The November, 2008 election brought many changes, across the polical spectrum.

It has not, however, changed the fundamental principles expressed on these pages.

A major revision of these pages is currently underway, to add content, and to update specific references to parties, events, etc. In the course of the revision, minor changes will be posted on some pages.

While, that revision proceeds, please read the information posted here for its fundamental ideas and principles.

As always, your comments are welcome: partyiii@greatreality.com
