REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION PASSES 2008 GOP PLATFORM
ST. PAUL, MINN. – The 2008 Republican National Convention unanimously passed the 2008 Republican Party Platform today, featuring the most aggressive and innovative energy policy in Republican Party history.
“We are proud to have passed a platform today that all Republicans will enthusiastically support,” said RNC Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan. “This is a document that demonstrates a forward-looking, positive vision for America and is deeply rooted in the long-standing principles that make our Party great.”
The 112-member 2008 Convention Committee on Resolutions (“Platform Committee”) led by Chairman U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-22) and Co-Chairman U.S. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) unanimously passed the 2008 Republican Party Platform out of Committee on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008.
“This platform is the product of the most open and transparent process in American political history,” McCarthy said. “Indeed, we are a Party — as we are a nation — of mavericks. Yet we stand united today because we are the one Party that speaks to all Americans.”
“Our Party embodies a uniquely American spirit, and this platform is a testament to that freedom and stands as our promise to future generations that we will do whatever it takes to preserve it,” Burr said.
