Continuing the legacy of Teddy Roosevelt. We seek to help the Bull Moose Party to rise again!

The conscience of the people, in a time of grave national problems, has called into being a new party, born of the Nation's awakened sense of justice. We of the Progressive Party here dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the duty laid upon us by our fathers to maintain that government of the people, by the people and for the people whose foundation they laid. We hold with Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln that the people are the masters of their Constitution, to fulfill its purposes and to safeguard it from those who, by perversion of its intent, would convert it into an instrument of injustice. In accordance with the needs of each generation the people must use their sovereign powers to establish and maintain equal opportunity and industrial justice, to secure which this Government was founded and without which no republic can endure. This country belongs to the people who inhabit it. Its resources, its business, its institutions and its laws should be utilized, maintained or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest. It is time to set the public welfare in the first place. The Old Parties Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great tasks both of the old parties have turned aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare, they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them impartially to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the Republican Party, and the fatal incapacity of the Democratic Party to deal with the new issues of the new time, have compelled the people to forge a new instrument of government through which to give effect to their will in laws and institutions. Unhampered by tradition, uncorrupted by power, undismayed by the magnitude of the task, the new party offers itself as the instrument of the people to sweep away old abuses, to build a new and nobler commonwealth.

Was Teddy Conservative?

Would Teddy Roosevelt be considered socially conservative and fiscally progressive according to our standards?

conflicted about the bull moose party

on one hand, it's roosevelts vision, unrestrained from the conservative wings of the republicans
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/progressive-party-platform-1912 but it also ensured he would never win in November, and allowed woodrow wilson to come to power

Theodore Roosevelt and Georgism

Full Disclosure, I'm just a historian who doesn't really care for politics, but if I had to pick one ideology to stand by, it would be roosevelts, anyway, henry george was an american economist who proposed getting rid of all taxes except one, a land value tax, or lvt, this tax would increase or decrease depending on the value of what the land is being used for, it was a prominent school of thought for most progressives, despite this, roosevelt in his 1912 campaign supported the creation of an income tax, what are your thoughts on this discrepancy?

New here

Hello everyone. I’ve been intrigued by the historic Bull Moose Party for a little bit and finally got the idea to see if it was alive on Reddit. Anyways, hello everyone I’m glad to see some other people who also carry similar ideology. I live in NM and am surrounded by very left democrats and far right catholic republicans. I don’t find myself with much commonality between other party and much prefer a more central approach to politics. All of that said, are there any other fellow NM people in here?

Why do campaigning 3rd party candidates always shoot for the president position?

It would make more sense to campaign for a couple house rep. positions or Maybe even a couple senatorial seats just to build a foundation. That would sense dounf that before electing a 3rd party president.

Any Wisconsin Moose in here?

I'm Derek Woellner, a progressive that unseated a two-term incumbent to become mayor of my hometown when I was 25. Being mayor made it even more clear that we need change at the state level. We need to begin planning how we're going to get progressives into the state assembly and senate in 2024. We should look at targeting a US House seat or two as well. I'm up in the northwoods and am looking for other northerners (Hwy 29 up) to join forces with. We need to organize and unite our numbers. Hit me up.
