Since announcing our intentions in July to form a new party, the #1 question that we’ve received is, “Why not help one of the other third parties instead of forming a new one and dividing the base even further?”
They all have a base. They all have a platform. Our small-government Constitutional platform will be very similar to other conservative third parties, so the question is a fair one to ask. The answer to the question is simple: no third party has a strategy to win. We have examined the strategies of every other viable third party and came to the obvious conclusion that they’re fundamentally flawed. If 2016 taught us anything, it’s that even the strongest third parties are essentially powerless against the big two.
Some of the “large” third parties have barely become blips on the radar after decades of existence. Things are different, now. We have certain advantages with our launch that they simply didn’t have back then. Some of these advantages are only applicable to a new party; reforming or enhancing the older ones won’t have nearly the same impact. While nobody has a surefire strategy or a magic bullet to bring success, we hope that everyone can agree on a handful of realities: (click link, read - the below is from a different part of the website, not what follows this colon)
While the whole Constitution must be defended and used as our touchstone, we tend to put emphasis on the First, Second, and Tenth Amendments. They are the three areas that are most often under attack from the big government overreach that plagues Washington DC.
Below, you will find our opening statement on the concepts that guide us. As the party grows, we will improve on this initial offering through the efforts of additional party leaders coming to the table. Know this: no matter what perspectives they bring and regardless of what outside forces attempt to sway us, we will always strive to stay true to the Constitution as the greatest governmental foundation the world has ever seen.

The United States Constitution: Our Platform's Foundation
The foundation of American governance is the Constitution. It stands to reason that the foundation of every political party in the United States should also be the Constitution, but unfortunately that is normally not the case. The Federalist Party will stand out as one of the few political entities that stays true to the tenets of the Constitution with every policy or issue that we consider.While the whole Constitution must be defended and used as our touchstone, we tend to put emphasis on the First, Second, and Tenth Amendments. They are the three areas that are most often under attack from the big government overreach that plagues Washington DC.
