The Republican Party Platform is the official statement of positions taken by the national Republican Party concerning controversial political issues.

The new platform is then adopted at about the same time as the formal nomination of the Party's candidates for president and vice president.
Each state is represented by a man and a woman on the committee that drafts and approves the platform for consideration by the all the delegates to the convention.[1]
The 2008 Republican Party Platform is 58 pages long and focuses on these issues:[2]
