The New Federalist PartyPart I. As the only member of the New Federalist Party, it is with great honor that I present to you the very first New Federalist platform.PREAMBLEThe growing dissent between the two major political parties today have distanced them from the public's point of view. It has been established that the citizens of the United States cannot get what they want from the current major parties. For this reason, a total reconstruction of the current political structure is urgently needed. In response to this need, the New Federalist party was formed.

The New Federalist Party will be nothing more than a collection of like-minded people seeking to improve our great country. In the following pages I have set out the basic principles and various political positions of the New Federalist Party.

The framers of the Constitution never intended for the federal government to grow to the tremendous size it has today. The 10th Amendment states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."2 This means that anything not set forth in the Constitution as regulated by the federal government
