American, Party of One

You know, maybe I've been going at this dislike of political parties all wrong.  Sure, they have accomplished nothing but to polarize the american public and completely defeat the purpose of electing representatives who represent the will of the people but hey, maybe there's another way to go about this.

Here's my effort at creating a party that might actually get done what the others fail to do, some intentionally so.

1) The Constitution is the final word, it is as it is written.

2) The Constitution is not malleable, it does not change to fit any individual or specific group of people, but all people are to make the effort to live up to the Constitution.

3) The only "Greater Good" is that which ensures that all people equally are able to access and exercise their individual liberties.  Anything that attempts to supersede that by granting special rights and privileges to particular groups or collections of people is undermining the greater good that is the collection of individual American citizens.

4) The government does not have as a purpose to "protect" any individual, but rather to protect that all individuals rights are protected.  Individuals should be able to protect themselves, their families and their property as best they are able.

5) Elected representatives are seen as fulfilling a voluntary service to their community and to their country, much as the individuals who choose to volunteer as soldiers. They are not considered to be part of an elite class of citizens above or beyond the capacities and abilities of any other citizens.

6) Elected representatives are expected to be held to an ideal of respect for their office and to expect they are above such corruptions such as coercion, bribery and false representation.  If they cannot be trusted to be better than that, they are not worthy of holding elected office.

7) Members of Party of One are expected to stand for an ideal of "one voice, one vote".  Think for yourself, speak for yourself.

When you join the Party of One, you are expected to educate yourself on the topics facing your community and your country.  You are expected to elect representatives who have the ethical, moral and logical capacity to rightfully fulfill their role as an elected representative.  It is your responsibility to make sure to communicate with said elected representatives to ensure they are aware of the will of the people they represent.  Don't wait for them to ask you, you take the initiative and let them know.

America is not a collective of people.  It is an agreement, one by one, of individuals who voluntarily choose to work together as required and desired to exercise the recognized inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness for every individual.

The Party of One has only the goal of vetting candidates who exemplify the expressed interests and purposes as described above and don't certify anything more than the potential representatives in question have thus far shown themselves to be free of duress, undue influence and corruption.  Their individual platforms are their own and they speak for themselves as they present themselves to the people for consideration.The Party of One.  Think for yourself, speak for yourself.

Who's with me?
