Christian Liberty Party


The Christian Liberty Party is a political party in the United States whose platform advocates social conservatism. Its platform positions include the opposition to abortion, as well as opposition to property taxes; it advocates "an educational system that respects individual freedom of conscience and reinforces the Biblical role and responsibility of the family as the educator of youth". Ideologically, the Christian Liberty Party is aligned with the Christian right and Christian nationalism, viewing the United States as a Christian state and seeing "the Bible as a blueprint for political action".

History

The Christian Liberty Party was founded in June 2000 as the American Heritage Party after a group of members left the Constitution Party. The reason for the establishment of Christian Liberty Party was due to the fact that the Constitution Party did not explicitly identify itself as a Christian party. To this end, the Christian Liberty Party is "a political party that adopts the Bible as its political tetbook and is unashamed to be explicitly Christian... whose principles are drawn from Scripture."

Campaigns

Under its old name of the American Heritage Party it ran candidates for local positions in 2000 and 2002 in the state of Washington.
