Learn More About the Whig Party of New York

The Modern Whigs in New York have formed the Whig Party of New York. From their website:

Why is the resurgence of Whigs planned to be any more successful than previous efforts to dislodge the two party duopoly? We believe that there are two primary reasons why the Modern Whig Party will succeed where the others have failed.

One, we are thoroughly grounded in common sense, rational solutions to real problems and are deeply committed to ending the self serving divisions, partisan bickering and ideologies that have plagued our political system for years. We are not a third party, we are THE MIDDLE PARTY, representing middle America.

The second reason is timing. Timing is everything in politics and NOW people are ready for the answer folks to come along with common sense solutions. People are beginning to finally wake up and see that our political system is failing its citizens and serving itself. It is up to us – We the People, to use a hackneyed term, to come up with solutions. No one else is going to do it for us! Gandhi once said that we need to be the change we want to see in the world.

The New York Whig Party is comprised of people from all walks of life and all political ideas who are committed to finding common sense solutions to public policy issues, to becoming the go-to Answer Folks. We are former Republicans, Democrats, Independents of all kinds, Decline to State and folks who haven’t registered or voted in years. We are energized by our collective efforts and we see that maybe, with millions of citizens sharing the same collective vision, we can, and will in unison , regain effective representation at all levels of government. We hope that YOU will look at our website, see what we have to say and consider joining the Modern Whig Party in the effort to reclaim America.

Exciting plans are brewing to build a vibrant Whig Party of and for New York based on the same open tenets, common sense solutions, citizen-generated platforms and ethics in leadership that are the core underpinnings of the modern Whig movement, and which historically been associated with Whig leadership.
