The New Party is an umbrella
organization for grassroots political groups working to break the
stranglehold that corporate money and corporate media have over
our political process.
Our current work and long-term strategy is to change states' election
rules to allow fusion voting - a method of voting that allows minor
parties to have their own ballot line with which they can either
endorse their own candidates or endorse the candidates of other
parties. Through fusion, minor parties don't have to always compete
in the winner-take-all two party system and can avoid "spoiling"
- throwing an election to the most conservative candidate by splitting
the votes that might go to two more progressive candidates (ours
and another party's). For more information on fusion click

We hope you will join us in re-establishing fusion as a tool for
Americans to take back the political process.
