Wisconsin GOP 2006 Resolutions

In part:
"...2006-05 Sanctity of Human Life

WHEREAS, our founding fathers recognized life as an inalienable, divine right which the Republican Party has reaffirmed in declaring abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia as violations of this sacred and basic human right; and
WHEREAS, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution guarantee that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of the law:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, insists that our federal and state legislators reaffirm the sanctity of all human life and re-establish legal protection of human life from conception to natural death through legislation and a human life amendment to both the state and federal constitutions, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled:
A. Demands that our state legislators support and pass legislation allowing those in the health care field to exempt themselves from any and all abortion procedures, and
B. Demands the United States Congress pass legislation banning research on fetal tissue and all human cloning, and
C. Demands our federal and state governments not directly or indirectly fund abortions, and
D. Urges our state and national legislators to impose reasonable limits on abortion, such as spousal notification, counseling, waiting requirements, a prohibition on crossing state lines, and parental notification requirements in cases of minors seeking abortions, and
E. Urges our state and national legislators to be sensitive to the difficult circumstances surrounding unplanned pregnancies, and supports programs which provide guidance, in a compassionate manner, to help mothers who face an unplanned pregnancy to understand the options available to them, in particular the option of saving the life of each mother's unborn child through adoption.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, supports the enactment of a ban on partial birth abortion..."


"...2006-25 Conservative Direction: GOP

WHEREAS, the Republican Party of Wisconsin at the local, district, and state level at the Convention, has passed numerous resolutions of a conservative nature; favoring a smaller less intrusive government, a right to bear arms, and a directive to secure our borders, etc.; and
WHEREAS, these resolutions are the direction that the people of the party want their representatives to adhere to; and
WHEREAS, the people of the party recognize that while they cannot compel their representatives to vote in this manner, they can and do expect them to:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, urge the Republican Party to withhold all promotional and financial support of those candidates that do not consistently subscribe to this overall conservative agenda, be they incumbent or new candidates, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Republican Party actively and vigorously seek candidates that will go in this conservative direction, and respect the wishes of party members..."
