Dear CAGOP Delegate, Our Declaration of Independence celebrates “self-evident truths” in the ordering of the universe, contained in the “laws of nature and of nature’s God.”  Truths evident in history, human nature, and written in the Scriptures, are never to be compromised. In our more recent past, former California Governor Ronald Reagan, addressing the Republican National Convention in 1976, said, “I believe the Republican party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors with no pale pastel shades.” In 2023, at a time of great uncertainty, with the fundamental building blocks of society as we know it under attack by the radical left, will WE be the ones to lead the California GOP away from our bold, unmistakable principles in exchange for watered-down, fuzzy knock-off – the very pale pastels Reagan warned us about? At a time when Americans, betrayed by our political leaders, are seeking leadership based on timeless principles, will we let them down by retreating when we should, instead, advance? We, the undersigned, ask you to join us to save our bold, unmistakable California Republican Party Platform. Our existing CAGOP platform takes clear and firm stands on the following core, conservative principles: Economy and Jobs; Crime and Justice; Taxes and Government Spending; The Right to Life; Traditional Marriage; Family; The Right to Keep and Bear Arms; Religious Freedom; Election Integrity; Education, Immigration; National Defense; Private Property Rights; Veterans Affairs, our historic and ongoing Support for Proposition 13, and more. You can view our current platform HERE. The current draft drops our commitments to traditional marriage, to the right to life, and to Proposition 13, while watering down our language on many other core principles through vague language and faddish buzzwords in a strained attempt to stay “current.”  Remember New Coke? Exactly. You can view the drafted platform HERE. Great movements are built on foundational principles.  We are confident that our Republican Party can grow strong again by basing our efforts as a party on the bedrock, eternal truths in our U.S. Constitution. Look what happened with Republican, pro-life Governor Glen Youngkin who won Virginia and lit the path forward by combatting the absurdity and evil of the culture war issues, not by capitulating to them. We must do the same. Bud Light, Target, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts learned hard lessons when they embraced leftist extremism and forgot their base. California Republicans cannot afford to make the mistake of capitulating to the woke left instead of standing firm on our traditional values and core principles. As a Party, we live as principled Republicans or die as a pale, pastel imitation of the Democrats. Abandoning our principles will not get us votes, but it will, most certainly, cause us to lose our most principled and loyal supporters and volunteers. Therefore, we ask that the CAGOP maintain its foundational principles and respectfully ask for your commitment to VOTE to keep our platform “as is” and would be grateful for your support.
