Midwest Americans,

Your inclusion in this Party in no way prevents you from remaining affiliated with your current party.  This is so, because the Midwest Alliance and The Populist Party, have a limited platform that consists of simply creating a democracy in the United States.  Please read bellow for a quick summation of the general principles that guide that party in its grass-roots efforts and, hopefully, you well see the pressing need for actualizing the basic elements embodied in the Party’s platform.  Since you will be involved in the party from its very inception, you will have the opportunity to influence the party’s structure as well as its platform.  Therefore, if you ever feel left out by the politics of the two business parties in America, then this is your chance to help dictate how you want your new political party to operate.  I shall, just briefly, describe some of the guidelines for the Party’s agenda that are provided by the national organization, which serve only as loose provisions for the grass-roots efforts that we will be conducting in The Midwest. 

The Populist Party is concerned with creating a democracy in the United States.  You might think, don’t we already live in a democracy?  Certainly not.  A democracy includes the populace’s participation in all of the various public policy initiatives that are formed through polity.  Consequently, the mere fact that decisions are often rendered by elites in the various, over-grown agencies associated with government, or the elitist intellectuals in academia, indicates that America, and The Midwest, suffer from a top-to-bottom political structure that cares little for the input of the average citizen.  The reform of this process is the primary objective of The Populist Party of America.
