This Blog Will Save The World: Creating a New Party

This Blog Will Save The World

In 1797, as George Washington gave his farewell address upon leaving office, he warned against the âbaneful spirit of factionâ as a disruptive force to a successful democracy; a successful America. Though his farewell address is read aloud to Congress every year, his words have gone mostly unheeded and two major political parties have dominated the political scene since he left office. Increasingly, the battle for the political parties in power to âwinâ in the political game has driven the two sides further apart and left them unwilling to compromise. This has left the vast majority of Americans in the gulf between these two parties looking at two alternatives that neither represent their interests nor have any interest in them. Poised on the brink of a political evolution, the time has come for action by this silent majority.

Creating a New Party

Continuing from before:

So how could [getting rid of political parties] be done? By the creation of a new kind of party, one that does not align itself based on political leanings, but rather one that welcomes anyone who honestly wants to see positive change in our government. Left, right, center - as long as one is willing to listen to others, debate, and compromise, then he or she would be welcome in this new party.

What would you call such a party that is of the people, by the people, and for the people? What else?

The America Party.

Who could argue with that?
