Foreigners COVERED

I recently came across 2 versions of the 1956 Republican Platform:

Version 1:

1. Provide Federal assistance to low-income communities.
2. Protect Social Security.
3. Provide asylum to refugees.
4. Extend the minimum wage.
5. Improve unemployment benefit systems, so it covers more people.
6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can easily join a union.
7. Assure equal pay for equal work, regardless of sex.

Version 2:
1. Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the
states, employees and employers.
2. Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions
of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers
handicapped workers, members of minority groups and migratory workers.
3. Strengthen and improve the Federal-State employment services and improve
the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system.
4. Protect by law the assets of employee welfare and benefit plans, so that
workers who are the beneficiaries can be assured of their rightful
benefits.
5. Assure equal pay for equal work, regardless of sex.
6. Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous
administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public
supply contracts.
7. Extend protection of the minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is
possible and practicable.
8. Continue to fight for elimination of discrimination in employment
because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex.
9. Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced
with persistent and substantial unemployment.
10.Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively
the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker and the
public.
11.The protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to
bargain collectively is the permanent policy of the Eisenhower
Administration.

If true, this coming out of the mouths of the Republican Party, is absolutely mind-blowing. If these words were being spoken today by Democrats, the GOP would be screaming: "Communists!"

Well since the republican party has been hijacked by a madman it seems direction changes daily. Weird and dangerous times we live in.
