WASHINGTON -- Founded by veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Modern Whig Party has quickly attracted 20,000 members to go along with 25 state chapters.
*Raising like a Phoenix from the ashes of history the Modern Whig Party is alive once again with a Missouri chapter on the move and growing. Started in October 2008 has this chapter been growing in numbers with many members' from different backgrounds including the chapter chairman, who himself is an Iraq veteran.
The Whig Party is intimately intertwined with Lincoln's legacy. This vaunted president helped build the Whigs into a mainstream, common-sense movement and in fact served as a Whig legislator. While Lincoln joined the newly formed Republican
Party after the demise of the Whigs, he always maintained the rational mentality of his longtime party.
Through the hard work and motivation of recently deployed service members, the Modern Whig Party was organized to be a home for those
voters who place common-sense, rational thought ahead of ideology. Like the original party of Lincoln, the Modern Whigs cater to those who subscribe to mainstream values across the political spectrum.
During the organization phase of
this movement, the Modern Whig Party already is recognized as the fastest-growing mainstream political movement in the country. Thousands of moderate Republicans and Democrats have signed on. With an
executive committee and national headquarters in Washington, DC, the Modern Whig Party is recapturing the longtime ideals of Lincoln as they build toward being a true party for the rest of us. | | | | Article Source : Article-treasure.com | | Publication date : 06-15-2010 | | | | Article by Darius Radmanesh | | | | Darius Radmanesh
