Welcome to the website of New Dignity Party. This party is developing a new package of ideas that may help America at a critical point in our history. Born on the 4th of July in 2009, we declare our own independence from the bipartisan political regime.
In particular:
(1) We aspire to establish a new paradigm in the politics of identity.
(2) We would rein in powers assumed by local governments without the consent of the governed.
(3) We lament the decline of honest journalism as big media companies shape the news along certain lines.
Specifically:
(1) We like white people (and people of other races, too).
(2) We don’t like local governments meddling in their residents’ personal affairs.
(3) And you better shape up, too, Star Tribune!
This party is starting out in Minnesota in the summer of ’09. If all goes well, it will be nationwide in three years. That’s the plan. You’ll find here a clean break from what the two major parties have promoted. Now take a look at some documents to see more specifically what we have in mind.
(1) On identity, here’s a mission statement. For a longer statement, read this.
(2) On local government, here’s a letter to Mayor Rybak of Minneapolis.
(3) On newspaper bias, read How the Star Tribune slants political news.

New Dignity credo
I exist in the fullness of human dignity. I am not bound by inherited guilt.
As an American, I look forward to taking my rightful place in a community that accords respect to each individual regardless of political fashions or the lessons of contentious history.
