Platform Principles

Official American Centrist Party Platform Principles

The following issues are official platform principles that have been voted upon and passed by a majority of the American Centrist Party Membership.  These principles can be interpreted as solutions to issues that any ACP Member or ACP endorsed candidate can support and introduce as legislation should s/he gain office to any town/locality, county, state, or federal political post. Or they can use these platform principles to formulate more solutions to issues. The ACP believes that the overall idea of policy and policy change is what important. We do not expect people to agree with every specific detail or our plans but we want people and members to agree with the ideas of finding real solutions to these issues. That is why the ACP will work with others who might not agree with every specific detail we do but who agree with the idea of finding real solutions to these issues for the betterment of America as a whole.

Note: This list is a dynamic list, and new policies will be posted here as they are introduced and then voted upon by the ACP Membership.  Thus this list should in no way be considered comprehensive or complete. This list is not in order of importance. You can still be an ACP Member and not support all of these Platform Principles. The ACP is all about inclusion and bringing ideas and opinions into the discussion to create effective solutions for issues facing our towns, cities, states and nation.

Platform Principles- The platform is dvided into multiple planks. The planks are seperated into ACP Platform Summaries  which include the ACP's reasoning behind its positions and a summary of the plank for quick reading. Some planks have additional details or information in addition to the platform plank summary. Each plank not only explains the ACP's reasoning behind its position but also a plan for implementation to create a real solution.
