The Southern Party was organized in Asheville, North Carolina by a voluntary association of Southern nationalists in August, 1999 the year of our Lord, for the express purpose of electing Southern nationalist candidates for public offices at the State and local level in 16 Southern states of the United States.
The overriding goal of the party is to secure popular, electoral mandates for peaceful, lawful and orderly secession from the American union by each of the 16 Southern States. Once achieved, it is the party's further intention to orchestrate a constitutional convention of the seceding states so that the Confederate States of America may be restored as the lawful, confederated government of the Southern nation.
Until such time as these goals are achieved, the Southern Party is dedicated to advancing the national interests of the people of Dixie. To this end, we will work tirelessly for the devolution of political power away from the federal government of the United States and back down to the States where ultimate sovereignty properly resides.
More specifically, we will vigorously oppose all attempts by federal officials to usurp State sovereignty and to violate the restraints placed upon federal power by the U.S. Constitution. Members of the Southern Party who win elective office will be pledged to place the interests of their State above any external interests. In short, our party will work to limit the excesses of Washington and will demand that the federal government operate as a republic, not like an empire.
Last, but not least, the Southern Party shall serve as a political shield - pledged to guard our unique Southern cultural heritage and national character. We believe that the Southern nation, in the absence of full independence from the Yankee government in Washington, will ultimately be homogenized out of existence by social and political forces that we cannot successfully resist so long as we remain a political minority within a Yankee, mercantilist empire where Dixie's political representatives in the U.S. Congress are always outvoted by 2-1 margins in Washington.
Only through full political independence and the establishment of a new Southern Confederacy can the Southern dream of peace, prosperity and liberty be fully realized. Sovereignty and self-determination will finally allow Southerners to be in charge of their own destiny for the first time since our freedom was stolen from us at Appomattox in 1865.
To achieve this dream of freedom, the officers and membership of the Southern Party pledge to one another our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor in pursuit of this lofty goal.
