This Month's Message January 2007 This new year has started out with a ray of hope. The Secretary of State has recorded on their webpate that the voter registrations of the American Independent Party have increased to 320,000. All of the other parties HAVE LOST REGISTRATIONS. And too, ever since the new State Voter Guides have come out, the phone has been ringing off the hook. There have been hundreds of people becoming dissatisfied with the two major parties, and have decided to join our party. Many have told me that they were impressed with our STATEMENT OF PURPOSE in the voter's guide. . However, many people who have called are unsure exactly what the AMERICAN INDEPENDENT PARTY stands for. They seem to think our party is is a DECLINE TO STATE type party. Yet some seem to think they just want to "MAKE A STATEMENT." "Because by declaring ourselves independents, we're saying we don't like what the political parties are doing to our country." is what many people are telling me. This is the definition of "independent voter" on Wikipedia : "An independent voter is an enrolled voter who is explicitly not a member of any political party... those voters who's specific affiliation is not represented by a political party or who subscribe to an ideology other than those which are espoused by major political parties... desire for original and independent thought (author's emphasis)." For some voters, to be independent may mean they do not automatically vote for one dominant party or the other, but rather consider the "lesser of two evils" theory in choosing which party to vote for. Underlying this is the belief in the premise that there are significant differences between the two dominant parties, as miniscule as they may be. Still, others, arguably the smaller group, believe that to be truly independent is to vote one's convictions as opposes to voting for the candidate with the best chance of winning, even if that means voting for a third party candidate who may not have any real chance at all. I believe I fall into this latter group. We, who have been long time members of the American Independent Party, need to spread the word that there IS AN ALTERNATIVE. A real party, with a real party platform. We are INDEPENDENT of the two big box parties and we have a completely different vision for our State and our community than do the two mainstream parties. We are fresh, we are here and we are ready. Sincerely, Edward C. Noonan State Party Chairman - American Independent Party Archives Jan 2008 Dec 2007 Aug 2007 Jul 2007 Jun 2007 Apr 2007 Mar 2007 Feb 2007 Statewide Headquarters: 1561 N.
