Questions about the American Centrist Party?

Question: This website mentions that Centrism is being independent politically, shouldn’t and independent not support any political party?

Answer: The ACP is only a party for organizational purposes. If the ACP can influence the Democrats or Republicans to get their act together for real. Great!! Mission accomplished!! The totally real the independent centrist movement needs coherent direction. That is not to say everyone must think and do the same but there needs to be more cohesiveness in action and cooperation, which is where the ACP tries to fit in.

Question: So what makes the American Centrist Party different from other parties?

 Answer: The ACP is a party that is open to anyone regardless of political thought who believes in democracy and working together to solve America’s problems.  America is a great nation and has a lot of positive things going for it, mainly, its people and their determination. However there are a lot of problems and the ACP believes and will work together within itself and with others to make America’s best days ahead of us instead of behind. Also our platform not only states the stands of the ACP but also how we plan to bring that about financially and in implementation.

Question: Won’t the ACP eventually fall into the same trap of partisan politics that other parties have?

Answer: No, not as long as ACP members and the American people remain active in making sure the ACP represents the interest of the American people. The ACP will not fall into the trap of partisan politics. The ACP is about solutions not spin. The ACP is about participation not partisanship. The ACP itself is only a “political party” for the sake of organizational purposes to draw concerned active people together for the common good of America. The ACP does not exist to serve itself but the American people.

Question: Money dominates the political landscape of America. How does the ACP expect to overcome that?

Answer: In most aspects of American life money is an important tool and it is important in politics. Also and even more important is the voice and actions of everyday Americans. Everyday Americans are what drives the ACP and makes up its membership. Together with voices, actions and patience the ACP will grow. Votes still make elections. Money will come along with growth as long as the ACP shows that working together we can make America better. The ACP will show that America can be better.

Question: Does the ACP plan on running a Presidential candidate in near future?

Answer: It depends on the candidate and the situation. The ACP has already helped Republican and Democratic and Independent candidates on the local, state and federal level. The ACP is still growing and compared to the “Big Two” parties is still very small. However, the ACP currently has members in 50 states in America. Our plan is to be around for the long haul, not just one election. The ACP wants to develop Americans who want to make their local communities, state or nation better. We are growing a firm base on local and state levels that will help us to grow stronger in the coming years. The government is made up of more than just the President and the ACP will focus on changing more than just the Presidency.

Question: How does the ACP work?

Answer: The ACP is run by its members. ACP members vote on all platform issues and even nominate those issues. The ACP is overseen by a National Committee and each state is overseen by a State Committee. The ACP is guided by laws that make sure the party represents the membership and defines the actions and responsibilities of its committee leaders.
