U.S. Independent American Party (IAP)

Postby Tumbleweed on Sat Jul 07, 2007 9:03 am

I'm not real familar with Independent parties but I can see why they can't seem to form a functional political party. There are too many splinter groups to allow Independents a unified voice.IMO. I'll try to cover a few of them but their platforms seem to be all over the place as far as beliefs go.

Party Website

U.S. Independent American Party (IAP)

The Preamble of our National Platform states:

"The Constitution for the United States of America was established as an inspired ensign and standard of liberty for all. It is the only constitution based foremost upon the rights and liberties of a free and independent people who are superior to government, having government as their servant rather than as their master. We revere the founding documents of America, honor the men who framed them, and ascribe all honor and glory to the God who inspired them. We claim, second to worshiping God, that our greatest responsibility as Americans is vigilance in protecting our God-given Constitution and rights, both for ourselves and our posterity.

We assert that we are in a Constitutional crisis. The major provisions of the Constitution are being compromised and our God-given rights are being intruded upon or eliminated at an alarming rate. Our educational, economic, social, and political institutions are becoming more perverted. The rights and nature of our national sovereignty, Judeo-Christian heritage, and traditional family, are under escalating attack. We solemnly declare that our Constitution, liberties, and national sovereignty currently hang by a thread. We assert that institutionalized corruption and the loss of our rights and liberties are unconstitutional, unacceptable and inexcusable.

We claim that our Constitutional Republic can still be fully restored by lawful means, but only to the extent that We The People stand united and vigilant, as never before, in the cause of freedom.

That has always been the prob with independent parties, most were one issue parties and as such were very ineffectual.

I'm sure I haven't uncovered all of them yet like the Communist Party but I'll post any of the Independent parties I find. The Independents seem to focus on a state level more so than on a national level.

That is an old strategy, state and loical, then move on to national. They think that with local knowledge they would have a better chance with state and then with state it would give thenm a stage to go national. Good plan, unfortunately, not many have listened in the past.

I can understand their strategy on local and state level, but when they join in on a national level they are quite a splintered group.

Sad huh? I personally want to hear exactly what is to be done, not some vague BS. I do not think they have a chance.

There are a lot of Independent and undecided voters these days but trying to pick through all the different Independent platforms is a nightmare.

It seems each state has their own Independent Party and from what I can see there are no 2 platforms alike. If they could establish a national platform they would be a force to contend with.IMO.

Good observation! like I have said in the past, without a national consenus they are just spinning their wheels in the mud.

I view Independents the same as Liberals. It seems to be more of a word game than any one classification of ideology. They need a national platform to unite all these splinter groups.

Even if they do come up with a platform consensus, I feel that Unity will steal a whole bunch of their thunder.

The Reform Party was on track to become a contender unitl they ended up bickering and thier support started dwindling.

The only proib I have with so-called independet candidates, they are still indebted to some political machine along the way. They are NOT truly independent.

If they want campaign financing to get elected there has to be a trade-off somewhere. They can't get elected without the support of special interest groups. The only way I see around that would be pubic financing.
