Are you ready for
real change?
Would you like a real
choice?
Are you tired of politicians who
make big promises but don’t explain
how they’re going to pay for them?
Politicians who reward large
businesses for irresponsible behavior?
Politicians who have pushed the U.S.
national debt past $10 trillion, most of
it owed to foreigners?
As the proverb says, “the borrower is
servant to the lender.” By spending money
irresponsibly, our government is mortgaging
our future.
Are you tired of politicians who have supported
policies that have made us more than 60%
dependent on foreign oil, endangered our
national security, and pushed the price of
gasoline to record highs—policies that restrict
using our own natural resources such as the oil
in ANWR?
Are you tired of politicians who put pandering
ahead of principle, self-power ahead of serving
the citizens, expediency ahead of the long-term
well-being of the people? Are you tired of
politicians who seem to be devoid of the moral
values upon which this great nation was
founded?
Our nation was founded without political parties.
Parties arose, and today’s two-party system is
broken.
A new political party—already #3
A new U.S. political party began in June 2008
and is already the third largest in number of
registered voters. It is called America’s
Independent Party (AIP).
AIP is a party based on the principles that this
nation was founded on. AIP’s purpose? The
same as the stated purpose of the U.S.
Constitution: “To secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity.”
AIP is pro-life and pro-liberty and unswervingly
supports a strong and secure America. Along
with the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, AIP believes in the following
self-evident truths:



All men are created equal.
Our unalienable rights to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness come from our
Creator.
Just government can exist only by the
consent of the governed.
A time of moral crisis
The United States of America has not always
been a nation where students massacre their
fellow students. Today we are afflicted by the
culture of death.
In 2006, following a series of school shootings,
Brian Rohrbough, whose son Danny was
murdered at Columbine High School in 1999,
said, “This country is in a moral free-fall. For
over two generations, the public school system
has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God
from the school and from the government,
replacing him with evolution, where the strong
kill the weak, without moral consequences and
life has no inherent value.”
He continued, “We teach there are no absolutes,
no right or wrong. And I assure you the murder
of innocent children is always wrong, including
by abortion. Abortion has diminished the value
of children.”
Since America’s first legalized abortion law was
signed in 1967, 50 million babies have been
killed. Each year an additional 1.1 million are
slaughtered. As a result of Roe vs. Wade and
Doe vs. Bolton, issued in 1973 by five
Republican judges and two Democratic judges,
abortion is now legal during all nine months of
pregnancy.
The God-ordained institutions of marriage and
family are under attack. Few politicians are
willing to take a strong, principled stand to
defend marriage and family.
NC voters denied a choice
This year voters in most states have the
opportunity to vote for AIP Presidential
candidate Alan Keyes. Voters in North
Carolina do not. Based on a law similar to
laws that have been declared
unconstitutional in other states, Keyes
supporters were denied the right to petition
to get on the ballot in the general election as
an independent candidate.

Keyes, see the following Web sites:

1.
Obama supports the Freedom of Choice Act, which would void virtually all federal and state pro-life laws. As a state senator in Illinois he opposed a measure to
give medical care to prematurely born babies who survive botched abortions. See www.bornalivetruth.org.
2. See “Is States' Rights A Position Or Evasion?” at www2.tbo.com/content/2008/jul/28/na-is-states-rights-a-position-orevasion/news-politics.
3. McCain supports abortion in cases involving rape, incest, or the life of the mother. See www.ontheissues.org/Senate/John_McCain_Abortion.htm.
4. McCain supports embryonic stem cell research on embryos left over from in vitro fertilization, not created specifically for research. See
www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/95b18512-d5b6-456e-90a2-12028d71df58.htm and “The other Republican platform” (at www.aipnews.com).
5. See “Biden’s Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Support at Odds with Obama’s Record” and Senator Obama’s June 5, 2006 Floor Statement on the amendment.
6. In 2006, McCain was one of only three Republican senators to vote against defining marriage between one man and one woman. See “8 reasons I won't vote for
John McCain” (at worldnetdaily.com) and “John McCain on Civil Rights” (at www.ontheissues.org/2008/John_McCain_Civil_Rights.htm).
7. Following the lead of Canadian lawmakers, Obama supports "hate-crime" legislation giving special protection to homosexuals. In Canada, certain portions of
Scripture can no longer be read on radio or TV, because that would be considered "hate speech." See the FRC “Special Publication” at www.frc.org.
8. McCain sponsored the McCain-Feingold restrictions (see www.cwfa.org) on freedom of speech, which became law in 2002.
9. McCain refused to support the right of military chaplains to pray in Jesus' name. See www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59187.
10. Obama and McCain say that they support gun ownership rights. However, their current position is not fully consistent with their voting record or with their previous
statements. See “On the Second Amendment, Don’t Believe Obama!” (www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3991) by the NRA, “John McCain’s Gun
Control Problem” (www.gunowners.org/pres08/mccain.htm) by GOA, and www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/gunning_for_obama.html.
11. See “Obama accepts offshore drilling,” “Barack Obama on Energy and Oil” and “McCain Reiterates Opposition to Drilling in Wildlife Refuge.”
12. Although McCain says that he will appoint strict constructionist judges, that seems unlikely. Strict constructionist judges would overturn McCain-Feingold, a law
written by McCain that clearly violates freedom of speech (see “Supreme Court slashes freedom of speech”) guaranteed by the First Amendment.
