We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.

For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.

The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.

We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.

Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.

Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.

We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.

An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.

We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

The plan is to get rid of Citizens United, and crowd fund our own candidates. Will it make them immune to corruption? No, but then we just pull funding and support.

It is always exciting when hearing about new third parties that are outside of the duopoly.

I think third parties need to collaborate with each other to bring the working class together.

Some of them being:

  1. Green Party
  2. Libertarian Party
  3. Party for Socialism & Liberation
  4. American Communist Party (ACP)

Good luck and best wishes!

I agree, I'll reach out to who I can. It's no longer left or right, this is Class War.
