As the Executive Director of the Stewardship Foundation I wondered as I listened to the subsequent discussion, isn\u2019t the platform an important structure upon which to build the party\u2019s argument for election? \u00a0Doesn\u2019t the platform express the vision and mission of the party?\u00a0 And, isn\u2019t the platform the outline of ideas expressing the party\u2019s intent and action plan? Isn\u2019t it what the Democrats \u2018say\u2019 that they believe?<\/p>\n<p>While it is not my intent to contrast the principles of the two parties, I am compelled to notice that the RNC coverage focused on what they can build, whereas the TV coverage of the DNC was more about what they can disavow, dismantle, or ignore.\u00a0 As the Executive Director of the Stewardship Foundation I want you to know that we encourage you to build your family legacy and express your values, mission, and vision.\u00a0 We also encourage you to build your \u201cplatform\u201d, which should support your values and vision.\u00a0 Know that the platform that you entrust to the SF will not be ignored or forgotten, but rather it will be foundational in the investments and donations that we make on your behalf for generations to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my last blog I wrote I was intrigued by the phrase, \u201cWe can Build It\u201d that was prevalent during the Republican National Convention.
