To the Members and Supporters of the Reform Party,
We had a great year in 2021. For the first time in twenty years, the Reform Party is operating as intended. Our standing committees, all long defunct, are now staffed and working. The payoff from this success was exponential. The Reform Party raised more money this year than the last four years combined. We also improved our organizational rules, introduced new communication technologies, held educational conferences, and made many other modernizations. In doing this, the Reform Party leadership set a baseline to measure success in future years.
As our position improved, the position of the Democratic and Republican Parties eroded. Forty four percent of Americans identify as independents, and the Democrats and Republicans both hold twenty nine percent of the voting demographic. For the establishment parties, this is an all-time low.
With the major parties floundering, now is the time for another political party to emerge and lead. The Reform Party must take advantage of this moment, and our leadership is ready to move not left, not right, but forward. We present calm reason to an emotionally charged atmosphere of fear, anger, and doubt. We ask that you not follow but help us lead this charge to better the nation for all.
2022 marks the 30th Anniversary of Ross Perot’s first run for President. On this anniversary, we look back and say, “Ross was Right”. When Ross Perot highlighted America’s debts, America was four trillion dollars in the red. As of writing this letter, the United States has nearly thirty trillion dollars in liabilities. Also In 1992, the United States trade debt was 39 billion dollars, and as of 2021 it rose to 140 billion. These are only two of many issues Ross Perot featured during his presidential run. America’s situation is worse off in these, and others areas, as he predicted.
On the 30th Anniversary of his first run for President, the Reform Party will present a modernized message mirroring Ross Perot’s positions. In 2022, we will present modernized charts with today’s data, and show how his platform was ahead of his time, and so was the Reform Party.
Our time is now, if we choose to take it. With you to aid us, we will not fail. Whether you choose to support the Reform Party through volunteering your time, skills, money, or your vote – I thank everyone that supports our mission during this exciting time. It is an honor to be one of your leaders.
Forever Yours,
Nicholas Hensley
Chairman
Reform Party National Committee
