GOP changes for the worse

-

In response to the writer who wondered if President Kennedy is turning in his grave because of what happened to his party, I question whether President Eisenhower is turning in his grave for the same reason.

The 1956 Republican platform when Eisenhower was running for his second term as president was 1. Provide federal assistance to low-income communitie­s; 2. Protect Social Security; 3. Provide asylum for refugees; 4. Extend minimum wage; 5. Improve unemployme­nt benefit system so it covers more people; 6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union; 7. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex. Oh my, how the Republican Party has changed. Sounds more like President Biden’s objectives to me. Beverly A. Saylor
