American 3rd Party Policies. A brief introduction.

In this blog I will be discussing three Political Parties of the United States of America. However they will be the Constitution Party, the Communist Party and the Pacifist Party. Such third parties are often ignored by the mainstream media and rely on the internet to get their views out to the public. I will start with a brief introduction to the parties.

Constitution Party was founded in 1992 as the US Taxpayers Party. In 1999 the Party changed its name to better reflect its platform. The party labels itself as neither conservative nor liberal and simply states that it desires to base United States laws and policy on the strict interpritation of the United States Constitution.

Communist Party of the United States was founded in 1919. This Party works to install socialist reform in the United States. It desires a Socialist rather than Democratic system that puts its citizens before the profiting of the government. This is based on the ideas of Marx-Leninism.

Pacifist Party was founded in 1983. This party is non violent and is opposed to war and any spending of the United States government on any form of violence. The Pacifist Party has been utilizing the internet to get its platform out to the public since 1996 to promote its ideology.
