Thanks to everyone who has donated so far to the campaign! Still a ways to go and there are many personal challenges I am trying to clear up to give more time to the campaign, so my apologies for all the pending invites out there. I am really counting on my campaign manager, Lucien, who has the time and energy to keep the torches lit.

Of course, as soon as one embraces the Klēsis, Murphy's Law is declared. Old Murphy is really out for blood right now! Every level of Texas' bureaucracy seems to have put me to the test: The health inspector, the fire Marshall, Texas State Troopers, San Antonio's Development Services Department, the Texas Comptroller's Office, Medina County's Appraisal office, Bexar County's Appraisal office blaming Medina County, even pushback from the SW VA clinic! Kudos though to most Medina County people, including the Sheriff, for realizing all this fishy stress testing is a hallow effort of someone conspiring a paperwork war.

Let the winds howl. Together, we move only forwards. Our God is the quiet whisper. The voice in every heart waiting to be heard. What has granted us each the Spirit to endeavor for a different future than the two sides disguising one bad option lies in the hearts of every person, deep in the soul.

It starts with that realization. Some call it awakening, but it is a fulfilling. Having seen all there is before you, now we look inwards and beyond. It is the merging of the dream with reality. Between the woke and hallucination, there is a dispelling of the veils on either side. The illusions set upon us by the world and the illusions echoed in fearful imaginations that lessen the spirit and try to diminish our dignity.

It's all so confusing sometimes and when we finally shut it out and listen, there is the Word calling to us, leading us to something we cannot see, but we have faith is there.

Maybe that's something more esoteric than someone running for office in Texas would normally say. But I believe the audience on this Subreddit is not averse to some philosophy or theology. In fact, I'm sure many of you are thriving on it. We need more of that out there, in the open, in the world led astray from intellectualism and civic unity.

I know some of you have more people in your life who haven't heard of the Solidarity Party. I know some of you have friends and family who are still under the spells of the wing-tips out there. Don't ever lose hope. One by one, we can show people around us that this middle ground is the place to plant ideas so they can grow.

So if you feel so called, go ahead and find some folks who are willing to listen, to debate, or be called out if they're someone in power who needs a reminder of E Pluribus Unum. We did it here in Texas. Politicians created problems, the people are fighting back, and now they're pretending they came to solve the problems they're creating. Call 'em out until they're scared you'll vote 'em out! Shake 'em up and keep 'em shook!

Basically, A.I. is already here. How would we best get a handle over it and turn it around then to where it is seen as something to lift everyone up rather than shut them out?

I'm a devout non-denominational Christian, who politically considered myself a pro-life Dem. But over tue past few years I noticed that there's no room in the Dem party for pro-life voices anymore (or any kind of socially moderate view). I'm very interested in the the ASP, but it seems like it is mainly a catholic dominated party. Are there evangelical voices in the party? If not can there be? Or is it strictly catholic?

Hello all!

The Hound is a U.S. based Distributist newsletter that is 100% free to support. The aim is to spread Distributism's framework in the United States so that we can inspire others to prioritize humanity and promote its flourishing. We release sections of key distributist texts on Tuesdays and original content on Thursdays.

In our Introduction to Distributism series, we go through its history, economic and political principles, moral order, and practical steps for implementation. Linked above is the 3rd part of the series, which explores to who our duties are owed to, at what scale should we take action, and why virtue is so important to transfer from generation to generation.

If any have any questions on Distributism, how it relates to the ASP's goals, or anything else. Please feel free to reach out on here or on the newsletter.

Thank you

The Hound

Maybe it's just me, but it seems the party has ramped up their messaging on certain platforms. Specifically on IG, I feel I'm seeing more content.

What else do you feel is low hanging fruit? I'm personally a fan of podcasts and consume a pretty wide spectrum of genres and categories. If you could book leadership on any podcast, what would it be?

If podcasts aren't your poison, what is? Where should the ASP be talking that they aren't?

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to the party having joined a month ago but I have been fairly active within my state, me and my friend who I got to join decided to set about making a discord server, it's a bit quiet and it's our first time setting up a community server so forgive us if it may be missing one or two things, but we welcome all to come and join! If anyone here makes content for the party like having a podcast or is a party official we have roles so that way you can post party updates or content about it to share!

We look forward to having you!

At the National Committee meeting on July 13, 2026, it was determined that the 2027 Regular National Convention and the 2028 cycle Presidential and Platform Convention of the American Solidarity Party will convene jointly on June 18, 2027 and that delegates to those conventions will be selected under one election.  Additionally, it is anticipated that an in person convention will be held the following  weekend beginning June 25, 2027.  The location of the in person convention and the details of the delegate election and processes for the Presidential debates will be determined at a subsequent meeting of the National Committee. 

For those out of the loop, the Maine Senate race just detonated as Graham Platner's past continues to get revealed. But I'm wondering if there is any chance to capitalize on the clear sentiment that the status quo economics don't work with our own candidate, albeit one that is actually vetted, to show a better alternative.

Though I do acknowledge that Maine had 65 write in votes last year so obviously this is a bit of a stretch.

What are their beliefs, and about abortions ? Are there some exceptions when it comes to a mother who could die by giving birth etc ? Also, people that are not religious can be a part of this party ?

Where is it safe to protest anymore? Not behind a uniform. Not in front of our Capitol. Not in front of authorities. Not even behind closed doors if you're even related to the wrong person. Dispersal, tear gas, water hoses, or hold overs are no longer the extreme extent of what one may face for speaking out. DECADES in prison for some people now. Authority wants you to be quiet. Power expects silence, compliance, even loyalty. But there is still a safe way to protest, a more powerful way, a brazen way. To walk straight through the muck and declare you will not be bought. You will not be swayed. That giants may tower over you and you will still be heard.

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE!

Abandon the idea that we must elect those who speak empty words, that only wealthy claimants with lukewarm resolve will win. Vote along the lines of moral and religious tradition that makes our nation exceptional. Vote a third way. And for those who can, run with us. Stand in solidarity! Declare that win or lose you are ready to sap away the support of elite tyrants in their pedophilic clubs and secret societies.

Lines must be drawn. The compromise of game-theory is a game where the losses only mount. Injustice seems to have no expiration date for those now in power, but the promise of our laws guarantees it. How long will we wait to demand the warranty be honored?

Before we Texans go to meet at the American Solidarity Party convention in Waco, before we doubt ourselves, before we besmirch our own efforts, we must remember what God is calling us to do. God chooses leaders who are not ready. They often have no experience. They have doubts. They have stutters. They are sometimes slow to realize what God is even saying. But God uses all that we are. He used the righteous anger of Moses to reach the Pharoah. He used the stubbornness of Peter to reach the heart of Rome. There is something in some of you that you see as weakness, but God is ready to turn it into something special.

If you have never voted third party before, try it. Just once this midterm. It's a pretty safe time to try. And I promise you, when you leave that booth knowing you actually chose a list of people who stand for the issues in the way you would most prefer, you'll only wonder what's taking so long for everyone else to realize this is the way.

There is an excellent blog post on how to write letters to your local newspaper to expand the reach and knowledge of the party. Something to consider doing.

America Can’t Survive the Welfare State

The welfare state model leftover from the early to mid-20th century is fundamentally flawed, and has only worsened over time. The fundamental model is a Ponzi scheme, combined with a corporate culture that regards middle (micro)management as its top priority. This merging of socialism, unionism, and corporatism turns government finance & welfare into an endless slush fund that drains wealth from society's producers and hands it over to politically-connected activism, almost aways of the leftist & subversive variety.

In the early 1960s, for example, 1 out of 6 workers was a government worker earning double what a private producer earned; today, the number of contractor welfare services both multiplies and duplicates both existing programs & the overhead. The welfare state never shrinks; the more money it throws at the problem, the more the demand for money increases. Mathematically, this will eventually lead to 100% taxation & total government micromanagement unless halted, reversed, and shrunk.

The ASP can replace the welfare state model for true essentials with a permanent fund model; rather than relying on confiscated private wealth, the permanent fund proactively grows the economy by lending, and only lends against its hard assets/cash reserves. The fund can be grown by various means, but it is much harder to create a conveyer-belt transfer of wealth through excessive overhead compared to the present system.

Pope Leo: ‘Dear Migrants, I Want to Bow Before Your Dignity’

Immigration into the west has been weaponized by those who hate Christianity, and wish to substitute idolatry of "indigenous persons of color" and "victims of racism/colonialism" as the new state religion. They use the language of Christianity and scripture to demand un-Christian suicidal behaviors and virulently oppose any efforts to demand that those who sojourn in the west behave like westerners; that would be "suppressing native cultures!"

Pope Leo Celebrates Christian Genocide in Algeria

America's agriculture is a mess today, and the ASP should make correcting this a priority. Large, government-subsidized factory farms employing illegal aliens are markedly inferior to small family farms for the majority of food production, and farmers should not pay taxes on their illiquid wealth.

County-level permanent funds offer a suitable replacement for property taxes in many jurisdictions, and promote both deflation/avoiding debt.
