As a Buddhist, I believe in "moderation". If I had to name a political party to which I belong, I would say, any party with missions similar to my beliefs and philosophy of life. Social well-being is the priorilty!
I believe in a quality of life regarless of wealth, race, complexion, educational background, and social status. Being able to help myself and others humanitarianly is the main objective of my being on earth.

Democratic Party
The Democratic Party was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1792 as a congressional caucus to fight for the Bill of Rights and against the elitist Federalist Party. The "party of the common man" was officially named the Democratic-Republican Party in 1798 and in 1800 elected Jefferson as the first Democratic President of the United States. Jefferson served two distinguished terms and was followed by James Madison in 1808. Learn More about Democratic Party...

The name of the Independent American Party came from a speech entitled "The Proper Role of Government" by Ezra T. Benson, former Secretary of Agriculture. It is an indirect creation of the Utah Independent American Party. It was formally created May 27, 1998. Prior to that date, the Utah party at its state convention on May 16, 1998 voted by straw vote in favor of forming a new national party. Learn More about Independent American Party...
Republican Party
The Republican Party (often referred to as the GOP, for Grand Old Party) was founded in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge. The name "Republican" was chosen because it alluded to equality and reminded individuals of Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party. At the Jackson convention, the new party adopted a platform and nominated candidates for office in Michigan. In 1856, the Republicans became a national party when John C. Fremont was nominated for President under the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont." Learn More about the Republican Party...
