Centrists Unite Under Modern Whig Banner
In a time of such frustration with the American political system, there is a glimmer of hope, a sprout that needs nourishment to be sure, but a movement that is indeed germinating. Two of the largest moderate political movements, the American Centrist Party and the Modern Whig Party have decided to merge.
Mergers are not easy, but in the name of centrist progress, these two champions have put the American people first. Over 46,000 centrists and moderates are uniting under the Modern Whig Party banner. Additional members expected to join this energized movement.
As the Democrats and Republicans continue their polarized rhetoric designed to damage one another, some patriotic Americans are dedicated to finding another way. Many moderate parties have smaller infrastructures, yet are expanding, as the dissatisfaction with the Washington “blame game” grows.
Why is this merger important? With a National Debt that has escalated under both major parties, Americans must find another party to bring common sense and fiscal restraint to government. With special interests legally bribing politicians with campaign contributions, Americans must find a party that demonstrates a higher integrity. Uniting centrists and moderates is essential to bringing the United States back from the partisan tribal warfare that has afflicted our country.
Established in 1833, the Whigs are one of America’s oldest mainstream political parties. They were the original party of Abraham Lincoln and four other U.S. Presidents. Revived by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the grassroots movement has quickly attracted tens of thousands of members. They represent moderate voters from all walks of life that cherry-pick between traditional Democratic and Republican ideals, or can choose another path, in what has been called the Modern Whig Philosophy.
While many of the news outlets may pay little attention to this merger, it is an extremely important grass roots event. The Modern Whig party is expected to seek further mergers to unite centrists and moderates.

Do you happen to know these people? They’re not answering their email and I’m trying to get to them to volunteer some help them with some things they appear to really need.
I spoke with Andrew Evans, the Vice-Chair, this past weekend (I am more familiar with the ACP side.) He warned me they’d be very busy dealing with media inquiries in response to the announcement.
I’ll be glad to try to help. What state do you live in?
They REALLY need help with their website, and if they let their public face be so dated, they’ll probably need help with some backend stuff as well. If I see a well run organization while I help them with stuff like that, I might be willing to help in Nebraska & Iowa (I’m on the border in Omaha).
We (Modern Whig Party) are always in need of more people to assit, as we are a completely volenteer organisation and can never have enough people who can give their time (as you mentioned). Please feel free to contact me at areynolds@cawhigparty.org, I am not in your area, but can guide you to the right people.
