New Platform Plank: Federalism and the Tenth Amendment

New Platform Plank drafted by the Platform Committee, and approved by the Board: 3-15-2012

We believe the Tenth Amendment expressly solidifies this primacy in the Constitution."

With a Principle Platform comes the responsibility of formulating a legislative agenda, which we will be working on in the FORUMS. It's the best way that our members can express their opinions about how to best apply the Principles of the ACP. 

Over the next weeks and months our Platform Committee will be working to put simple planks out about our positions on the role of Government in Five Major Areas: Foreign Affairs, Taxes and Economy, Health and Environmental, Public Safety, Role of Government.

ACP on Pop-Vox

Over the next weeks and months as we have to turn our policy platform into legislative positions, stay tuned to our Profile on PopVox.com.

You can set up your own account and express your own views on popvox, but most of all, you should let us know on the forums when you feel we need to take a position on a certain bill.

The ACP is not simply about ballot access and elections and campaigns.  We, as activists, have to be willing to make clear where we stand so that current elected officials know what they should do get our support, and voters know what our eventual candidates will be willing to stand on a hill and fight for.

Eventually we will have a legislative section of the website specifically for email campaigns to elected officials on the issues we're taking a stand on.
