Community-Focused, the Federalist Party of America Aims to Restore What the “Big Two” Parties Have Buried

……

This is very much about the Republican versus Democrat narrative, that would suggest that there’s a discernible difference between the “big two” political parties.

There really isn’t.

They have both become big government behemoths, pulled and molded by special interests that are less motivated by the will and well-being of the people, and far more invested in their bottom line.

……..

The Federalist Party of America officially launched today, heralded in with an announcement written up for the National Review Online.

William F.B. O’Reilly (No, not that Bill O’Reilly), New York political consultant and nephew of National Review founder, William F. Buckley, penned the announcement for the party launch.

……..

I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. O’Reilly on Wednesday. I asked him how this effort would be different than other third parties. He explained the goal of structuring government properly, as was intended by the founders.

In other words, protect the taxpayers from the politicians. At the core of this federalism is term limits. There are too many politicians who treat Congress as a retirement village.

What if Congress had to return to their neighborhoods and truly live by the laws they pass? Right now, it appears that the longer a politician remains in Washington, the more susceptible he or she becomes to the draw of lobbyists and outside interests.

Another thing pointed out by Mr. O’Reilly was that this wasn’t about tearing down Washington, but rather, about building up local government and communities, giving them more autonomy in running themselves, without the overreach of the federal government.

…….

The Federalist Party has but two goals, at once simple and colossal: 1) the eventual reestablishment of government jurisdictions as prescribed in the Constitution and 2) congressional term limits, the latter integral to achieving the former. All other issues take a back seat to these; most should be hashed out within our towns, cities, or states.

…….

This isn’t a partisan thing. It’s an American thing, meant to bring Republicans, Independents, and moderate Democrats to common ground.

That common ground should be the well-being of this nation we all call our home, and a return to what our founders intended.

It sounds good, to me.
