A party platform, also known as a manifesto, is a list of the actions which a political party supports in order to appeal to the general public for the purpose of having said party's candidates voted into office. This often takes the form of a list of support for, or opposition to, controversial topics. Individual topics are often called planks of the platform.

Q. If the Federalist Party under John Adams had a political platform, what stances would it include?
Asked by kf6203 - Thu Nov 5 12:48:42 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. -Strict interpretation of the constitution. -Tax cuts for the wealthy.

Are they happy now Singer Feliciano protests Feliz Navidad parody never a vehicle for a political platform?
Q. NEW YORK (AP) Grammy-winner Jose Feliciano is outraged that the theme from his holiday song "Feliz Navidad" was used for a musical spoof about undocumented immigrants. Feliciano released a statement Wednesday saying that he was "revolted beyond words" and that the song was created to be a bridge between cultures and "never as a vehicle for a political platform of racism and hate." The parody, titled "The Illegal Alien Christmas Song," was produced for radio by Matt Fox and A.J. Rice of the show "The Fox and Rice Experience" and posted on the conservative Web site HumanEvents.com. Human Events Editor Jed Babbin apologized for posting the song and said it would be removed from the site. The Puerto Rican-born Feliciano composed "Feliz… [cont.]

A. I think it's hilarious. It's on *U-TOOB*. People need to lighten up. Every single sentence in that song is TRUE. Whether we like it or not, whether we agree or not, it's TRUE! I'm Hispanic and I'm not in the least bit offended by it!
