Doers, Not the Talkers: The Real
Change Movement Surges Ahead of Campaign '08
The California GOP Adopts Key Provisions
of the Platform of the American People
The next group of real change agents I want to
tell you about is the
California Republican Party.
I've talked to you in the past about the
Platform of the American People, an agenda
of solutions for America's challenges that have
the majority support of Republicans,
Democrats and independents.
Last week was a very successful week for the
Platform. At their convention last month, the
California Republican Party adopted key parts of
the Platform of the American People into their
state party platform.

here for the full article)
Thank you to everyone who
labored to develop the CRP's new platform. A
tremendous amount of work was contributed by
leaders from throughout the state to
ultimately produce a document that was adopted
by the CRP membership without further amendment.
As with every deliberative process, not
everyone's ideas made it into the final
document. Yet, our party is stronger and
benefited greatly from the dialogue and
debate in which everyone's voice was heard.
Again, special thanks to everyone who worked
to produce and improve this document. Click
