No Label Party

No Labels

The genesis of this group was some 10 years ago!

I am unable to find a platform for this party, other
than just be "moderate"


Wiki :

 

Ken,
As far in Ballot access - of course each State or Commonwealth have there own rules.
When I was in WV - the stated you had to have at least 1% of the votes in the Governers election. Here in NY, the threshold was 50,000 votes in the Governors election. (last election there were a total 5.7 million votes. Just recently - that threshold was increased to 130,000 votes or 2% of the total votes - whichever is greater)

And thank you for that link - and I agree - that "platform" needs a lot of meat..
Now, I do agree with most of what is stated - BUT the question is how to get to those results.

For example:
1) Washington must stop spending so much more than it takes in. From now on, the annual budget should be reasonable and responsible, which means our national debt needs to stop growing faster than our economy.
But what do we cut to stop spending too much money? Welfare, cut govt workers, stop building new roads...

2)Public safety is the highest priority
Do we install cameras on every corner, More police, restrict certain rights

3) , most effective, and most powerful military in the world
Do we go back to the days of lower enlisted not allowed to have
families - Do we go back to the days of 6 day work weeks.

4) Political parties, social media companies, and government institutions
should not be able to censor information they don’t like
Is that in line with the First Amendment?

5) freedom from discrimination
Some discrimination is good - even handicap parking is discrimination!


Its all in the interpretation!

 

Another change is that Ballot access is checked every 2 years - Groverner and President elections.
NY has continues its Fusion ballot laws..

Three other parties nominated their own candidates for president, and they each fell well short of the new requirements. Howie Hawkins received 23,258 votes on the Green Party line, Jo Jorgensen got 47,745 votes on the Libertarian Party line and Brock Pierce garnered only 17,639 votes on the Independence Party line (not to be confused with independents who are unaffiliated with any party). The final official third party in the state, the Serve America Movement, did not nominate a candidate for president. It, along with the Libertarian Party, qualified for automatic ballot access for the first time in 2018.
