It doesn’t bear his name of course, but wasn’t it formed in mid to late 2008 after Keyes failed to win the nomination of first, the Republican Party, and then second, the Constitution Party, and then he ran as it’s Presidential candidate?

Grassroots conservatives who found both John Judas McCain’s liberalism and the Constitution Party’s isolationism completely unacceptable put him on the ballot by completely grassroots means, because they wanted a choice on their ballot that fit their conscience. A personhood pro-life, moral conservative, peace through strength, constitutionalist choice. What exactly is your problem with that?

Not that I expect an honest or decent answer from a proven lying troll and thread stalker.

For fun, let's pretend for a couple of minutes that you're an honest observer and commentator, one who knows how to listen, think, and respond with decency and respect.

The writer of the piece at the head of this thread is suggesting that a multitude of small and efficient independent local groups would be superior to a few large national groups in our fight to save our country. Having in over twenty years of activism observed the compromises and utter failure of almost all of the national political organizations, I agree, which is why we set America's Independent Party up the way we did, and named it as we did.

The national party is run on a completely grassroots basis. All volunteer. We don't even take donations. The national organization is nothing more than the main hub where our platform, ie our shared principles, reside. It is there simply as the principled connector for thousands of independent state parties, county parties, precinct committees, proven principled grassroots local and state issues organizations, independent activists, and last but certainly not least, principled Reagan conservative candidates.

If someone says they want to donate money, we simply advise them not to give it to national organizations, but to give it directly to vetted candidates and front line grassroots activism. That is our policy.

And we do all this not on the basis of any affiliate's or candidate's party registration, but on the basis of continuous adherence to the core principles of true principled American constitutional republicanism.

All of which means that my commentary on this thread is appropriate. We're not just talking about it, we're actually doing it, as thoroughly and speedily as we can.

It's gratifying to see citizens like this writer, Ned Ryun, thinking these important matters through. I applaud him.
