1. Recruit conservative members from all walks of life for local, state and federal offices who will only commit to serving two terms.
2. All Patriots to donate $1.00 per week to the Committee to Elect Patriots.
3. Prepare a quarterly report to account for the millions of dollars sent in and expended.
4.Create an “electronic voting receipt” by taking a cell phone snap shot of your completed ballot and sending it to a central computer to combat voting fraud.

Now list the ones that do not..............(hint...I “have” looked at a map). And of equal importance...where is that food going to come from that they are supposedly going to import by water?? Brazil?? China certainly can’t supply it.

Dumb idea imo.

For better or worse this is a “two party system”.

Right now the party registration breakdown is:

Democrats = 39.66%

Independents = 29.09%

Republicans = 28.87%

Rather than forming a 3rd party it would be easier and more effective imo to cleanse the Republican Party while
actively inviting Independents to join.

They say the country is divided 50 / 50, if the 28% Republican base could join with just half of the Independents 15% that would be 43% of the registered. It would make it harder for the Dems to claim victory when there’s more registered Republicans, right now Republicans start in a hole and now some want to make it even harder.

As a party one thing we can do is demand our politicians retire at age 65, this one act would do the most to drain the swamp and I think a lot of Indys would join on that alone.

>>Third parties never do well.

Yeah, that upstart Republican party never had any influence once they broke from the Whigs.

I've been saying this for years! No need to secede - cut out the cancer, starve them out. Let them have their little islands of socialism, crime and debt for as long as they can keep them.

Thoughts on Free America: The nation's capitol should be in Nebraska or Kansas - some place easily defended and in touch with the real America.
They could take a lesson from Texas - part time legislature with deadlines to get things done.

More like 90+. Don’t forget, they reduced President Trump’s vote counts at times, to give to joe fraudster.

If uneducated Somali pirates with AKs can take over a ship I imagine a fleet of pizzed off Patriots can reroute, discourage or blockade most shipping. Disabling dredges will put a dent in quite a few too.

Don’t form a new party. Co-opt a party that exists — with its own beautiful logo.

PDJT should announce that he’s changing his voter registration to the Constitution Party. Announce when the Senate hearings are finished.

Within five days, 50,000,000 current GOP voters will be changing theirs, too.

That’s the whole point. We want RINOs and GOPes to go elsewhere.

They consider themselves to be patriots so they wouldn’t hesitate to try to lead our parade.

The party needs definition and differentiation.

RINOs and GOPes would not want to try leading a social conservative populist party, because they don’t consider themselves to be socon populists.

They think of themselves to be the rationalist - realist- compromist - good ole boys.

I feel exactly the same about GOPes and RINOs like you but when we leave the party , there’s no reason for you parade jumpers to leave because you got what you wanted.

So a person who has generated multiple abortions considers themselves pro-life? That makes no sense.

The GOP is already planning their move to hijack it before it even begins.

Look what they did to the Tea Party.

"EU, Australia, Argentina? Need I go on?"

Nope. EU needs its own fodder internally. If US crops aren't available for export, China will need all Australia can produce, and more. Argentina is mostly beef. FWIW, I grew up on a farm, and my brother farmed as a career, so I have a reasonable background on who produces what, and how much. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/100615/4-countries-produce-most-food.asp

If Trump succeeds in this endeavor, I wonder how many actual conservatives would join him?

There are 75 million+ people who would want their representatives to be a part of it.

Just imagine what he could do!!!
