Unfortunately, some of our allies on fiscal conservatism and free markets also take a "conservative" stance on cultural issues. These of course are at odds with libertarian views. Nevertheless, I believe we can agree with a our cultural conservative allies that these issues are best left to the states to decide. In that regard, we can agree on issues of state sovereignty and focus our efforts on downsizing the federal government. Aaron,

Above is a very brief video of the vote taking place. Note how the Chair required two votes because she obviously did not think the Constitution-friendly platform was going to pass. The views expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect official positions of the RLC.
