Crafting a third party

Regarding “Vexed voters seek a sign,” (Page A3, Wednesday), I hope and pray that out of the ashes of this year’s presidential election a new third party will emerge. The party would be focused on moderate Americans from both parties and independents. The new party would encourage extremists in both Democratic and Republican parties to remain in their respective party.

The first order of business of the new party would be to negate the Supreme Court’s ruling of Citizens United, which created the unlimited funding of political campaigns by corporations, unions and multi-millionaires.

The second action of the new party would be to bring back our troops from Afghanistan and Iraq and stop funding their corrupted governments. The Japanese taught us about “continuous Improvement” programs in making cars which resulted in their leading the world in quality.

I would hope the new party would use the same concept in our politicking and laws by taking the best ideas from both parties and use that in conjunction with facts, data, analysis, history and track record to improve existing laws rather than trying to kill them.

This process would be used to improve our education, national health care, tax reform, banking and a host of other national priorities. All we need is a leader who can get this party off the ground. Curt Anderson, The Woodlands
