WHAT Is THE AMERICAN PARTY?
The American party represents an effort to organize into
one group the vast number OF loyal and faithful Americans
who find it impossible to further condone or ignore the mer-
eenary disagreement of the Democratic and Republican
parties. The arrogance in authority of both parties has made
them immune to the corrective action of criticism and unor-
ganized opposition, and their contempt of obedience of ac-
cepted rules of human conduct IS a grim omen of a %forbidding
future, With their backlog CT political debts and their trad-
tlon oil deceit, hypocrisy, and political dishonesty neither party
offers any possibility of dent and efficient government. Our
only recourse in these grim days is the organization of a new
party; one rooted in the faith, ideals and principles of our
founding fathers.
Here, briefly, are a few points which distinguish the A
merican party from all other political parties of today.
l. In Article the American party states its conviction
that rules of human conduct which have stood the test of CEN
.urles must be accepted as standard by all Americans, those
IN authority as well as those in private life, While few of us
agree on all the technicaities of religion, all of US accept the
presence and authority of a Higher Power; we agree that there
is no God but God. When our leaders set themselves above the
rules of conduct prescribed for human by the Almighty, then
we invite national destruction. The awful devastation visited
on Nazi Germany is a recent example.
e. The American party restricts its membership to all
loyal and faithful Americans. This restriction automatically
olsquallfies Communists and all other totaitarian personnel.
3. The American party is organized on the principle that
Wherever you demand responsibility you must provide author
ity; that whatever you provide authority responsibility must
be accepted. You will see that theme running throughout our
party organization. Because of the oigarohic organization of
the Democratic and Republican parties, once their candidates
are elected into office the rank and file have absolutely no
control over their actions or policies. Note how different is
the organization of the American party.
Z. The American party declares that a strong, aggressive,
and intelligent opposition is an absolute necessity for honest
and efficient government. An intelligent majority will well
come and profit by the criticism and opposition of an energetic
minority The American party wants none of the me too OPP
position INDUCED in by the Republican party.
). The American party declares that Communist Russia
the deadly enemy of America; that every temporary truce is
Just aholher maneuver to further weaken and isolate us for
the death blow. This conviction is based on the knowledge
mat Communism cannot remain static; it must attack and de-
stroy if it is to survive. Communism is the science of sub
human brutality ignorance, and terror; it cannot stand the
TEST OF reason and therefore must destroy all competition. The
iron curtain shuts in all questions; shuts out all answers.
The American party believes that today the greatest
threat TO the security and existence of America as a free
nation is the continued INSCRIPTIONS, mercenary, and irreso-
lutte leadership of the Democratic and Republican parties In
comparison, Communist Russia is a secondary menace The
