	AMERICA NEEDS A NEW POLITICAL PARTY
		The Populists of the late 19th Century, and the Progressives of the early 20th Century, failed to replace either the Democratic or Republican Party, but did force them to adopt their issues.
		They insisted on confronting issues the two major parties were incapable of addressing — slavery in the first instance, and the need for state and federal regulation of meat packing, drugs, the stock market, civil service, etc. in the second.
		For anyone who believes America needs a new party and that campaign reform and a balanced budget are two issues which are unlikely to be solved by the existing parties, this was a wasted opportunity.

		According to conventional parlance, the Democratic Party represents the "Left" of the political spectrum, and the Republican Party represents the "Right"--although Republican strategists often abandon traditional party principles in an attempt to attract independent votes in the mythical "Center." The result is a GOP that too-often resembles the Democratic Party and ignores its conservative base.
		Other political parties can act as sounding boards to reflect their agenda and hope that some part of it will be picked up by either major party to use as their own issue.
		God has provided an alternative party, the Constitution Party www.constitutionparty.org We have a document which should bind the Federal behemoth to its proper place, that document is the U.S. Constitution and the only party that has a platform and a plan to return us to our constitutional roots is the Constitution Party.
