I’ve tried going to that website more times than I can count, but all I ever get is a blank page. Others I’ve talked to say the same thing. I think you’re the only one with access to it Richard.
i was able to get on it. its a little unclear what this party stands for though. most of content is super vague.
I was able to get on the website – they should just join the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party from what it looks like to me.
Well I’m still getting a blank page.
UPDATE! I finally got on! Sort of. Not really. There’s several links to things like “platform” and “policy”, but when I click them nothing happens. The Obamacare website works better than their site.
President Washington chastised them for leaving part of the platform visible on their website.
This 1787 group, while featuring some prominent individuals, appears to be a rogue group intent on a rewrite of the entire constitutional framework of the USA.
From their platform, they are not 100% pro-Life, they are pro Amnesty, legalize pot, support cap & trade, want to ban “assault weapons,”… they sound like a blend of the Green and Libertarian parties.
“prominent individuals?” In what way? I have never heard of any of the four people listed on their Leadership page.
The 1787 Party is named after the 1787 Constitutional Convention, which among others was attended by Elbridge Gerry, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, George Mason, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
These would be the prominent individuals.
George Washington was the presiding officer, but apparently spoke only twice. Once to direct the delegates to the importance of their work; and another time to admonish a delegate who had left papers in the meeting room (the convention sessions were secret).
So it would make since that the presiding officer of the 1787 Party would tell members not to leave documents sitting around where any web surfer might read them.
