This seems to be a new party.

American Patriot Party - The 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." T

he 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."

IMO, another fringe group that has little to no chance of going any further than it is now.

They seem to have a protectionist policy with a bit of Libertarian mixed in with it. I agree, I doubt they will ever get a big nationwide following.

It's sort of comical how these fringe groups stick American or Partriot in there to make people think their views are good for the country, when their real motive is to turn the country upside down and start all over.
