Death Penalty
The Progressive Caucus opposes the Death Penalty in all cases, including the terrorists. If we make exceptions for terrorists it won't be long until we make exceptions for lesser criminals. The death penalty punishes some crimes while neglects others, and that's not justice at all.
Strike Present Pledge of Allegiance Plank, and replace with:
Pledge of Allegiance
The Progressive Caucus opposes the daily citation of the Pledge in schools.
I've modified the wording to be more in keeping with our traditional style of writing for the Platform. Akno also wants something on Abortion.
I disagree with both. We need the death penalty, and the pledge shouldnt be removed. Under god should not be changed. Note that the pledge is optional no one is forcing anyone to do it. If you wish not to do the pledge thats your own choice. For the majority who do recite the pledge it should be kept.
