Do you believe America should welcome immigrants into our country who commit to following the legal process while securing our borders against illegal entry by both people and lethal drugs? If you do, you should know that the 2024 Republican Party platform has a plan to do so, which includes restoring sound border policies, completing border walls, and using advanced technology to monitor the border. Those entering the country legally would be properly vetted, while known gang members, drug dealers or cartel members illegally in our country would be removed.
If you believe that America’s borders should be open for anyone to come in and receive housing, medical care, education and more at the expense of American taxpayers, then you should vote Democrat.
Tired of paying sky-high gas and grocery prices? Reversing the open border policies that have driven up housing and health care costs for Americans is just one part of the Republican plan to reduce prices and inflation. Reliable, abundant, and affordable energy is critical to our nation’s success, and unleashing American energy from all sources—solar, wind, fossil fuels, and nuclear—will improve every aspect of America’s economy, lower inflationary rates, and increase job opportunities.
The Republican platform promises to make permanent the provisions of the tax cuts they previously imposed, which are now set to expire. These provisions doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred economic growth for all Americans. The platform proposes eliminating tip taxes for millions of restaurant and hospitality workers. The previous deregulatory policies that saved American households thousands of dollars will be reinstated.
If you want to continue paying high prices at the gas pump and in the grocery store, then vote Democrat.
Would you like to see more opportunities in education, support for parental rights and greater opportunities for our students? The Republican platform supports a variety of publicly supported education models, universal school choice, homeschooling families and expanded 529 education savings accounts, the creation of additional, affordable alternatives to a traditional four-year college education, and an emphasis on preparing our students for jobs and careers, including work experience programs.
If you support a greater emphasis on teacher unions and social issues than on academics, job skills, career preparation and success for our students, then you should vote Democrat.
The Republican platform will “ensure the long-term sustainability of Social Security” as well as protect “Medicare’s finances from being financially crushed by the Democrats’ plan to add tens of millions of new illegal immigrants to Medicare’s rolls.” The platform promises an increased focus on chronic disease prevention and management, long-term care and benefits flexibility, expanding access to primary care and support for policies that will help seniors remain in their homes.
There is no truth to the oft-repeated claim that “Republicans want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare,” but if you believe that rising inflation and illegally enrolling millions in our country in Medicare will help seniors, then you vote democrat.
If you believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion, then the Republican platform has something for you too. Your federal government will be prohibited from colluding with anyone to censor lawful speech, and free speech for all will be protected. Your right not only to worship as you see fit, but also to act according to your beliefs in your everyday life, will be upheld.
The Republican platform affirms that no person may be denied life or liberty without due process of law, and individual states may enact laws protecting these rights. Any restrictions, or lack thereof, on abortion will be determined in a democratic process by the voters of each state. The platform opposes late-term abortions while supporting mothers and policies that promote prenatal care, access to contraception and IVF fertility treatments. Congressman Kevin Kiley has co-sponsored HR 8821, specifically to improve access to treatments such as IVF and ensure that such treatments are covered by health insurance. Every aspect of the oft-repeated claim that Republicans want to ban birth control and IVF treatments is patently false.
In Tim Walz’s state of Minnesota, abortion providers fill out a form with the infant’s gestational age—option (ix) is: “37 weeks to term.” If you believe that an abortion performed after 40 weeks or even birth is acceptable as it is in Minnesota, vote Democrat.
The Republican platform would prevent men from competing in women’s sports and would restore hard-won protections for women and girls as written in Title IX education regulations.
If you think your sister, daughter, or granddaughter should risk physical harm competing with stronger, more muscular biological males in swimming, wrestling, track, or any other sport, as well as losing scholarships and medal opportunities, vote Democrat.
The Republican platform will ensure that the US military is the most modern and powerful force in the world by investing in advanced technologies and supporting our troops with higher pay, as well as by prioritizing the protection of our nation’s critical infrastructure and industrial base from malicious actors cyber actors. While supporting a foreign policy centered on vital American interests, Republicans will strengthen alliances by ensuring that our allies meet their commitments to our common defense in an effort to restore peace in Europe. Republicans will stand with Israel, our strongest democratic ally in the Middle East, and seek peace throughout the region. The platform condemns anti-Semitism and supports revoking visas for foreign nationals who support terrorism, jihadism or violence against Jews.
If you support those in our country whose rallying cry is “Death to America! Death to Israel!”, then I hope you will find that there is no party in America that represents you.
