Political Parties Essay, Research Paper

As I quickly near the legal voting age, I find myself faced with a big decision

; should I register as a democrat, as my forefathers before me have or , check

into some of these other political parties. -After much consideration, I decided

to see what all the commotion was about. What a surprise it was to me to see

that there were parties other that Democrats, Republicans and Liberals.

Political parties server some useful purposes in the U.S. political system.

They are , in fact , handy vehicles for accomplishing one essential purpose of

politics….winning elections (1)

In the upcoming pages, I have given at least a brief description of the Political

Parties I have found. The ones that interested me the most I researched more

in depth.

Until I began researching this paper, I really never dreamed there was this

many political parties…..I had only heard of Democrats and Republicans. Boy

was I in for a surprise .

1. American Reform Party – free-standing, national group that formally split

from Ross Perot and his Dallas-based Reform Party.; On October 3 to 5,

1997, an historic convention of state Reform Pprinciples of reform espoused

by Ross Perot, the new party has formally split from Mr. Perot and his

2. Communist Party U.S.A. ; Marxist-Leninist working-class party that

unites Black, Brown and white, men and women, youth and seniors.

For some reason, I could not even be attentive to this info. I guess it is a

predjudice instilled in me since a child

3. Confederate Party of America – Now this caught my eye. I am a

member of the Confederate Sons of America (ggrandfather and ggrandfather

were Confederate Soldiers)so I thought this one would really be worth

looking into, but as it turnd out, I do not believe a lot of common sense is

used here. The Confederate Party believes in abolishing the IRS and

establishing a National Sales Tax (NST) and is supposed to be a party of

common sense. The Confederate Party believes in a government that our

founding fathers designed — a government that serves us — the people. The

citizens of the United States are not servants to the government. Americans

should not be enslaved nor dependent upon a government that consistently

violated the Constitution of the United States of America. Election after

election has given us Republican and Democratic administrations that are

incapable of managing the nation’s affairs competently, justly, or lawfully.

The Confederate Party supports State’s Rights and ensuring the unalienable

right of every American to Life, Liberty, Property, and the Pursuit of

Happiness by defending the Constitution of the United States of America. We

believe in abolishing the IRS and establishing a National Sales Tax

4. Constitutionalist Party – new political party dedicated to the

advancement of human liberty and adherence to the U.S. Constitution.

.Creator’s Rights Party

5. Democratic Party .Democratic Socialists of America ,

Democratic Party stands not only for working people, but for bringing people who are

poor and disenfranchised into the system to make us all a part of a better society.

Democrats often refer to themselves as the Part of Hope, and refer to their counterpart,

The Republicans, as The Party of Memory. Democrats believe in moving on. As Senator

Ted Kennedy once said, “…the fundamental appeal of the Democratic Party has always

been grounded in the principles of fairness,opportunity , equal justice for ail and a firm

belief that the mission of government is not to stand on the sidelines,but to be active in

pursuing these goals for the people.” (4)

Our family has been democrats for generations but when I ask my dad for a

definition of a democrat. His reply was simply , ” Hes a damn good man”.

You don’t even want to know his definition of a republican.

6. Green Party This Party’s first priority is said to be value-based politics, in

contrast to a system extolling exploitation, consumption, and non-sustainable

competition.They believe in an alternative, independent politics and active,

responsible government. They believe in empowering citizens and

communities and offer hope and a call to action.

7. Labor Party , A dream it is, sounds good but would never work

Goals:

1. Amend the Constitution to Guarantee Everyone a Job at a Living Wage

2. Pay Laid-off Workers Two Months Severance for Every Year of Service

3. Restore Workers Rights to Organize, Bargain and Strike

4. End Bigotry: An Injury to One Is an Injury to All

5. Guarantee Universal Access to Quality Health Care
