Welcome to Modern Whig Party of Texas

Welcome to the official site of the Modern Whig Party of Texas!
 
Initially founded by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the Modern Whig Party continues to build its national presence. 
 
We are the Texas branch of the fastest growing political party in the United States.  Essentially, Modern Whig members are independent-minded voters who want to be affiliated with a moderate, common-sense party.  While we are idealistic to some extent, we also see the value of independent thinking and danger of being limited to one distinct ideology.
 
The Modern Whig Party is not some sterile organization. We encourage participation and offer leadership positions to many qualified members. Our mission is to re-enter the public consciousness and cater to those voters who are independent-minded and find themselves cherry-picking issues from both the GOP and the Democratic Party. Perhaps this is why our membership is so diverse in their geographic locations, occupations and lifestyles.

We believe that independent voters are the silent majority and all-to-often have to settle for the "lesser of two evils." We also realize that re-establishing a third party is an uphill climb under the current system. This is why our growing membership is key. The Modern Whig Party is geared toward those independent voters who want to be affiliated with a palatable national party.
 
We know how hard it is to establish a viable third party. But strength comes in numbers. The Modern Whig Party represents the middle-of-the-road mentality.  Our agenda is merely to express our common-sense ideals and slowly gain ground into the mainstream consciousness. In short, the Modern Whig Party is for the rest of us.

A national meeting of the Modern Whig Council will take place in Washington D.C. on December 12-13th.  As this will be our first national organizational meeting, it is an exciting time to be part of the Modern Whig movement.  The Chair of the Modern Whig Party of Texas will be attending to represent us at this important event.  We have many items to discuss, including further developing our positions on the issues, reviewing state ballot access rules with an eye on future campaigns, coalitions with other political groups, and electing a national leadership team. 
 
Here in Texas, we are continuing our grassroots efforts to organize.  A guide has been sent to all of our county chairs, with instructions and forms relating to the precinct and county conventions to be held on March 2, 2010.  If you are interested in further involvement with the Modern Whigs, send an email to info@texaswhig.org.  We are looking for volunteers to make arrangements for the county meetings.  We can provide you with step by step instuctions, along with the materials that you will need.
 
We intend to follow up with a State Convention in Houston in June 2010
 
An online survey last year showed an almost even division between those who were previously Republican and Democratic, with plenty of former Libertarians, some Greens, and some pure Independents. This means that the Modern Whigs are on the right path.  The desire for real change, honesty in politics, and for regular people to take back control of our country is broader and more comprehensive than is currently reported.

There needs to be a home for those who are fed up, left out, and disregarded by our current politicians.  And that home is the Modern Whig Party.  No two people are ever going to have the same beliefs or perspective on every issue. But by reaching for common ground, and by engaging with each other in the spirit of good will and compromise -- dirty words elsewhere, unfortunately -- we can accomplish something.
