Politics

The Democratic Party is committed to keeping our nation safe and expanding opportunity for every American. That commitment is reflected in an agenda that emphasizes the strong economic growth, affordable health care for all Americans, retirement security, open, honest and accountable government, and securing our nation while protecting our civil rights and liberties.

The Republican Party believes that the United States has been blessed with a unique set of individual rights and freedoms available to all. The Republican Party believes in the value of voluntary giving and community support over taxation and forced redistribution. The Republican Party, like our nation's founders, believes that government must be limited so that it never becomes powerful enough to infringe on the rights of individuals.

Libertarians believe in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise, and personal responsibility. Libertarians believe that being free and independent is a great way to live. We want a system which encourages all people to choose what they want from life. The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.

The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors.
