The Democratic-Republican Convention

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was the third president of the United States (1801-1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and one of the most beloved and revered Founding Fathers of the United States of America.

He founded the Democratic-Republican party to stand in opposition to the policies of Alexander Hamilton, specifically that central banking and corruption be built into American politics lest it should be unable to function with the monarchies of Europe. The Democratic-Republican Party stood for states’ rights in opposition to the powerful central government the Federalists were building. As such, its members believed in strict interpretation of the Constitution, limited central government, and a small national military.

 

Democratic-Republican Party policies represented the interests of common free men, particularly  farmers, craftsmen, and laborers. Its economic policies reflected the needs of small businesses and individuals rather than of wealthy merchants and large commercial ventures. The Democratic-Republican Party grew quickly through the use of pamphlets, newspaper articles, and organized political clubs, the /pol/ of its day as it were.

The party's leader, Thomas Jefferson, was elected president in 1800. The Democratic-Republican Party dominated national politics for the next twenty-five years. The Democratic-Republican party has long been considered the party of states rights, before the corruption Hamilton fostered finally splintered the party into its modern day corrupt factions.

​

We have seen this corruption nearly bring the world to ruins for the profit of a very few. At the time of this writing, the news is breaking about the Blackberry Cabal pay-to-play scheme. Enough is enough.

We believe that the time for the original party of limited government should be restored.
