USTPM Platform Preamble
A glimpse of who we are
The U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan (hereinafter referred to as USTPM), an Affiliate of the Constitution Party, gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.
Howard Phillips, founder of our national affiliate, the Constitution Party, said about the party, “our simple, straightforward intention is to cut the federal government down to constitutional size, and to restore the separation of powers, the checks and balances, and the systems of accountability postulated by the framers.”
This is our whole premise.
Meet Our State Leadership
There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. - John Adams
