        <title> Views Of The Alaska Republican Party</title>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff6600; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Views of The Alaska Republican Party &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Alaska Republican Party stands firm in its goals and objectives of what they stand for.  They believe they are the group that is involved in the morals and principles based on the United States.  They believe in liberty and freedom for all residents of Alaska and feel they are the best party to represent that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as jobs and the economy go, the group is firmly behind the free enterprise system.  &lt;br /&gt;This consists of:&lt;br /&gt;Being able to choose businesses freely without interference from others&lt;br /&gt;A person&amp;rsquo;s right to private property&lt;br /&gt;Being able to profit, as long as it&amp;rsquo;s legal&lt;br /&gt;Competition of businesses&lt;br /&gt;Consumer sovereignty (determine whether or not a business will stay in business by patronizing them)&lt;br /&gt;The free enterprise system is the way of economic growth.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to that, the Alaska Republican Party is big on international trade.  International Trade happens to be an economic lifeline for the state.  In fact, the Party encourages trade between Alaska and foreign countries.  They also are in favor of free trade zones in their state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are in favor of hunting and fishing in Alaska.   Because of that, they agree that there should be access to the fisheries of the state.  Salmon or other fish that is farmed is not acceptable.  Any fish that is of a foreign nature is not acceptable, either.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the state of Alaska, the Alaska Republican Party is in favor of economic investment within their state.  They support laws that include stability, development of resources that will stay in the state, and not to overtax state residents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Alaska Republican Party believes in supporting and saying the Pledge of Allegiance on a daily basis.  They also believe in honoring the American and home state flags.  Patriotism is very important, especially in the state school system.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Party believes that parents should have a choice when it comes to where they want to send their children.  Whether it is public, private, charter or home-schooling, the parents should be able to make that choice.  In addition to chat, they should be able to use tuition tax credits and/or vouchers to determine what type of education they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also believe that if a child is being taught sex education related information, that there should be parental consent.  If consent is given, the information dispensed should be based on abstinence.  The group is not interested in having a lot of teenage pregnancies in their state.  As far as homosexuality goes, that is a non-issue with them.  They believe it should not be taught as an acceptable way to live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as public education is concerned, local control should be used exclusively.  The standards for students should be of a high caliber.  The Party also believes in standardized testing for each student in public schools.  They are however, against any federal testing programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with the National Republican Party, the Alaska Republican Party is steadfast on morals, high caliber and integrity.  They also want to maintain excellent stewardship in their state.&lt;/p&gt;
