In approximately 300 words (not less than 275 and not more than 350), create a blog that compares one element of both the Republican and Democrat party platforms. For example, what is their difference on military preparedness or environmental policy. (The new national-level platforms will come out in Summer 2016)
Republican Party 2016 Platform
( gop 2016 platform(1).pdf )
Democratic Party 2016 Platform
( Democratic-Party-Platform-2016(1).pdf )
ABORTION, GAY MARRIAGE, and GUN CONTROL ARE NOT ALLOWED AS COMPARISON TOPICS!! (That’s just too easy 
) Make sure you READ the specific elements of the platforms. Don’t use what you THINK you know about the differences (or what they media tell you). The point of the assignment is that you find out what the official position of each party is and WHY! The objective of the assignment is for you to dig deeper into why each party supports or opposes certain policy issues. Don’t just take what you THINK you know or what you hear/read on the news. No header is needed… really just get to the point on this assignment. No fluff allowed! Please use two paragraphs: one for each party. Note: Do NOT use either party’s opposition statements as parts of your comparison. This assignment requires that you be CONCISE in your approach to the comparison. You will be graded on thoroughness and objectiveness. I should not be able to tell which side of the argument you take. You are not trying to persuade me; just inform me with the facts. No points will be awarded for this assignment if the platforms are not used.
