FAQ
This FAQ will answer some of the current questions being asked about CP USA.
Why is the Conservative Party needed?
The Conservative Party is needed to help rectify the consistent failures and corruption of the current two-party system.
Specifically, the Republicans and Democrats (“Republi-Dems”) have conspired to allow the federal government to incur a $14 Trillion national debt, been corrupted by special interest groups, gorged themselves on Pork and Earmarks, failed to curb illegal immigration and increased the specter of socialism and loss of individual liberty by promoting an ever-expanding role of the Federal government.
What is the Mission of the Conservative Party?
Our Mission is three-fold: Protect individual rights and freedoms set forth in the Constitution; Limit the scope of Federal and State government as defined therein; and stopping the abuse and corruption of the current two-party system.
The Party also provides true conservatives with a strong political support base that empowers them to formulate genuine conservative agenda and to articulate those views without reservation.
What’s the difference between the Conservative Party and Republicans?
The Republican Party has consistently failed to uphold conservative principles on so many levels since Ronald Reagan it can no longer be considered a legitimate representative of traditional American conservative values. The GOP has lost its core values and lacks real leadership or vision.
The Conservative Party has a genuine and unambiguous Conservative platform, doesn’t marginalize Conservatives and will exert a much needed rightward pull on the electorate.
Shouldn’t conservatives make the GOP return to its conservative roots?
That has been tried repeatedly for the past 20 years without success. The GOP is riddled with RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) who have a “big tent” mentality that puts appealing to the media and reaching across the aisle ahead of retaining conservative principles or values.
Trying to change the GOP is like drilling holes in water because they don’t stand for anything except getting elected.
Why don’t Conservative Republicans win more primaries?
Conservatives are generally shunned by the GOP leadership who doesn’t share conservative values and principles. As a result, Conservatives do not get as much GOP funding and operational support. Conservatives are also discouraged from running in the first place because GOP is afraid it will lose the general election to moderates. Scott Brown in MA and Marco Rubio in FL demonstrate this is not true.
Won’t the Conservative Party make it easy for Democrats to win?
No. The Conservative Party will endorse true conservative candidates from another Party when we don’t have a candidate in a race and if the candidate signs our Candidate’s Pledge. Example, the Party just endorsed (R) Lee McGroarty in SoCal.
In addition, Conservative Party incumbents will caucus with Republicans when/if the bill conforms to our principles.
Will the Conservative Party change the Two-Party System?
Yes. America can no longer continue with “business as usual”. The current two-party system is riddled with corruption and self-serving incompetence. The evidence is clear: spiraling national debt, continued use Earmarks (Pork), misuse of tax payer money for personal gain, tax evasions and undue influence of special interest groups.
The two major parties are complicit in these abuses and will continue them unless stopped by the Conservative Party.
How can the Conservative Party get majorities in the House of Senate?
The Conservative Party does not need to get majorities in Congress or state legislatures to be effective. We just need to gain solid minorities to stop the duplicity and corruption of the two major parties. Just two Conservative Senators would have killed ObamaCare while only five Conservative House members would have stopped the “Cap & Trade”. America can no longer afford this two-party corruption.
How is the Conservative Party different from the other parties?
The Conservative Party is unambiguously fiscally and socially conservative in all aspects. The Party’s values are clearly reflected in our Platform and we require all candidates it endorses to sign our Candidate’s Pledge affirming those values.
The RNC refuses to support a similar Pledge promoted by conservative elements their party because it might alienate some their moderate base. Of course Democrats believe in bigger government and have no such litmus tests.
Will the Tea Party Movement help the Conservative Party?
Yes. The Tea Party (TPN) is a grass roots movement that essentially holds the same values and goals of the Conservative Party. While Tea Party supporters generally support Republicans, they will gradually realize the GOP does not share all of their values and is using the TPN to get elected. All of TPN’s passion and energy will be wasted on the RNC in the long run.
The Conservative Party, however, is built on a solid foundation of values and principles that will endure the test of time rather than personalities or fads. We’ll be ready to accept TPN’s support when they are ready.
Can I still vote in primaries if I join the Conservative Party?
Yes. Joining or donating to CP USA does not eliminate your right to vote in your state’s primary since CP USA is not yet on the ballot. Primary election laws differ for each state, however, so you must review them once CP USA does get on the ballot.
What’s the basic Platform of the Conservative Party?
CPUSA’s Platform clearly reflects its conservative Principles, Tenets and respect for America’s traditional family values. These concepts include: The federal government must abide by the Constitution; the primary duty of the President is to protect America from its enemies, both foreign and domestic; Veterans must be honored and supported for their sacrifices; Marriage is between one man and one woman; life begins at conception; Budget Earmarks must be eliminated and fiscal discipline restored; illegal immigration must be stopped; Healthcare must include meaningful Tort Reform.
How old is the Conservative Party?
The CPUSA started in January 2009 and has its headquarters in Baton Rouge, LA. The Party is structured as a National Party with 50 semi-independent State Affiliates. As of January 2010, CPUSA had 17 Affiliates and more than 2,000 members nationwide
