Abolition came from the Abolitionist Party; Women’s suffrage came from the Women’s Party; Social Security came from the Socialist Party. Third parties have historically been extremely important in the US and we need to protect them. HR1 should be amended. peoplesparty.org/response-hr…

Are you dropping a hint Marianne that you are going to defect from Democrat to something new?

When I ran for Congress in ‘14 I ran as an Independent - long been aware of the issues involved. Also wrote about it in “Healing the Soul of America.” G. Washington warned us against political parties; said they’d form factions more interested in their party than their country.

People's Party is not a 3rd party, it's a major new party. You'd know that if you cared about anything more than platitudes and pandering. Never heard your voice on any of the National calls for 4 years... empty suit.

thank you for tweeting this statement about the HR1 bill . It is hard to read everything that goes through congress as a working poor person ...i'm busy trying to just survive out here. This truly helped me alot. I will share it far and wide for others to read it too!

Isn't it interesting how blind we all can sometimes be ... Intelligent people write a bill based on two political parties (because that's what we have now) ... and not even consider that someday there could be multiple politial parties.
