Who is the real Civil Rights Party?
I have posted this Resolution from our 2006 Republican State Convention to once and for all set the record straight as to which party is the party of all the people in this great country.
2006 Convention Resolutions
Resolutions 2006 Republican State Convention (As adopted)
2006-32 Civil Rights WHEREAS, the Republican Party was formed in March of 1854, in Ripon, Wisconsin, to address the issue of slavery, and addressed racism as a moral issue in its first platform in 1856; and WHEREAS, Republicans single-handedly passed the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution to guarantee the rights of citizenship and voting for all Americans, with not one Democrat in Congress voting for either of those two constitutional amendments and in its first 14 years of controlling Congress, Republicans passed 23 civil rights laws each over almost unanimous opposition of Democrats, and WHEREAS, The 1964 Civil Rights Bill and the 1965 Civil Rights Bill were passed because of strong Republican support and the Republican Party has a proud record of standing for moral issues and for the inalienable rights of every individual: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, reaffirms and renews the Republican Party’s historic and moral commitment against racism, and continue to welcome Americans of every ethnicity to take a seat at the table in our Party as we work together to preserve our heritage of equality, religious freedom, and strong moral values.

Jim & Rodger,
Thanks for the great article. I appreciate the understanding of history that you have, as is cited in this article. The more we understand real, true history, the less likely we are to repeat the mistakes made. To present the current Mexican migration to previous migrations in history is an angle I haven't seen elsewhere, and it is quite valid and worthy of analysis, and should be analyzed much more. Thanks again.

Jim,
Thank you for this article. It is a fact that the Republican Party is the real champion of civil rights. I didn't start to realize this until I read a book about the Civil War and it brought out the fact that the Republican Party was birthed to get rid of slavery, and during the Civil War the Democratic Party was proslavery. It must be the rewriting of history that prevents people from knowing this. Thank you for starting your blog. I wanted to respond to your article to encourage you to write more of these. Thanks again.

Mitch,
You are a great American. God Bless YOU.
This is an awesome blog.
I think Resolution 32 was the best resolution that we passed this year.
Thanks for sharing this
