FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dissatisfied Clinton Supporters Flock to Third Party in Droves
Moderate third party enjoys 400% increase in new members, as Hillary Clinton supporters search for other options for their preferred candidate; NAIP leadership “admires” Clinton and her ideals, offers her supporters a “new home.”
PHILADELPHIA, PA. -- JUNE 7, 2008 – In the wake of the divisive 2008 Democratic primaries. A growing number of Hillary Clinton supporters are searching for an alternative to the Democratic Party, which many believe has abandoned them and their ideals.
Over the past week, traffic on the sign-up board at the NAIP web site has been “off the charts,” according to the site administrator. Comments left by new sign-ups paint a picture of Democrats and Clinton supporters enraged at the treatment their candidate has received, and looking for alternatives.
“The Democratic Party Left Me”
Jen Rodgers is a typical example. A lifelong Democrat and mother of two with moderate views on issues, Rodgers reregistered in response to ‘the DNC’s coronation of a sexist, racist, elitist divider,” Senator Barak Obama, who Rogers sees as “unproven, unvetted, and unelectable.”
The Democrats’ decision to halve the votes of Florida and Michigan, and to award to Senator Obama delegates won by Senator Clinton, proved too much for Lynn Baker. “That was the last straw,” Baker says. “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, The Democratic Party left me.”
No Obama
Other comments reveal a resolute refusal to voting for Senator Obama under any circumstances. John Polidoro, another lifelong Democrat, supported Obama at first, “But the more I looked into his past, the more I saw how crooked and dangerous he was,” says the middle class factory worker from Fairfax, Virginia. “I’ll vote for the NAIP ticket, but I’ll never vote for Obama.” The N A I P gives voters like John Polidoro a way to make a difference this November, and is actively courting them to help collect signatures so the NAIP can oppose Barack Obama in as many states as possible.
NAIP “Naturally A Good Fit” for Clinton Supporters
Founded in 2004, the N A I P is a grassroots, independent party that promotes principles of people above party and good government above good politics.
NAIP chairman Michael Thompson sees an affinity between his party and Clinton supporters. “Like us, Clinton supporters are expressing a desire to see strong, ethical candidates who represent the moderate views of most Americans. Like us, they are tired of politicians who hold radical views that are divisive and out-of-touch with America.”
NAIP advocates pragmatic, centrist solutions to issues facing America such as universal healthcare, strong public schools, energy independence and climate change, civil liberties and a strong middle class. NAIP has always appealed to moderate Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. “We’re naturally a good fit” for Clinton supporters, Thompson believes. “We offer Hillary Clinton supporters a new home.”
Ballot Access Efforts to Oppose Obama
As an active and determined political party, NAIP has a Ballot Access Task Force, which includes top authorities on ballot access law, that are actively working on ways to make a NAIP vote count for Clinton.
This November NAIP expects to be on the ballot in 42 to 46 states, according to Thompson, who also notes that Hillary supporters are encouraging the NAIP to field candidates across the country to challenge elected Obama superdelegates.
To support these initiatives, NAIP urgently needs registered voters to help collect petition signatures before the June deadlines expire in many states.
Hillary Is Always Welcome Here
The NAIP leadership admires Senator Clinton, and agrees that preventing Senator Obama’s election is paramount.
“We share Senator Clinton’s ideals, and we respect the tenacity and strength she has displayed during her campaign,” Thompson says, adding that the top spot on the NAIP ticket is Clinton’s whenever she wants it: “Hillary Clinton is always welcome here!”
