As we approach yet another presidential elections in 2012, I believe the time is ripe for a viable third political party in these United States to balance the political power in this country that under the current two-party system has been relegated to special interests and big business.
In the current political environment both republicans and democrats are daily being bought and sold by the Washington?s elite political organizations. Our government by the people and for the people has become an Oligarchy; a monumental political enterprise that works solely for large corporations and the special interest groups that in every election spend billions of dollars to elect their candidate.
It is a government where the people who carry the burden of taxation have no real say in the decision making process or the national policy of this country. Today, as we look forward to the 2012 presidential elections, we see a country divided, a political landscape ripe for an inclusive and viable third political party. A new party that serves the needs of the large Middle Class, the taxpayers that in recent years have been ignored by both, the democrats and the republicans.
For that to happen, the American people must support historic changes in the structure of the current system. We can no longer exclude independent candidates from debates. Political contributions must be regulated so that every candidate has a fair chance of being nominated. Independent candidates must have the same status that is currently reserved for the two front-runners of the two major political parties.
Yes, just as others have done in past presidential elections, today independent candidates have no chance of being nominated let alone elected. For 200 years, this nation has survived under the banner of the two party system. Today, America needs an established independent party to offset the concentrated power that under the two-party system is stifling the economic growth of this country. It is time for inclusion, we have had enough of the two-party system that today resemble, two-sides of the same coin. Our political system in Washington needs fresh blood because the current environment at the national and state level has become anemic at best.
The time is now to end the stronghold of presidential politics.
