The Republican Party began as a new party in 1856 and only 4 years later, Abraham Lincoln was elected president in a 4 way race.在共和黨開始是一個新黨於1856年，只有4年之後，亞伯拉罕林肯當選總統在4方式的比賽。 Back in 1860 the two major parties of the day were the Whigs and the Democrats.早在1860年的兩個主要政黨當天的輝格黨和民主黨。

Competition yields superior products or in this case candidates.產量競爭優勢的產品或在這種情況下，候選人。 Competition would give us better elected officials and better government.競爭將使我們更好地當選官員和更好的政府。 One of the things that makes America great is competition.的事情之一就是讓美國偉大的是競爭。 But there is very little competition on Election Day.但是，很少有競爭的選舉日。 Imagine the NFL with only two teams.想想看美式足球，只有兩個隊。

In 2004, the number of valid ballot access signatures required for a third party to have its candidates’ names listed in all 50 states has risen to millions of signatures!在2004年，一些有效選票獲得所需的簽名第三方將其候選人的名字列在所有50個州已經上升到數百萬個簽名！ Approximately 25% of the voters across our country are registered as either independent or as members of a “third party.” Over the last 10 years this has been the largest growing segment of voter registrations, which illustrates that voters are tired of the same 2 choices and are hungry for more competition on Election Day.大約25 ％的選民在我國註冊為獨立或作為成員的“第三方” 。過去10年來這一直是最大的增長部分的選民登記，這說明選民已經厭倦了相同的第2選擇和渴望更多的競爭，選舉日。

Third parties increase voter participation and citizen involvement in government, bringing about a return to “government by the people” in a competitive environment offering multiple ideas and candidates.第三方增加選民的參與和公民參與政府，帶來了回到“政府的人”在競爭環境中提供了多種意見和候選人。

Given a level playing field, third parties can play a significant role in restoring our Constitutional Republic and help reduce voter apathy, which is one of the major reasons we no longer have a government that is responsive to the people.鑑於一個公平競爭的環境，第三方可以發揮重大的作用，恢復我們的共和國憲法，並幫助降低選民的冷漠，這是一個主要的原因，我們不再具有政府順應人民。

There are plenty of political parties to choose from; Party X, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Libertarian Party, the First American Party.有很多政黨選擇;黨的十，民主社會主義黨，自由黨，第一美國的黨。 The list goes on.這樣的例子不勝枚舉。
