DescriptionGod, Family, Republic

In 1992 a coalition of Independent State Parties united to form the U.S. Taxpayers Party with the common goal of limiting the Federal Government to its Constitutional boundaries and restoring the foundations of civil government back to the fundamental principles our country was founded upon. Some of the State Affiliate Parties have adopted the national party name while others have adopted or retained a different name. In 1992, the Party's presidential candidate, Howard Phillips was on the ballot in 21 states with Albion Knight Jr. as Phillips' running mate. In 1995, the Party became the fifth political party to be formally recognized by the Federal Election Commission as a national political party. In 1996 the Party achieved ballot access in 39 states, with Howard Phillips as its presidential nominee and Constitutional scholar Herb Titus as its vice-presidential nominee.

That party was started in 1952 in Texas to appeal to anti-communists and racist segregationists who also wanted to be "independent" from other international entities (strong on sovereignty, basically) and believed the two parties weren't cutting it. They later joined up with Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby, which was said to be white supremacist and anti-semitic, but disintegrated around 1960.

Since the Constitution Party outpolled the Green Party in both 2004 and 2008, should we give them a higher priority?

That's true for the presidential race, but the Green Party is more active in local and statewide races, with the exception of a few select states.

The Greens got twice as many votes as the CP in the 2010 midterms.

I'm sure they had more candidates though so I don't know who had the better average.

if there's doubt, couldn't they get the same priority?
