What is the Reform Party doing in 2012?
We are currently focusing on:

 - Building strong state party organizations
 - Increasing fundraising capabilities
 - Helping state parties increase their skills and resources
 - Helping state parties identify potential candidates for local, state, and federal office

Building State Party Organizations

In states with very little organization, we are focusing on networking activists so they can build strong, functioning state parties.  Contact us today to find out how you can get involved!

Increasing Fundraising

Printing and mailing material, maintaining websites, hiring petition gatherers, all of these things take money.  The Reform Party can not be successful unless the state parties and the national committee can meet our legal financial obligations and are able to pay for the services we need.  While the vast majority of our labor is all volunteer, it still takes money to have a functioning organization.

At the national level, increasing small donors is critical to our core beliefs.  Only by relying on small donors like you can we ensure we are accountable to all of our supporters and not any single large contributor.

Helping State Parties

Strong state party organizations are critical to our success.  In states with ballot access, we are focusing our national efforts on helping them to identify and run candidates, to build their state fundraising, and to increase their leadership abilities.

In states without ballot access, we are focusing on identifying independent candidates for office that the state party can support, and on strategies to regain ballot access.

Identifying Candidates

The Reform Party is looking for individuals who are willing to seek public office at the local, state, and national level.  We can not be a political party without candidates, and we can not impact the political landscape without credible candidates.

What do we look for in a candidate?  Generally speaking, you should have desire to take on the very difficult problems that face us at all levels of government.  Your focus as a candidate should be in line with the local, state, or national Reform Party Platform.  And finally you should be willing to work for the success of not only your own campaign, but for the success of your fellow candidates and the Reform Party in general.  The strength of a political party, unlike an independent campaign, is that it builds on the success of each candidate, and by doing so can have a gradually increasing impact on elections.
