Third party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Third parties are also, in more recent years, used by voters to send a message to the major party nominations that they don't approve of their politics or stances on issues. A prominent historical example is the presidential election of 1892, during which the Populist Party (otherwise known as the People's Party) achieved massive success by U.S. third party standards, picking up 22 electoral votes and 8.6 percent of the popular vote. Advocates of third parties generally object to the notion that votes are "taken away" by third parties, because the phrase "taken away" misleadingly suggests that the two major parties have a propriety ownership interest in voters' votes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Third_party_(United_States)   (3762 words)

Protection of Third Party Information in Research: Recommendations of the National Institutes of Health to the Office for Human Research Protections - December 7, 2001 Information about a third party that is obtained from the research subject as background information about the subject is not generally considered "private." Information of this type is deemed "contextual" since it is usually unverified information and is used to provide background information important to the condition and/or circumstances of the subject. When a living third party’s medical record is sought and private information from it is recorded in such a way that the third party can be identified, the third party becomes a human subject and the need to obtain the consent of that party must be analyzed according to the Common Rule. Risk to either the human subject or the third party from information disclosure is a function of data security and policy. www.nih.gov /sigs/bioethics/nih_third_party_rec.html   (1834 words)

Politics1 - Guide to American Political Parties In the aftermath of the 2000 elections, it is clear that Buchanan failed in his efforts to establish a viable, conservative third party organization (comprised largely of disenchanted Republicans). In the 1998 elections, longtime CPUSA leader Hall actually urged party members to vote for all of the Democratic candidates for Congress -- arguing that voting for any progressive third party candidates would undermine the efforts to oust the "reactionary" Republicans from control of Congress.

Third Parties PBS Third parties often raise issues that major-party presidential candidates neglect, sometimes leading to substantial change in the public dialogue.

Why a Third Party? Four years ago, in Canada, Prime Minister Mulrooney's governing party was not only voted out of office, but reduced to two members in the Canadian Parliament, replaced by an entirely new "third" party, which swept to power. Therefore, the Constitutional Party was formed to provide the people of Pennsylvania with a real political avenue to make their vote count, to provide a political expression of their beliefs and values in elections and in implementing public policy; thereby better serving the purpose of government. We ran candidates for two statewide offices in 1996, have created a party structure, have initiated a party newsletter, and are working on an endorsement system to let you know which candidates in any party are standing firm on the issues. www.constitutional.net /Luksik/why_third.html   (1197 words)

Center for Cultural Leadership If a third party ever grew large enough to be subject to those laws, it would have to be “organized” the very same way. The problem remains that the party is very big: there are 3066 counties in America, and it would require organizing, taking over, and controlling the Republican committee in a majority of the counties in a majority of the states to be able to elect most of the state committees and the national committee. Quite the contrary: the various party organs depend on the officeholders to raise money for them. www.christianculture.com /cgi-local/npublisher/viewnews.cgi?category=3&id=1090811690   (1814 words)

Third party beneficiary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A third party beneficiary, in the law of contracts, is a person who may have the right to sue on a contract, despite not having originally been a party to the contract. It vests when the third party relies on or assents to the relationship, and gives the third party the right to sue either the promisor or the promisee of the contract, depending on the circumstances under which the relationship was created. Because the rights of the third party are defined by the contract created between the promisor and the promisee, the promisor may assert against the beneficiary any defenses to the contract that could be asserted against the promisee. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Third_party_beneficiary   (1814 words)
