The
so-called Third Parties in the American
political landscape usually sit in the
shadow of the dominant Democratic and
Republican parties. In the past,
certain third parties have influenced
presidential elections, typically by
helping split vital votes from one of
the larger parties. Here are links to
some of America's current smaller
political parties. Communist
Party U.S.
--"We are a Marxist-Leninist working-class
party that unites Black, Brown and white,
men and women, youth and seniors. We are a
Party that speaks out from a working-class
point of view on every vital issue. The
People's Weekly World is our voice and the
voice of labor, of all militant movements
for social progress. We are a party of
unity in action. We are an integral part
of every struggle and movement for change
to eliminate poverty and joblessness,
against racism and for full equality. We
are participants, initiators and leaders
of every movement to make life better now
and much better in a socialist future."
*Philosophical
statement is from the Communist Party
Website. * The
Democratic Socialists of America
(DSA)
--"We
are socialists because we reject an
international economic order sustained by
private profit, alienated labor, race and
gender discrimination, environmental
destruction, and brutality and violence in
defense of the status quo. We
are socialists because we share a vision
of a humane international social order
based both on democratic planning and
market mechanisms to achieve equitable
distribution of resources,meaningful work,
a healthy environment, sustainable growth,
gender and racial equality, and
non-oppressive relationships."
*Philosophical
statement is from the Democratic
Socialists of America Website.
* Green
Party--
"The Greens/Green Party USA is part of the
worldwide movement that promotes
ecological wisdom, social justice,
grassroots democracy and non-violence."
*Descriptive
statement is from the Green Party Website.
* Libertarian
Party
--"The Libertarian way is a logically
consistent approach to politics based on
the moral principle of self-ownership.
Each individual has the right to control
his or her own body, action, speech, and
property. Government's only role is to
help individuals defend themselves from
force and fraud."
*Philosophical statement is from the
Libertarian Website. * Natural
Law Party--"The
Natural Law Party stands for
prevention-oriented government,
conflict-free politics, and proven
solutions designed to bring national life
into harmony with natural law."
*Philosophical
statement is from the Natural Law Party
Website. * The
New Party--"The
New Party believes that the social,
economic, and political progress of the
United States requires a democratic
revolution in America -- the return of
power to the people. Our basic purpose --
reflected both in our own governance and
in our aspirations for the nation -- is to
make that revolution happen. At present,
in America, the people do not rule. And
they must, if we and our children are to
lead lives of dignity, decency, and
fulfillment." *Philosophical
statement is from the New Party Website.
* Reform
Party
--" We, the members of the Reform Party,
commit ourselves to political system.
Together we will work to re-establish
trust in our government by electing
ethical officials, dedicated to fiscal
responsibility and political
accountability."*Mission
statement is from the Reform Party
Website. * Socialist
Party
--"The Socialist Party strives to
establish a radical democracy that places
people's lives under their own control --
a non-racist, classless, feminist,
socialist society in which people
cooperate at work, at home, and in the
community." *Philosophical
statement is from the Socialist Party
Website. * The
U.S. Taxpayers
Party--
"The U.S. Taxpayers Party stands
firmly on the principles of government
laid down by our Founding Fathers in the
Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution. Unlike other political
organizations, we do not believe these
principles are outdated. Our government
has become a problem because these
principles are ignored not followed. We
need to return to a government that
protects all innocent life; a government
that protects liberty, not suppresses it;
and a government that allows the free
pursuance of happiness, not regulation of
it. In the spirit of the Declaration of
Independence it is time to remove power
from that 'faraway' government in
Washington, D.C. and return it to the
states and local communities. "
*Philosophical
statement is from the U.S. Taxpayers Party
Website. * Tea
Party Movement --"A
community committed to standing together,
shoulder to shoulder, to protect our
country and the Constitution upon which we
were founded! " *Philosophical
