So, call your brother, get together, and join the Party. If we join forces, we CAN change the system. You can choose to host an informal gathering, just to spread the word about America's Third Party, or host an exclusive event with a reserved guest list.

You must mail any money received for America's Third Party to us within 10 days of receipt. Email Us for more information.
Getting on the Ballot
Political Party status is determined by ballot access. Ballot access is governed by state law. Each state has it's own rules and regulations. Help us Get on the Ballot in Your State. We provide more information on specific state pages (Lower-Right). Do you feel like you are NOT being represented? Have you tried communicating with politicians, only to encounter pleasantries and no real action? Do you think you can do a better job making decisions that affect us all? Maybe it time for YOU to become an America's Third Party Candidate and run for Political Office. Let us know if you are interested in running as an America's Third Party Nominee. We will help you through joint fundraisers. Getting on the ballot is the first step for America's Third Party to gain Party Status, popularity and notoriety. We will post updates of an America's Third Party ballot access gains in each state.
Start a Local America's Third Party Chapter
Or, you can start your own Local America's Third Party Committee. You will need to comply with all Federal Election Campaign (FEC) rules and regulations, including registration and reporting obligations. We will help you through the process. Once you register with the FEC, America's Third Party can hold joint fundraisers to help support your efforts. Email us if you are interested.
