In Iowa, home to the nation's first presidential caucus, members of the Republican Party are beginning work on their state party's platform. At the precinct caucuses in southeast Iowa Social Security privatization was among the proposed platform planks.
From The Hawkeye newspaper:
"Republicans in Henry County also submitted planks for their party's consideration. Stuart Hoff, county chairman, said proposals included supporting school vouchers, fiscal responsibility, holding elected officials accountable and privatizing Social Security.
He said the caucus for his party had people who never attended before and some as young as 14 years old. Formal participants had to be 18."
