Influencing perspectives online since 1997

2009 had shown promise as the beginning of a new era in national politics, but it remains to be seen if the chants of "yes we can" will drown out the drone of business as usual in Washington. When the 2010 election cycle came upon us, the voices of right-wing extremists and fringe groups threatened to drown out the voices of reason and squash the potential for positive change that still lingers under the residual legacy of the Bush administration.

Please see below for an alternative approach to addressing the "business as usual" partisanship that extremists are still pushing to wedge common American interests aside.

The Third Party of America was conceived as an alternative voice that speaks to reason and empathy rather than the Right or Left.  While we are undergoing some change of our own as the nation adjusts, we will continue to be a part of the solution and a place where everyone is welcome to politely share their perspectives and help build that bridge to our better collective future.


Temporary Changes

 
This is a temporary version of our site.  Previous visitors will remember a much more technically complicated approach, complete with an open forum for discussion and a Wiki designed for community-style creation of our platform.

Requests for information on the positions taken by 3rdparty.org and the history of the 3rd Party should reference the link to our archive with the Library of Congress, just to the right of this paragraph in the Site Update section. -->

While the archive is in no way a complete history or 3rdparty.org and sadly does not include the 2008 election year, it does firmly show the voices of the many citizens who helped mold the 3rd Party.

Please check back often. 

Anyone wishing to volunteer their time to help design or maintain our site should contact Jeffrey Poehlmann directly via email.
Site Update:

Throughout 2011, we expect our interactive forums to remain disabled while we work on a better solution to SPAM-proof them.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  However, if you are looking for an old post or you are doing some research on a topic that we can help you with, we have tried to save as much of our history as possible in our off-line archive.

Additionally, there is the impressive Minerva project of the Library of Congress, which has archived portions of our site from the 2002 election cycle, which can be accessed here.

Our "Convention Floor" forum has been widely praised for our style and class when it comes to the heated issues of real-world politics.  We intend to continue this tradition and hope that you will enjoy the information here today while committing to return in the near future to participate in our community as it continues to evolve.
 While this site is in hibernation, it does not mean that we are inactive. There are many other groups and movements that have a similar agenda to ours and the resources to put their goals into action.  One such organization is "No Labels." Please join their movement to remove partisanship from politics.
