LPA: Happy New Year to all. 2005 was not a good year for Liberals as a whole, but the last two months of the year were somewhat exiting. The Liberal Party of America was formed, and now we have a place to hang our hats (If you want to call it that). We welcome all Liberals that are tired of the machine politics of both the Democrats and Republicans, to join with us to make 2006 a swing to Liberalism in America.
Another good sign is that we now have Liberal Party members in California, the most populous state in the country. We hope that Californians will support our Liberal goals. They have had a rough time of it out there as far as political processes go. It seems that money and celebrity status have been the driving force in State politics, and I'm sure that the Liberals in that great state will be glad to have a place to focus on the real issues that are before our country.
We will be adding to our platform and our overview in the next few days. We acually are ready to endorse (or support) a few candidates around the county. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, please post them in the comments section. We are a VERY small party that is just getting organized, so any input from you will be welcomed and considered. This is a democratic party, with no solid entrenched leadership , so please feel free to get involved and help us in our decision making processes.
Meanwhile, have a great holiday today, and think about some of the things that you want the party to focus on in 2006. Together, we can bring some change to this country that for too long now, has been run by corporations, and the military-industrial complex. Let this year be the year that we take America back from the rightist elite, and put it back in the hands of it's citizens.
