Feel free to give me advice on how to improve this draft. I plan to implement this Charter by Tuesday, in time for the Council nominations period. |

I'm fine with having a three-seat Council, but four party officials on top of that? Are you sure you aren't going overboard with the offices? We only have eight members! If we do this, it'll have to be not only permitted, but normal to hold multiple offices- two, three, even four at a time. |

Since our motto is Faith, Family, Freedom, I think you should include some description of exactly what is meant by that. Also, "Article 3 Part 1: Membership within the Party shall not be denied to any individual on account of their nationality, ethnicity, sex, or religious beliefs." That's fine except for the last part, "religious beliefs." We have certain principles and if those principles aren't held by certain religious beliefs then we can't accept them (e.g. sodomy, freedom, and equal dignity of all men). For example, if someone says that he worships the devil, we certainly shouldn't let him into our party. |

I agree. I think there should be a provision that states "...so long as said beliefs do not contravene the core principles of the Party." |

“It is significant that, as innocent babies are killed, and capital punishment is withheld from their murderers, the same men who plead for the murderer's life also demand the “right” to abortion. Usually, the same picketers that carry a sign one day, “Abolish Capital Punishment,” also carry “Legalize Abortion” another day. When this is called to their attention, their answer is, “There is no contradiction involved.” They are right: the thesis is “condemn the innocent and free the guilty.” ~ R. J. Rushdoony, founder of Christian Reconstructionism "Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small!

I think that members of the Council should hold functional offices (such as Recruitment Officer, Discipline Officer (or Whip), Propoganda Officer, etc.), as well as being Council members. An article should also be written that provides for the appointment of additional Party Officials by the Council, who can also be deposed by majority vote of the Council. |

There's this thing I wrote a while back: "We are party that is socially conservative and economically liberal. We stand for traditional values and the free market, and are committed to defending the right to life of the unborn, in all circumstances. We are the most consistently conservative party in Right to Life, and our core values are expressed in our motto: Faith, Family, Freedom Faith: We affirm without reservation the truth of the Christian religion and acknowledge its foundational role in shaping the law, language and culture of Western Civilisation. We are determined to preserve its primacy in society, whilst at the same guaranteeing freedom of conscience and religious tolerance to all citizens. We believe that man-made law should conform to Divine Law, as revealed in Holy Scripture, and that Faith alone provides the guiding compass, the 'True North' by which, and to which, the great Ship of State may be steered. Family: The heterosexual married family is the bedrock and fundamental unit of society, the environment in which children are nurtured and reared to be productive and law-abiding Citizens, and as such we will resolutely defend it against all assault; whether from easy, no-fault divorce, or same-sex, so-called "marriage". The State should not seek to usurp the place of the family, but rather to support and protect it. Although we are dedicated to the capitalist way of life, we nonetheless hold that a part of compassionate government is providing assistance to honest families that are in need, through no fault of their own. Freedom: All people, whatever their class, colour or sex, are born free, and equal in the eyes of God, and therefore must be equal in the eyes of the Law. We swear to maintain the fundamental rights and liberties accorded Citizens of Right to Life in the Constitution, convinced that "Liberty under Law" is the maxim of a free and happy society. A part of this liberty is the right of all citizens to pursue their own happiness through the work of their own hands, free from the interference of a grasping, overreaching State. On these grounds we firmly declare that individual responsibility and the free market are essential to a truly democratic, law-governed society, and are the best methods of securing prosperity to all." Feel free to use/rearrange bits of it as you please. |

Also, the separate nominations of the Council and the President/Senator candidates could cause something of a problem. What if a situation arose where the Life Party President and Senators were entirely separate from the leadership of the Party, and could theoretically be expelled/disciplined by them? Surely it makes sense that the party members who have received the endorsement of the public in being elected to public office, and bear the greatest burden of responsibility, are also the decision makers in the party. I think in particular, that Phydios, as the Life Party President of Right to Life, should be Chairman/Leader of the Party. Otherwise there could be potential conflicts of interest. What do you think about changing the Charter so that all Senate nominees and the Presidential candidates are members of the Council, or at least have some power in the Party. You could combine the primaries and nominations period? |
