Party Platform and Stances
The party's platform and stances are similar to the national platform: in the support to bear arms, support of abstinence only program funding in education, pro-life and opposition of funding for abortion, support of strong national defense and of troops and veterans. It is also similar in the support of deportation of illegal immigrants, the commitment of the use of the E-verify system by employers, opposition of amnesty in regards to immigration, and the support of English as the official language. It is similar in the promotion of a health savings account and giving individuals choices when it comes to healthcare, promoting the parents' choice in education (public, private, home-school), supporting all science-based theories on the origin of life in schools, and upholding the sanctity of marriage to be only between a man and woman.
The party's platform differs from the national platform in the party's support of a fair tax, whereas the national party does not mention it. The state party supports the implementation of granting state-aid to post-secondary education to those who graduate early.
