The White Rose Party platform focuses on environmental protection, healthy living, education reform, gun safety laws, and abortion rights. The party advocates for renewable energy, limiting fast food and processed foods in favor of organic and local options, and improving education standards to be among the top countries. They support gun ownership but with mandatory background checks and training. The party also supports abortion rights and funding for women's health organizations.
3. The Environment
The White Rose Party believes that the preservation and protection
of our planet should be our nation’s top priority. The air we breathe, the water
we drink, and the land we live off of should be given the best care and not
polluted with our car emissions, litter, oil spills, etc.
We highly advocate the use of renewable resources to power our
buildings and automobiles. Not only are the cost and environmental benefits of
using solar and wind energy immense, but the development and maintenance of
these two sources will create jobs and produce revenue for the communities around
it. Also, with the use of this clean and infinite energy, oil will become a less
valuable commodity, ceasing the conflicts and the environmental disasters
associated with it.
4. Food and Nutrition
America is the most obese country in the world and the White
Rose Party will not tolerate that any longer. We will limit the
number of fast food chains in every square mile and will levy taxes on
processed foods. We will demand that the all restaurants in the U.S.
provide nutrition information and an ingredient list for every item
served. We will ban food additives known to cause health problems
(e.g. trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, common
food dyes, etc.). The White Rose Party heavily endorses organically
grown produce, farmer’s markets, and community gardening.
5. Education
The United States ranks 25 in Mathematics, 17 in
Science, and 14 in Reading. The White Rose Party aims to put
our nation in the top 10! We will achieve this by following the
standards of the countries that dominate in education. We must create
a strong societal belief that education is a top priority and support
the notion that our nation’s educators are unsung heroes, for they are
the men and women who are guiding the future leaders of America.
Accompanying the prioritization of education, we will have higher
standards. Passing scores for the high school exit exams, such as
proficiencies, will be raised to encourage the efforts of teachers and
students all across the states.
6. Gun Control
The White Rose Party supports our people’s right to bear arms. We
believe that it is unconstitutional for anybody to try to strip that right away
from American citizens. That being said, we believe that while everyone is free to
own and operate a firearm, we must implement more safety guidelines that
firearm retailers and owners must abide by before selling and or purchasing a
gun. Any person who wishes to purchase a gun, must undergo a mandatory
psychological examination, along with criminal background checks and drug
screenings. This mandatory exam is a precaution to prevent events such as the
Columbine High School Massacre and the more recent Isla Vista killings.
It will be a requirement that any person who owns a gun has an area to store
it in where anyone in said person’s household who haven’t passed the
psychological, drug, and criminal checks can not access it. The White Rose
Party knows that guns don’t kill people, people do and we will do our best to
protect our country’s Second Amendment rights while maintaining the safety of
our citizens.
7. Abortion
The White Rose Party is a pro-choice party. We
understand that the decision of bearing or aborting a life lies solely in
the hands of the mother and that no third party should interfere with
her right to choose. While we know that the parents of this unborn
life should have taken precaution and should take responsibility for
their actions, we believe that every American has the right to choose
whether or not they want to take on the challenge of parenthood. The
White Rose Party will gladly fund Planned Parenthood along with
any other organizations that provide mothers with safe and legal
abortion services and provide anyone with sex education, STD
screenings, and contraception.
