PoliticsOnline: The DNC invited help writing platform in 2000
  Although the main order of business at the convention will be to select the Democratic nominee, party leaders will also take the opportunity to write, argue about, and vote on the Democratic platform for the upcoming election. That platform will represent a collection of issues that the Democrats deem to be the most important to the future of America and its citizens.

The presidential candidate may adapt part of the party platform as his own. Most candidates, however, develop their own stands on their own issues, which usually reflect the party's positions, but does not strictly follow the platform.
