America's Party is one of the many 3rd parties in America. It was formed in 2008 by a group of "average citizens" in support of Alan Keyes, who was running for president at the time. Alan Keyes was originally a Republican, and then wanted to join and represent the Constitution Party but after a disagreement over some issues he was not chosen by the Constitution Party, so his supporters then formed America's Party which he represented in the elections that year.
The current chairman of the party is Tom Hoefling and its headquarters are located in Fenton, Michigan. The colors of the party are red, white, and blue.
The America's Party is very conservative and bases a lot of there beliefs off of the constitution. On their website they have state that their purpose is to "Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our prosperity," which is a quote taken from our constitution.
The party is also very supportive of our soldiers and also our veteran's of former wars. They also are huge pro-life supporters. The party believes that as a nation we need to work to implement the founding principles of America, which will lead to making our country better. They also claim to have a plan for boosting our economy and creating prosperity in our country.
The party has also stated on their website that they want to recruit men and women who are willing to put America's founding principles into work, and that they will support and endorse candidates based on their principles and values, not on what party they support.
Currently the America's Party has not had much success in elections. They also have no members in the Senate and House of Representatives.
Personally, while I do think they have some good values and qualities I do not fully support them, as they are very conservative and I believe their should be a balance between conservative qualities and liberal qualities of a party and of our country.
