Resolution to Pass Paycheck Protection

On June 5, 2014 SUNACRW passed a  resolution in support of paycheck protection.

 

Whereas, Pennsylvania law currently allows taxpayer resources to be used to automatically collect public sector union dues; and

Whereas, this collection process benefits a private organization at taxpayer expense; and

Whereas, employees are subjected to forced collection without their personal approval; and

Whereas, unions use these monies to impact the political process through activities and expenditures on behalf of opposition candidates and for self-serving lobbying efforts; and

Whereas, taxpayer resources should not be used for any partisan political purpose; then,

Be it resolved, that SUN Area Council of Republican Women calls on the Pennsylvania legislature to quickly pass Paycheck Protection legislation to protect worker freedom and relieve Commonwealth taxpayers from the burden of supporting public sector unions.

RNC Resolution for Marriage and Children 2013

Whereas, the institution of marriage is the solid foundation upon which our society is built and in which children thrive; and it is based on the relationship that only a man and a woman can form; and

Whereas, support for marriage has been repeatedly affirmed nationally in the 2012 Republican National Platform, through the enactment of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 (signed into law by President Bill Clinton), and passed by the voters of 41 States including California via Proposition 8 in 2008; and

Whereas, no Act of human government can change the reality that marriage is a natural and most desirable union; especially when procreation is a goal; and

Whereas, the future of our country is children; it has been proven repeatedly that the most secure and nurturing environment in which to raise healthy well adjusted children is in a home where both mother and father are bound together in a loving marriage; and

Whereas, the U. S. Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of laws adopted to protect marriage from the unfounded accusation that support for marriage is based only on irrational prejudice against homosexuals; therefore be it

Resolved, the Republican National Committee affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America; and be it further

Resolved, the Republican National Committee implores the U. S. Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on California‟s Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act.

As adopted by the Republican National Committee on April 12, 2013.
