On contemporary issues VPI endorses renewable energy resources as well as continued drilling and excavation of fossil fuels. VPI has endorsed and supported California Proposition 8 which eliminated Californians' right to same-sex marriage. Their economic platform is opposed to the 2008 Wall Street bailout plan, but rather favors a free-market approach and largely blames former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for the mortgage meltdown and subsequent global financial crisis.
