We're up to half of all Americans being, pro-Liberty & pro-American!
God bless America, and a pox on the Republican and Democrat tyrants.
How many people right here on Liberty's Flame are disgusted by both parties and want an option?
How many of you are willing, right here, right now, to commit to helping set up a NEW party that is explicitly not the Democrats OR the Republicans.
I am. Who else?
I propose a name, too: The "Christian Commonwealth" party. The party's moral code is overtly Christian, with all that that means (things like no abortion, no gay marriage, an aversion to violence). Just having "Christian" in the name itself acts as a nice filter to keep quite a few subversives out because of the horror of formally, and publicly, labeling themselves as "Christians".
"Commonwealth" points to the economic principles of the party. This is not a free trade capitalism party. It's not a socialist party. It's a party that believes generally that the purpose of organized economics is to provide for everybody within the realm. The best practical way to do that is through personal economic liberty, but personal economic liberty can swiftly turn into self-centered greed which is neither Christian nor aimed at improving the over all common wealth. Christian Republicans believe in a regulated free market economy with a strong social safety net and a comprehensive fair taxation system to pay for it.

How "strong" a "safety net" do you propose? What criteria? What do you consider "fair tax"? Do you endorse Amnesty, and if you do, whose obligation is it to finance it?

These are complicated things that would require a lot of ink to flesh out. And anyway, I suggesting we form a party, not that I should be the head of it. So I'll give you my view of your short questions in comparably short answers.
How strong? Very.
What criteria? Universal.
What is a "fair tax"? A tax which taxes each individual's total wealth at the same percentage as it taxes everybody else, and that is set at the level necessary to fund all levels of government with no deficit, and with a sufficient surplus to eventually pay off all government debt.
Regarding illegal aliens, the Border must be closed and guarded to stop the flow. Violent illegals need to be deported. Families of US citizens need to be regularized with green cards, but without a path to citizenship (no VOTE, ever). Employers who hire illegals need to be fined heavily, to remove all economic incentive for hiring them. Border patrols and welfare is financed by the regular government. Fines should be punitive and assist in defraying the costs.

If we were starting from scratch you might have a good case and concept. It sure does appear you're supporting a strong Christian-Socialist state with heavy regs...

This is the solution. The problem is an enforcement mechanism. The employer must have an an available and reliable way to verify the status of prospective employees. Employees can readily provide bogus documents/information and get government acceptance and benefits.
