{"product_id":"our-platform-california-national-party-9781724893376","title":"Our Platform","description":"The California National Party was founded in 2015 to advocate purely for the people of California, without needing to compromise with far-off regions that share little of our culture and values. We are a diverse group representing a wide range of interests and beliefs, and so we have worked hard to craft a platform that reaches a broad consensus on a number of important issues. The platform is divided into ten planks. Here is a brief summary: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eHealthcare: \u003c\/b\u003e Universal Single Payer.
