Hello,
My name is Kuuleme Stephens and I am the 1rst Vice Chairman of the
Independent American Party of Arizona. I didn't know if you have heard
anything on the Independent American Party yet. There is a big
mis-conception about our party and what our purpose is in America today
as a political party. The following is taken right from our web page:
We stand up for America as did
our patriot forefathers by adhering to the principles of government, which
made this country great. The same truths held “self-evident” by our
founding fathers guide the destiny of the Independent American Party. We,
too, believe that our creator endowed us with certain inalienable rights.
As a political party we are
primarily concerned with the proper relationship of government and the
people. We recognize the United States Constitution as the most nearly
perfect statement of this relationship ever written. Within our
Constitution the most basic and cherished rights of all Americans are
protected in a manner intended to endure forever. The Independent American
Party is dedicated to the perpetuation of these God-given and
Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Our Constitutional fathers,
aware of the tyranny and despotism, which would inevitably result from an
omnipotent central government, carefully limited the role of the Federal
Government. Amendment Ten of our original Bill of Rights states, “The
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states respectively,
or to the people”.
I
am writing this blog because there seems to be a lot of
confusion on who we are as a party, what our purpose is, and whether we
should even be in existence at all.. We are taking a lot of hits from
both the Democrats as well as Republicans. We are a Conservative Party.
We hold fast to the U.S. Constitution and the values and morals it was
founded on by our fore-fathers. The Democrats are not happy about our
group for obvious reasons. The Republican Party, however, amazes me at
times. When I started out with the IAP, I thought that all of the
Conservative voters of our country would ban together in battling the
Obama Socialist Machine. I was quick to learn that that simply wasn't
true. The Republican Party has been quick to let the Independent voters
know that they are not wanted. They see my party as splitting the
Conservative vote and that is simply not what we are trying to do. To
give an example of what I am referring to, here is the part of the
discussion found on http://www.resistnet.com in the Arizona forum. This
is how I was responded to by Republican Conservatives when I approached
them to extend an invitation to view our party's website. I cut and
pasted this right from the site:
We're sorry, but this discussion has just been closed to further replies.

How are we ever to save this country if even the Conservatives are
unwilling to work together??? This is not a competition, this is a
movement to save what's left of our country while we still have a
chance to do so. We are not splitting the vote so the Democrats can
keep winning, we are trying to provide a party where all Conservatives
can gather together when they leave the Democrat or Republican Party.
Many people are beginning to see that both sides (Republican and
Democrat) have lost their way when it comes to the political forum. Our
party wants to see us get back to basics as a nation that still has a
Constitution (so far). We want to preserve this great nation of ours
and are willing to take a chance at trying something new in order to
bring about "change" (not the Obama change or the present Republican
Party change). We want the peoples voices to be heard because our
government as it stands today is not listening. Instead they are trying
to force their legislation and laws upon us with the health care bill
and the attack on our gun rights. When did the government stop working
for the people??? We did this to ourselves by putting weak leaders into
places of power, and it's up to us as a people to correct this. If we
do not, our country as we know it will be lost. More and more people
are registering as independent voters everyday due to the madness of
our leadership in this country. The Independent American Party is
trying to bring these people into a forum where they might be able to
bring about the type of change this country needs without it coming
down to a civil war (as many of the American people fear is imminent).
I hope by bringing this to you, you will take it and address it as need
be. You have a great forum and following which can help (if you choose
to address it), that we here at the IAP just want our country back. We
are a Constitution-loving, Christian-valued, Patriotic group of
American people who want to see our country stop slipping backwards
into non-existence. We gladly accept any person (no matter what race or
gender etc...), who loves our country and would like it to return to
the traditional values and morals that our fore-fathers and many other
people worked so hard to give us. Thank you for your time.
