The American Centrist Party’s Plan:

The ACP realizes that change will not happen overnight but is committed to bringing about the change and government Americans need, desire, and deserve. We can only do that be getting people excited, active, and aware of the need for change and for Centrism. That is why the members of the American Centrist Party is committed to growing the grassroots Centrist Movement and secondly using the party as tool to bring about Centrist political change and reform.

        Most leaders in Washington and our state capitols are unlikely to change now, but some may. That is why the ACP is dedicated to helping to inspire and train Americans to run for office and truly become the change they wish to make. We can develop these leaders and change our local communities first which is why the ACP is working to grow at a local and state level and build from there.

      We can compete and get the Centrist message across easier on local and state levels. As new Centrist public servants emerge they will gain experience and can move on to federal posts as the movement grows. The ACP is open and trying to work with like minded groups for change and advancement of the Centrist Movement and for better days for America. It doesn’t matter whether better government comes from the ACP or not. All that matters to the ACP is change for the best government for the American people.

            The ACP is fighting for change right now as we grow. The ACP Action Groups, Blog, Forum, and Live Chat enable members to connect and join their voices together for action now. ACP Action Groups enable the members to work together on issues that concern them to monitor them, educate fellow members and contact government representatives to make their voice and the ACP’s heard. This has been successful and will continue to be.

            The ACP truly cares about our nation and communities, not just votes. That is why the ACP strongly encourages all of our members to volunteer in their communities to help make them better. The ACP encourages its members to volunteer with their religious and faith groups, Habitat for Humanity, mentorship programs, and literacy groups among many others. We can not only change our communities and nation with our political actions and votes but with our dedication, hearts and hard work.

Why should I support, join, and work with the American Centrist Party?

The whole foundation of our American Democracy has been routed in why. Without asking why we need a king and why should we respect tyrannical rule, America would not exist in the form it does today. Americans are asking why and getting a partisan runaround. This has been going on for decades regardless of who is in power in Washington. There is an alternative and the alternative is for the American people to step up and realize that it is our government and our America. We must call for change and be active in bringing about that change.

So, why should you support and work with the American Centrist Party?

 1. The American Centrist Party is committed to bringing real lasting change driven by the American people working together for our common good. ACP members are committed to being and promoting positive public servants not politicians. Our nation needs PUBLIC SERVANTS not politicians. The difference between the two is not just definition but the principles of action and service.

 2. The ACP is realistic about politics. We realize we will not change government overnight but with your support and working with us we can grow stronger and truly make more of a difference, each and every day in each and every year. It will take a movement not just one election to change the direction of our nation.

 3. The ACP is a true growing grassroots movement. The ACP was founded by a prison guard who is now in the US Army and its current chairman is a student and freelance writer. Our membership is made up of average Americans from over 40 states across the nation.

 4. The ACP is committed to working with other parties and organizations if to bring about the lasting change and reformation that our government needs.

 5. The ACP believes that all politics is local and wants to have a firm local and state basis for our organization. Only by changing our towns and cities can we hope to change the states and our nation.

 6. The ACP is a member run and member driven organization. Our members vote on platform issues, candidate endorsements, and issues to support and which action to take on that issue.

 7. Joining the ACP is free. You don’t have to change your political registration or voting registration to join. If you believe in supporting the freedom of political thought from strict ideologies and want to bring true lasting change to America then the ACP is for you.

 8. If you are looking for people who are committed to changing things, join and support the ACP. You are not alone; we are all in this together and need to work to make our government and nation better.

 9. The business of the ACP is transparent via our live chat meetings, forum discussions and online voting. The business of the ACP is open to all eyes or our supporter and members, just like our government should be. 

10. The members of the ACP realize that our nation and the world will never be perfect. We as people on an individual and group basis are imperfect therefore our world and nation will be imperfect. However that does not mean we as people and as a nation and world should not try to make things better and be the best we can be. The ACP realizes that government is not the answer but it can work better for all American people.

Questions about the American Centrist Party?

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 2008?

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 40 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 by laws that make sure the party represents the membership and defines the actions and responsibilities of its committee leaders.
