Thanks for writing. Evangelicals stand up for the Scripture and how it addresses all of life. That is what the document said. So if that is what you consider key, and you have concerns in these areas, then the manifesto does address your concern and affirms your key commitment to be a faithful believer. In fact that is the chief concern. The only other issue beyond what is believed is how the issues are engaged. There is no pandering to groups or the media here. The document speaks affirming the right to life and the sanctity of marriage. Be sure you read the document, not what others say about it or merely looked at who signed on.
