Why the American Party

The central focus of the American Party is to increase the economic global competitiveness of our states and our country, by focusing on the implementation of common ground solutions. We advocate the following approaches:

• Decrease the National debt while ensuring a strong national defense and essential social programs through a deliberate, balanced, and comprehensive approach that will not do damage to our economic recovery
• Create a strong, choice-driven public school system that encourages innovation, rigor, and success for all children with an increased emphasis on early childhood education
• Create an efficient, effective health care system that emphasizes preventative care and encourages healthy lifestyles for all Americans
• Reform Campaign Funding by doing away with the effects of recent Supreme Court rulings by legislation and/or amendment; requiring immediate and total transparency and posting all donors and amounts regardless of source within five business days of receipt
• Reform Ethics Legislation by requiring the annual disclosure of all sources of income from elected officials. Have stand-alone ethics commissions at state and federal levels to investigate, enforce, and discipline
• Provide strong, unequivocal support for the Second Amendment - coupled with universal background checks and strengthened mental health programs
• Initiate comprehensive tax reform to acquire a simpler, fairer tax system that supports economic growth and encourages work, savings, and investment
• Implement a comprehensive immigration policy that provides a responsible pathway to citizenship, encouragement of high skill and high knowledge immigration, employer accountability, and a strengthened national border

Polls show what the majority of voters really want:

• Term Limits - Public servants, not career politicians who worship the god of re-election
• Elected officials who place the common good and problem-solving above party loyalty and partisanship.
• Ethical behavior, transparency and accountability
• A focus on solving our nation's economic and competitiveness issues without the distractions of "single-issue," divisive politics.
