The Anti-Federalist Party
The Anti-Federalist Party ^ | Cro

It is our position that the entirety of The Constitution as originally passed by the 13 Colonies, and its amendments over time, forms a binding contract with the several states and the people of this nation, and that violations thereof are thus not just a matter of individual liberty but of contract law with the several states, who have both a right and obligation to enforce their rights and those of their citizens utilizing all available state and local government resources, without exception.

Why call it 'Anti-Federalist'? Many Conservatives believe strongly in the principles laid down in the Federalist Papers.

How about simple truth in advertising: The Conservative Party. Then, it makes it hard to forget where we come from.

Few know the correct definition of a Republic any more, so being Republican means less now.

How is this political party any different from The Constitution Party?

They don’t seem to want to return the Louisiana Purchase or any of the other territory we “bought”. I wonder what their Constitutional rationale for that is.

Because the Federalist arguments have not held up against the Anti-Feds—Patrick Henry, George Mason, etc. Time has proven them sadly correct.

“How is this political party any different from The Constitution Party?”

It creates another little pond, in which to be a big fish.

Almost guaranteed to be little pond, judged by brilliant name selection.

Another problem with creating several “pro-conservative political parties” is that it successfully divides the total conservative votes among many conservative candidates from many political parties and indirectly helps leftist candidates from the Democratic Party win such contests over and over again!

I read their platform, and they’re not pro-life.

America's Independent Party has solved the conundrum you describe. Personal affiliation with AIP is made without regard to party registration, and we endorse or nominate candidates based on adherence to America's founding principles, not party label.

“Federalism is GOOD.”

Really? What’s the difference between “federalism” and “statism?”

We need to support this party in every way. This could be the start of something big. We need to change the name to the AFP or maybe the Grass Roots Anti-Federalist Reform Party. The Goals are good. How about the Anti-Socialist Party?

"Federalism" pertains to a confederation of sovereign States, which is what the founders of the united States intended.

"Statism" pertains to the supremism of a single sovereign state, which is what the founders fought against (England) to win independence for the several States.
