| Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (7968 words) |
 | The Republican Party has demanded reforms in the UN and opposes the Kyoto Protocol because of the Protocol's uneven application to countries around the world, because they believe it is likely to slow economic growth and the reduction of poverty, and because of disputes concerning the science behind it. |
 | The religious wing of the party supports prayer in the public schools, and (in some cases) says creationism should be taught to children as a counterpoint to evolution, which it denounces as unbiblical. |
 | The new party was created in 1854 as an act of defiance against what activists denounced as the Slave Power--the powerful class of slaveholders who were conspiring to control the federal government and to spread slavery nationwide. |
