Pro-Lifer to Head GOP Platform Committee

"Anyone hoping to water down the Republican platform must be mightily disappointed this morning after it was announced that staunch pro-lifer Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will preside over the GOP platform committee this year. McCarthy, who received a 100% rating in FRC Action's annual "True Blue" awards, was solidly conservative in his first year in the House. Although he could very well be the youngest person to chair the GOP panel, this freshman could make a significant mark on the direction of the party. FRCA will be on hand at the party conventions to champion basic planks on life, liberty, faith, and family."
