They believe that a health care system that is run by the government will reduce both the efficiency and the standard of care, as well as compromise the patient-physician relationship, and increase waiting periods within the health care system, as evidenced by government-centered health care systems throughout the world.]]> 2018-02-21 18:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233916801 garcia_lissette https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917029 The Republican Party stands behind a traditional definition of marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman.  In relation to gay marriage, the Republican Party believes that state’s rights should extend not only to the right to legalize or not legalize gay marriages, but to recognize, or not recognize, gay marriages from other jurisdictions. ]]> 2018-02-21 18:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917029 garcia_lissette https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917258 Republicans call for stricter federal regulations over marijuana, amongst the rampant state legalizations for medical and recreational use.]]> 2018-02-21 18:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917258 garcia_lissette https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917493  The Republican Party believes in immigration laws and immigration reforms that address the needs of national security.  the party believes that a system needs to be in place to ensure that immigrants who enter this country illegally are not provided with the same benefits that legal citizens are. ]]> 2018-02-21 18:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917493 garcia_lissette https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233917659 They believe that policies such as these force employers and schools to consider lesser-qualified candidates for the sake of having a more diverse representation.

Only two months into 2018 and there have been numerous school shootings. And with this we know republicans very much agree with the idea that people are allowed to carry and use guns. Another issue is about transgender bathrooms, and republicans haven't talked so much about this topic but from their views on transgender issues we can most likely tell that they will keep it at a Boy and Girl bathroom only. Their views are whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by the sex they were assigned at birth.]]> 2018-02-21 18:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/garcia_lissette/politicalpartiesp5/wish/233918728
