American Patriot Party - The [image]http://www.politics1.com/pix1/ampatriotparty.jpg[/image]The APP, established in 2003, was "founded on the basic principals set forth by our founding fathers, that the federal government should only have the powers set forth in the framework of the Constitution and all other power to be delegated back to the states. Although everyone has thier own opinions on all issues, we believe it is up to the states to decide what should and should not be mandated, banned or regulated." The APP supports a crackdown on illegal immigration, making English fluency a requirement of US citizenship, abolishing the IRS and repealing the federal income tax, imposing steeper taxes and tariffs on imported goods, abolition of the centralized Federal Reserve System, withdrawing the US from the Untied Nations, imposing a foreign policy of non-interventionism, and ending federal involvement in education. No candidates fielded to date, but the APP have formed party chapters in several states -- with the Oregon state party group taking the lead in attempting to organize a national effort. The APP vows that their candidates will be "statesmen, not politicians." hate to leave out this one. i truly believe the federal govn't should let the states govr'n themselves and let the federal govn't take care of our country's safety! simply put 'i don't give a cancer stricken rats arse what they do in california!'

DanesDad -> RE: independent candidates 2008 (9/7/2008 11:52:35 PM)
No matter how you vote in the national election, PLEASE vote against any incumbents in any state races. Pa state government is corrupt beyond belief and that's the only way it will change.

So, you are basically Libertarians. LIBERTARIAN PARTY - The LP, founded in 1971, bills itself as "America's largest third party" (and, along with the Greens, are definitely among the two largest third parties in the nation). The Libertarians are neither left nor right: they believe in total individual liberty (pro-drug legalization, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-home [image]http://www.politics1.com/pix/edclark.jpg[/image]schooling, anti-gun control, etc.) and total economic freedom (anti-welfare, anti-government regulation of business, anti-minimum wage, anti-income tax, pro-free trade, etc.). danesdad, there is a big contrast in both parties as i see it. i take it as libertarians want the govn't to still rule each state in the way they see fit. the app wants each state to provides it's own laws under the constitution.
