These rights are inherent in human nature and are based on each person’s capacity to reason and independently develop moral virtues, which America’s founders devoted their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor” to defend.īy reviving popular understanding and support for America’s founding principles, our Party will bring about a new unity among now divided Americans. Such fundamental human rights include the right to own property, which forbids turning people into property. This Amendment subordinates the coercive powers of government to the God-given sovereignty, freedom, dignity and “unalienable rights” of each human person. The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. The Unite America Party bases much of its agenda and fundamental principles on the largely ignored Ninth Amendment of the Constitution, which reads:
These first ten amendments to the Constitution set limits on the power of the Federal government vis-à-vis the people, reinforcing the civilization-changing ideal that the true source of power and rights rests with the people, not government. The vision of the Unite America Party is further supported by America’s Bill of Rights, without which the Constitution would not have been approved by founders such as George Mason. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. This affirms the correct and limited role and mission of our national government, expressing that: Our vision also has its roots in the language of the Preamble of the Constitution. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The Unite America Party derives its vision from the history behind the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776, which declares: THE PARTY’S PHILOSOPHICAL ROOTS AND VISION OF THE FUTURE If any well-organized party or candidate wants to adopt our comprehensive Platform, they will have our support. Ultimately, we believe that our Platform is more important than any party, including our own party. For this reason, we have carefully defined our terms 2 - developed over the centuries and based on the writings of the great moral, religious and political philosophers 3 - in presenting the logic and applications underlying our platform and program. We realize that some of the terms we use may be interpreted negatively by people coming from differing political philosophies. Through our Platform and the universal principles of economic and social justice 1 it expresses, we seek to unite all Americans and existing political parties around the cure for that cancer.
This systemic disease is increasing the feelings of polarization and pessimism in many Americans and other people around the world. Why start a new party? Because all of the existing political parties are addressing the symptoms, not the structural causes, of a cancer within today’s economic system. Our mission and agenda are fully consistent with the spirit of the original American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - namely, to create economic liberty, prosperity and justice for all. This revolution of ideas, we believe, can unite all Americans and, by example, all of humanity, and move us toward a more hopeful and just future.
The Unite America Party is reaching out to all who are seeking, and are ready to work together for, a positive and peaceful “Second American Revolution” inspired by the founding principles of our nation.
