RNC RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE DEMOCRATS’ MARCH TOWARD SOCIALISM

WHEREAS, the American Heritage Dictionary defines socialism as a system of social organization in
which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned by a centralized government that often
plans and controls the economy; and
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has outlined their plans to nationalize the banking, financial and
healthcare industries; and
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has proposed massive government bailouts for the mortgage and
auto industries; and
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party has passed trillions of dollars in new government spending, all with
strings attached in order to control nearly every aspect of American life; and
WHEREAS, Newsweek reported recently, “Whether we like it or not – or even whether many people
have thought much about it or not – the numbers clearly suggest that we are headed in a more
European direction…As entitlement spending rises over the next decade, we will become even more
French;” and
WHEREAS, The Wall Street Journal reported recently, “But tucked away in the spending bill is a
change that will both reduce work and increase welfare by paying states to increase their welfare
caseloads;” and
WHEREAS, history has demonstrated that free markets and free men are the only way to prosperity
and have been the bedrock of the United States economy; and
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party seeks to expand government control of the daily lives of
Americans; and
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party and its leadership have dedicated themselves to a new taxing
objective of direct income redistribution which takes additional taxes from one group of people and
gives it in direct cash transfers to another group of people who pay no federal income taxes; and
WHEREAS, the American traditions of hard work and free enterprise are at risk as the Democratic
Party pushes our country towards European-style socialism and government control; therefore be it
RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee recognize the Democratic
Party’s clear and obvious purpose in proposing, passing, and implementing socialist programs through
federal legislation; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee recognize that the
Democratic Party is dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee call on the American people
to urge the President, the Congress and the Democratic Party to remember what made our country
great and to stop pushing our country towards socialism and governmental control.
Adopted by the Republican National Committee, May 20, 2009
