Veterans Party of America was founded in December 2013 by a group of military Veterans, but is open to all Americans. Prior military service is always welcome, but is not required to serve as a party leader, member or candidate. Our name is meant to indicate who guarantees this party's commitment to ethical, solutions-based representation and accountable, Constitutional government. As a fully independent political party, recognized by the Federal Election Commission, our mission is to gain ballot access in all 50 states, and endorse candidates at levels of government: local, state and federal. We believe in protecting Liberty, Justice, Freedom and Opportunity for every American. If you are interested in learning more, please visit our website at: www.VeteransPartyofAmerica.org. We can also be contacted directly on Facebook and Twitter. "We are not Republicans. We are not Democrats. We are AMERICANS! And we want our country back."
